When should I come in for Mitsubishi Mirage differential service?

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

Is it possible to reset the Mirage 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 Mirage's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

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

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