Can Cadillac service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Cadillac drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Cadillac DeVille, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Cadillac DeVille 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 causes a DeVille’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

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

Is it possible to reset the DeVille 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 DeVille'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 DeVille.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my DeVille serious?

If your DeVille has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is my DeVille’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your DeVille includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your DeVille forward.

Care for your 1997 Cadillac DeVille to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Cadillac's recommendations.
