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

If your Uplander has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

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

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 Uplander's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Uplander forward.
