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

Can you reset your Cimarron’s malfunction warning light at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Cimarron, but it's important to resist the urge.

Care for your 1988 Cadillac Cimarron to maintain its performance power. Follow Cadillac's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
