When should I come in for GMC Yukon differential service?

Is it possible to reset the Yukon 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 Yukon'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 Yukon.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Yukon?

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