What causes a CX-9’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

Is my CX-9’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your CX-9 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 CX-9 forward.
