What are signs my Acura drivetrain is damaged?

When should I come in for Acura RLX differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a RLX?

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

Can my RLX malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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 RLX's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your RLX.

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

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your RLX, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my RLX transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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