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

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

Is my Hombre’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Hombre 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 Hombre forward.
