How often will I need Chevrolet Sprint differential service?

What causes a Sprint’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Sprint’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the Sprint check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Sprint's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Sprint.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Sprint?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Sprint 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 Sprint transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Sprint is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
