When should I come in for Cadillac CTS differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

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

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

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

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.

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