What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a T1000?

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1984 Pontiac T1000, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Pontiac's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
