Why is my Venza malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

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

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

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Venza?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Venza. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Venza.

Is my Venza’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2012 Toyota Venza

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Venza's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Toyota, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2012 Toyota Venza to maintain its performance power. Follow Toyota's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
