When should I come in for Dodge Charger differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Why is my Charger malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

If your Charger 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.

Is it possible to reset the Charger 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 Charger'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 Charger.

Does my Charger drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Charger. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
