What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2021 Fiat 500X

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 500X's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Fiat, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2021 Fiat 500X, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Fiat's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

  • Can Fiat service save me money? Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.
  • What are the symptoms of a damaged Fiat drivetrain system? Your Fiat 500X drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.
  • When should I come in for Fiat 500X differential service? Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.
  • Why is my 500X malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 500X’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Can you clear the 500X check engine light on your own? It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your 500X, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your 500X to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.
  • How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my 500X? If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your 500X, 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 500X transmission belong to the drivetrain system? Yes, the drivetrain system in your 500X 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 500X forward.
