Can my Colt malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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

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.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1989 Plymouth Colt, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Plymouth's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
