Can my Journey malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Journey's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Does my Journey drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Journey 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.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2019 Dodge Journey, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Dodge's recommendations.
