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

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my SL1?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your SL1’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your SL1 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
