While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

Is my Town & Country’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Town & Country is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
