ECM Self-Diagnosis
The ECM performs a continual self-diagnosis on certain control functions. This diagnostic
capability is complemented by the diagnostic procedures contained in this manual. The
ECM’s language for communicating the source of a malfunction is a system of diagnostic
codes. The codes are four digit numbers preceded by the letter “P. ” The prefix letter “P” is
the abbreviation for “Powertrain,” an internationally standard reference. When a
malfunction is detected by the ECM, a code is set and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
is illuminated.
NOTE: On factory instrumentation the MIL is a lamp with a check mark (n) on the colored
lens.
