Selected answer:ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS II (OBD2)
Explanation:
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or CHECK ENGINE light as it is more commonly called, is essentially an emission warning light. If the light comes on, it means the Onboard Diagnostics II system (OBD II) has detected an emissions-related problem. OBD II is designed to turn on the MIL light if a problem occurs that may cause emissions to exceed federal limits by 150 percent
