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

If your BRZ 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 reset your BRZ’s malfunction warning light at home?

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

A drivetrain malfunction in your BRZ 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.

Does my BRZ drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your BRZ 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.
