Can my LS460 malfunction warning light be reset 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 LS460's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my LS460 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your LS460 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 LS460 forward.
