When should I come in for Chevrolet Traverse differential service?

A multitude of problems can activate your Traverse’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the Traverse 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 Traverse's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

If your Traverse has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is my Traverse’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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