Malfunction Indicator Lamp Function

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis, 1995 Mercury Cougar, 1995 Lincoln Town Car, 1995 Ford Thunderbird, and 1995 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Drive cycles and trips are used by OBD-II software strategy to control Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) off function. MIL is illuminated whenever a DTC is stored in memory. MIL is turned off after 3 consecutive drive cycles or trips are completed, without identical fault being present. Number of drive cycles or trips, varies with each system monitor. See appropriate test in this section.
