The following faults may occur:

• blown bulb
• bulb s.c. to earth or positive

A special light failure warning light on the dashboard comes on for all other faults in the various circuits. This warning light comes on for about 6 seconds when the ignition key is turned to MAR, to indicate it is working properly, then it goes off.
