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

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Roadmaster can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the Roadmaster check engine light on your 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 Roadmaster's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1991 Buick Roadmaster

Your Roadmaster 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 Roadmaster’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1991 Buick Roadmaster to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Buick's recommendations.

When to Get Buick Roadmaster Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1991 Buick Roadmaster drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Roadmaster might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Buick Roadmaster doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 1991 Buick Roadmaster drivetrain repair is expensive. Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
