Can you clear the RX400h check engine light on your own?

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 RX400h's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Is my RX400h’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your RX400h’s drivetrain.

Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
