What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a X1?

If your X1 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 you clear the X1 check engine light on your own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your X1, but it's important to resist the urge.

Does my X1 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your X1 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your X1 forward.

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your X1's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2018 BMW X1, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following BMW's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
