Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Neon?

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

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

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. 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.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Neon serious?

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my Neon transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Neon is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
