Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my 500L?

A multitude of problems can activate your 500L’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.
