How does Cadillac drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if my Cadillac drivetrain is damaged?

Your Cadillac XTS drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

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?

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.

How serious is 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.

Does my XTS drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your XTS’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your XTS forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
