How does Honda drivetrain maintenance help save money?

When should I come in for Honda Civic 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.

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Civic’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

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

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Civic?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Civic 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 Civic transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Civic is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
