Can you clear the Tahoe 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 Tahoe’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.

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

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Tahoe 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 Tahoe forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Tahoe's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Tahoe’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 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.
