15.Malfunction Indicator Light
A: PROCEDURE
1. Activation of check malfunction indicator light. 
                                                                 
2. Check that the malfunction indicator light does not come on. 
                                                                 
3. Check that the malfunction indicator light does not go off. 
                                                                 
4. Check that the malfunction indicator light does not blink at a cycle of 3 Hz. 
                                                                 
5. Check that the malfunction indicator light remains blinking at a cycle of 3 Hz.
