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

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

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

1992 Mazda MPV Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your MPV's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Mazda, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1992 Mazda MPV, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mazda's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Mazda MPV Drivetrain Repairs
