Conditions for illuminating the MIL 

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Temporary DTC is stored in the ECM/PCM 
memory. If the malfunction recurs during the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the 
freeze frame data are stored. 

Conditions for clearing the MIL 

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic 
runs. 

The MIL, the DTC, the Temporary DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear 
command or by disconnecting the battery.

General Description 

The quick warm-up system supplies additional air and retards the ignition timing when the engine is cold to 
activate the catalytic converter as quickly as possible. 

When the actual engine speed is a specified value or more, and it continues for a specified time, a malfunction is 
detected and a DTC is stored.
