Is it possible to reset the Outlander malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

Does my Outlander transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Outlander includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Outlander forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Outlander's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Mitsubishi, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Outlander’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Mitsubishi's recommendations.

Mitsubishi Outlander Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Outlander might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Mitsubishi Outlander.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends!
