Malfunction Indication
Lamp (MIL):
This symbol comes ON when the ignition
is turned “ON” and goes “OFF” once the
engine is cranked.
NOTICE
This symbol will remain “ON” for any
engine related fault, which may cause
increase in emission levels of the car
beyond the regulatory limit. Take your
car to a TATA Authorized service centre.
On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System:
On board Diagnostics or OBD is an
automotive term referring to a vehicle’s
self Diagnostic and reporting capability.
The OBD system allows continuous
diagnosis of the components of the
vehicle correlated with emissions. This
system warns the driver, by turning “ON”
the Malfunction Indication lamp (MIL) on
the instrument cluster, when a fault
causes emission levels to increase.
The OBD system also has a diagnostic
connector that can be interfaced with
appropriate diagnostic tools, which
makes it possible to read the fault codes
stored in the Electronic Control Unit,
together with a series of specific
parameters for Engine operation and
Diagnosis. This check can also be
carried out by the traffic police.
To access the diagnostic connector (Fig.
1), near the fuse box (Fig. 2) which is
located on the cockpit at right side of
the steering wheel as shown in the below
images.
