What causes a 430i xDrive’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Is it possible to reset the 430i xDrive malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your 430i xDrive’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.
