Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my B3000?

Is it possible to reset the B3000 malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

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.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my B3000?

If your B3000 has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.
