Can you clear the Prizm check engine light on your own?

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.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1993 Geo Prizm

Your Prizm’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Prizm and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1993 Geo Prizm to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Geo's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
