While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

Does my Outlander drivetrain include the transmission?

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 2012 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: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Mitsubishi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
