What causes a Lancer’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Lancer’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

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

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

Does my Lancer drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Lancer’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Lancer forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
