What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Spider?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Spider’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my Spider malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Spider's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Spider.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Spider?

If your Spider has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my Spider drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Spider includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Spider forward.
