What causes a A6 Quattro’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your A6 Quattro can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the A6 Quattro malfunction warning light on my own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your A6 Quattro’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your A6 Quattro forward.
