The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Maxima can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the Maxima malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.
