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

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Eclipse’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

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

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 Eclipse'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 Eclipse.

Does my Eclipse transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Eclipse includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Eclipse forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Your Eclipse’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 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 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Mitsubishi's recommendations.

Your Eclipse might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.

That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mitsubishi Eclipse doesn’t drive like it used to.
