To change the spark plugs on a 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove the engine cover if necessary, then carefully pull off the ignition coil connectors and unscrew the coils to access the spark plugs.

The light could come on if you needed a tune up. Cars have sensors that will make the light come on for many different reasons, such as a misfire because the plugs or wires need replacing. It is best to check the code that caused the light to come on.
