Can you reset your 300M’s malfunction warning light at home?

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

Does my 300M drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 300M’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 300M forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
