Malfunction Indicator Lamp (M.I.L.) will illuminate if problems
or faults are detected. Servicing by an authorized dealer is
necessary.
CAUTION
Do not disconnect or reconnect ECU wiring harness
connector or any individual components with the ignition
switch in the "ON" position. This can send a damaging
voltage spike through the ECU.
Unplug harness from ECU before performing any welding
on equipment.
