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

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Maxima can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the Maxima check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Does my Maxima transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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