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

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

Can you clear the Charger 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.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Charger?

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is my Charger’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Charger. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2006 Dodge Charger, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Dodge's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
