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

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

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

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. 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.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1996 Chrysler Cirrus

Your Cirrus’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Cirrus and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 1996 Chrysler Cirrus to maintain its performance power. Follow Chrysler's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Chrysler Cirrus Drivetrain Repairs

We can take care of most 1996 Chrysler Cirrus drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Cirrus might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1996 Chrysler Cirrus? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable.
