What are signs my Cadillac drivetrain is damaged?

How often will I need Cadillac Escalade differential service?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Escalade?

A multitude of problems can activate your Escalade’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you reset your Escalade’s malfunction warning light at home?

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 drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Escalade forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
