What causes a CLS400’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Is it possible to reset the CLS400 malfunction warning light on my 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 CLS400'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 CLS400.

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your CLS400 is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
