Malfunction Indicator Lamp

Check Engine Light
This system is called OBD II (On-Board
Canada
Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended to
assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the
life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner
environment. The check engine light comes on to
indicate that there is a problem and service is required.
Malfunctions often will be indicated by the system
before any problem is apparent. This may prevent more
serious damage to your vehicle. This system is also
designed to assist your service technician in correctly
diagnosing any malfunction.
Your vehicle is equipped
with a computer which
monitors operation of the
fuel, ignition, and emission
control systems.
