How often should I come in for Cadillac XTS differential service?

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

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

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

Can you clear the XTS check engine light on your own?

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

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my XTS?

A drivetrain malfunction in your XTS should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is my XTS’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your XTS. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
