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 911's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my 911?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your 911. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
