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

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Fuego’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. 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.

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

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