Is it possible to reset the XC90 malfunction warning light on my own?

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 XC90's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Does my XC90 drivetrain include the transmission?
