How does Honda drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

How do I know if my Honda drivetrain is damaged?

Your Honda CR-Z drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often will I need Honda CR-Z 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.

What causes a CR-Z’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

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

Can my CR-Z malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your CR-Z’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 worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my CR-Z?

A drivetrain malfunction in your CR-Z 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 CR-Z drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your CR-Z. 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.

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your CR-Z's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2012 Honda CR-Z, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Honda's recommendations.
