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.

Care for your 2001 Dodge Viper to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Dodge's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
