Why is my LS400 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Is it possible to reset the LS400 malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your LS400’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1992 Lexus LS400

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your LS400's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Lexus, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your LS400’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1992 Lexus LS400, 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 Lexus's recommendations.
