Is the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) a Common Issue in China VI Vehicles?

[OJack]

No. The illumination of the vehicle's malfunction indicator light is not related to the emission standard. In fact, the online rumor that China VI engines are prone to triggering the MIL is unfounded. There is currently no evidence suggesting that China VI engines have a higher probability of malfunctions compared to engines meeting other emission standards. Reasons for the Malfunction Indicator Light: When the MIL illuminates, it indicates a fault within the vehicle. This fault is not necessarily caused by the engine; it could also stem from issues with the transmission, coolant temperature sensor, oxygen sensor, or other components. The specific problem can only be diagnosed by reading the fault codes with specialized diagnostic equipment. China VI Engines: Not all China VI engines frequently trigger the MIL. Many models equipped with China VI engines demonstrate excellent reliability. In fact, numerous China VI engines are based on their China V counterparts, with the addition of a particulate filter to reduce exhaust emissions.
