How often will I need Cadillac XT6 differential service?

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a XT6?

If your XT6 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you reset your XT6’s malfunction warning light at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your XT6’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

All About 2021 Cadillac XT6 Drivetrain Service

Your XT6 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Cadillac, from back to front.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2021 Cadillac XT6, you help maintain your vehicle's 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 XT6 Drivetrain Repairs

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2021 Cadillac XT6 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Cadillac could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
