How does Chevrolet drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Why is my Express 2500 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Express 2500 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the Express 2500 malfunction warning light on my 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.
