How often should I come in for Dodge Caravan differential service?

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

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

Does my Caravan drivetrain include the transmission?

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2003 Dodge Caravan

Your Caravan drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Dodge, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Caravan’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2003 Dodge Caravan to maintain its performance power. Follow Dodge's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Dodge Caravan Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2003 Dodge Caravan drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Dodge Caravan may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Dodge Caravan doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2003 Dodge Caravan drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
