Can my Mountaineer malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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 Mountaineer'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 Mountaineer.

The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Mountaineer forward.
