Can Chevrolet drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

What are signs my Chevrolet drivetrain is damaged?

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

If your Uplander 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 Uplander check engine light on your own?

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 Uplander?

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my Uplander drivetrain include the transmission?

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