Can Honda service save me money?

What are signs my Honda drivetrain is damaged?

When should I come in for Honda Accord differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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 the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Accord?

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

Can you reset your Accord’s malfunction warning light at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Accord’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 Accord?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Accord should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my Accord drivetrain include the transmission?

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