Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my 440i?

If your 440i has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can my 440i malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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

It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Does my 440i transmission belong to the drivetrain system?
