Can my Cooper 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 Cooper's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

If your Cooper 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.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Cooper?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Cooper’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Cooper forward.
