When should I come in for Honda Civic differential service?

A multitude of problems can activate your Civic’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the Civic check engine light on your own?

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.

Is my Civic’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Civic. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2009 Honda Civic

Your Civic’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Honda, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Civic’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2009 Honda Civic to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Honda's recommendations.
