How often should I come in for Chevrolet Equinox differential service?

Can my Equinox malfunction warning light be reset at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

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.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Equinox?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Equinox includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Equinox forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2013 Chevrolet Equinox

Your Equinox’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Chevrolet, from the axles to the transmission.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2013 Chevrolet Equinox, 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 Chevrolet's recommendations.
