Can you reset your Cherokee’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Cherokee's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Cherokee.

All About 2001 Jeep Cherokee Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Cherokee's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Jeep, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Cherokee and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2001 Jeep Cherokee, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Jeep's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
