How does Chevrolet drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Chevrolet drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Chevrolet Equinox? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Chevrolet Equinox 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.

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

If your Equinox 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 Equinox’s malfunction warning light at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Equinox, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your Equinox to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

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

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Equinox. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Equinox.

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

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