is telling the MIL to illuminate when the engine is running.
• MIL ON indicates that the Malfunction Indicator Lamp should
be ON.
• MIL OFF indicates that the Malfunction Indicator Lamp should
be OFF.

I/M Monitors (Emissions)

Inspection / Maintenance Monitors provide a snapshot of the Emission
System operations by indicating that the I/M Monitors are Ready or Not
Ready. For an I/M Monitor to be Ready, the vehicle must have com-
pleted a drive cycle (been driven long enough under proper conditions
to have completed a drive cycle). A Monitor must be listed as Ready to
pass an emissions test. If an I/M Monitor is Not Ready, it is because a
drive cycle has not completed.
