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

If your xA has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

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

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 xA's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your xA.

A drivetrain malfunction in your xA should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is my xA’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your xA. 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.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2004 Scion xA, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Scion's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
