The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Discovery can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you reset your Discovery’s malfunction warning light 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 Discovery's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Discovery?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Discovery’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Discovery forward.
