One of the control devices is malfunctioning on the engine, and it needs to go to a shop for repairs. Simple things first though. If the light just came on, check to make your gas cap is on correctly, leaving it loose will cause the check engine light to come on. The light will reset itself after awhile of normal driving. If it does not have your local autopart store or shop read the code. That is the simplist way. Does the engine sputter while driving? That is an electrical problem with the spark plugs not firing when they should or not at all. Change the wres and plugs, check timing. That is what happened to mine

The check engine light on a 1997 Daewoo Lanos can stay on due to various issues, including a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, a faulty mass airflow sensor, or problems with the vehicle's emissions system. It may also indicate issues like a loose or damaged gas cap, engine misfires, or problems with the ignition system. To diagnose the exact cause, it's advisable to use an OBD-II scanner to read the trouble codes stored in the vehicle's computer. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can help prevent the light from staying on.
To check the transmission fluid in a 2001 Daewoo Lanos, first ensure the vehicle is on level ground and the engine is running at normal operating temperature. Locate the transmission dipstick, which is usually found near the back of the engine compartment. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then remove it again to check the fluid level against the marks on the dipstick. If the fluid is low, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid as needed.

To check the transmission of a 2000 Daewoo Lanos, start by inspecting the transmission fluid level and condition using the dipstick, if equipped. Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is running while checking. Look for any leaks beneath the vehicle and listen for unusual noises when the car is in gear. Additionally, test the transmission by shifting through all gears to ensure smooth transitions without slipping or jerking.
Check for water leaks in rubber hoses. Check radiator for leaks. Check for Low engine oil level. Check oil for water ingress (water droplets on dipstick) Check for water in cylinder (Check compression or remove spark plugs, check for rust or water spurring out hole when cranking engine).
If you are refering to trouble codes you have to use a code scanner or a scann tool. Check with Kragen for a free test.
In a Daewoo Lanos, power steering fluid is typically added to the power steering reservoir, which is usually located near the engine, towards the front of the vehicle. The reservoir is often labeled and has a cap that can be unscrewed. Make sure to use the correct type of power steering fluid as specified in the owner's manual. Always check the fluid level and top it off if necessary, ensuring not to overfill.
