Why is my LeSabre malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your LeSabre can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the LeSabre check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.
