What causes a D21’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your D21 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the D21 check engine light on your own?

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