Can you clear the XC90 check engine light on your own?

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

Is my XC90’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your XC90 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your XC90 forward.
