Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Grand Am, 2002 Oldsmobile Alero, 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and 2002 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
There should be a steady Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) with the ignition ON and the engine OFF. Ignition feed voltage is supplied directly to the MIL. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) turns the MIL ON by grounding the MIL control circuit. No MIL with the key ON, engine not running suggests an open in the battery positive and ignition positive voltage feed fuses and circuits.
