How often will I need Lexus ES300h differential service?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my ES300h?

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 ES300h's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Does my ES300h drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your ES300h 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 ES300h forward.
