When should I come in for Cadillac Eldorado differential service?

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

What causes a Eldorado’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

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

Can you clear the Eldorado 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 Eldorado'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 Eldorado.

Does my Eldorado drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Eldorado 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 Eldorado forward.
