Can you clear the Escalade ESV check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

2009 Cadillac Escalade ESV Drivetrain Service

Your Escalade ESV 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 the most complex systems in your Escalade ESV and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2009 Cadillac Escalade ESV 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.

When to Get Cadillac Escalade ESV Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2009 Cadillac Escalade ESV drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Escalade ESV 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 pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Cadillac Escalade ESV doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2009 Cadillac Escalade ESV? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
