GENERAL
REQUIREMENTS
(
1)
The
EMD
System.
(
A)
If
a
malfunction
is
present
as
specified
in
section
(
e),
the
EMD
system
shall
detect
the
malfunction.
(
B)
The
EMD
system
shall
provide
diagnostic
information
to
service
and
repair
technicians
to
identify
detected
malfunctions.
(
C)
The
EMD
system
shall
be
designed
to
operate,
without
any
required
scheduled
maintenance,
for
the
actual
life
of
the
engine
in
which
it
is
installed
and
may
not
be
programmed
or
otherwise
designed
to
deactivate
based
on
age
and/
or
mileage
of
the
vehicle
during
the
actual
life
of
the
engine.
This
section
is
not
intended
to
alter
existing
law
and
enforcement
practice
regarding
a
manufacturer's
liability
for
an
engine
beyond
its
useful
life,
except
where
an
engine
has
been
programmed
or
otherwise
designed
so
that
an
EMD
system
deactivates
based
on
age
and/
or
mileage
of
the
engine.
(
2)
MIL
Requirements.
(
A)
MIL
Specifications.
1.
The
MIL
shall
be
of
sufficient
illumination
and
location
to
be
readily
visible
under
all
lighting
conditions.
The
MIL,
when
illuminated,
shall
display
a
phrase
or
icon
determined
by
the
manufacturer
to
be
likely
to
cause
the
vehicle
operator
to
seek
corrective
action.
In
lieu
of
a
dedicated
MIL,
manufacturers
may
utilize
an
existing
warning
light(
s)
to
also
satisfy
the
requirements
of
the
MIL.
2.
The
MIL
shall
illuminate
in
the
key
on,
engine
off
position
before
engine
cranking
to
indicate
that
the
MIL
is
functional.
This
functional
check
of
the
MIL
is
not
required
during
vehicle
operation
in
the
key
on,
engine
off
position
subsequent
to
the
initial
engine
cranking
of
an
ignition
cycle
(
e.
g.,
due
to
an
engine
stall
or
other
non­
commanded
engine
shutoff).
(
B)
Illuminating
the
MIL.
Once
a
malfunction
has
been
detected,
the
EMD
system
shall
illuminate
the
MIL
in
accordance
with
the
manufacturer's
existing
practices
for
notifying
vehicle
operators
and
service
technicians.
(
C)
Extinguishing
the
MIL.
Once
the
MIL
has
been
illuminated,
it
may
be
extinguished
upon
the
EMD
system
determining
that
the
malfunction
is
no
longer
present
provided
no
other
malfunction
has
been
detected
that
would
independently
illuminate
the
MIL
according
to
the
requirements
outlined
above.
(
3)
Monitoring
Conditions.
Manufacturers
shall
define
monitoring
conditions
for
detecting
malfunctions
identified
in
section
(

for
determining
if
malfunctions
no
longer
exist.

such
that
it
cannot
increase
EGR
flow
to
achieve
the
commanded
flow
rate.
2.
High
Flow:
The
EMD
system
shall
detect
a
malfunction
