What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a X-1/9?

If your X-1/9 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the X-1/9 check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your X-1/9’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
