Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my C240?

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 C240's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your C240.

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

Does my C240 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your C240’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your C240 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
