When should I come in for Dodge B150 differential service?

What causes a B150’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Is it possible to reset the B150 malfunction warning light on my 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.

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.

Does my B150 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your B150 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 B150 forward.
