Can you clear the Avenger 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 Avenger'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 Avenger.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Avenger?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Avenger 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 Avenger drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Avenger 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.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2012 Dodge Avenger

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Avenger's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Avenger and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2012 Dodge Avenger, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Dodge's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Your Avenger might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
