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

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your MDX’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2010 Acura MDX

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your MDX's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Acura, from back to front. It’s one of your MDX’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2010 Acura MDX, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Acura's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
