Why is my Regal malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

If your Regal has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can my Regal malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Regal?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Regal. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Regal.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Regal?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Regal’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Regal forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 2016 Buick Regal Drivetrain Service

Your Regal drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Regal’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2016 Buick Regal, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Buick's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Buick Regal Drivetrain Repairs

Your Buick could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
