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

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

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

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Loyale's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

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

Is my Loyale’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Loyale includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Loyale forward.
