What causes a S40’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Can you reset your S40’s malfunction warning light at home?

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

Does my S40 drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your S40 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.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2007 Volvo S40, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Volvo's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
