  • How often should I come in for Chevrolet Express 1500 differential service? We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.
  • What causes a Express 1500’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Express 1500’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Is it possible to reset the Express 1500 malfunction warning light on my 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.

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Express 1500, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.
  • Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Express 1500? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Express 1500’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Express 1500 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
