After a few driving trips, the light should turn off if no other potential emission control system malfunction exists. If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not ready for an emission control system inspection/ maintenance test. ( "READINESS FOR INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST (US only)" page 9-16) . Malfunction indicator light blinking - An engine misfire has been detected which may damage the emission control system.
