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

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Cabrio’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the Cabrio malfunction warning light on my 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.

Does my Cabrio drivetrain include the transmission?
