How does Chevrolet drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Chevrolet drivetrain is damaged?

Your Chevrolet Trax drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

When should I come in for Chevrolet Trax differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

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

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Trax can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you reset your Trax’s malfunction warning light at home?

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.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Trax?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Trax 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.

Is my Trax’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2016 Chevrolet Trax

Your Trax drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Chevrolet, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Trax and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2016 Chevrolet Trax, 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.
