A multitude of problems can activate your FR-S’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can my FR-S malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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

If your FR-S has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my FR-S drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your FR-S is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
