When should I come in for Dodge Omni differential service?

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

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Omni?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Omni can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the Omni malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Omni’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Omni?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Omni, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my Omni drivetrain include the transmission?

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