Why is my Lumina malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

If your Lumina 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 clear the Lumina 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 Lumina’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 concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Lumina?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Lumina, 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.

Does my Lumina transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1994 Chevrolet Lumina

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Lumina's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Chevrolet, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Lumina’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1994 Chevrolet Lumina, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Chevrolet's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Chevrolet Lumina Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1994 Chevrolet Lumina drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Lumina might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Chevrolet Lumina drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1994 Chevrolet Lumina? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
