Why is my Outlander malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

A multitude of problems can activate your Outlander’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

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

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander

Your Outlander’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 Outlander and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Mitsubishi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
