What causes a Aviator’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Can you clear the Aviator 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 Aviator’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.
