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

If your Insight 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 Insight check engine light on your own?

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 Insight's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Insight.

Does my Insight drivetrain include the transmission?

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