Can Honda service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Honda drivetrain is damaged?

How often will I need Honda Ridgeline differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we 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 Ridgeline?

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

Can you clear the Ridgeline check engine light on your 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 Ridgeline'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 Ridgeline.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Ridgeline?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Ridgeline 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.

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

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Ridgeline. 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 2007 Honda Ridgeline

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Ridgeline's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Honda, from back to front. It’s one of your Ridgeline’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2007 Honda Ridgeline to maintain its performance power. Follow Honda's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
