Can Honda service save me money?

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

What are signs my Honda drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Honda S2000, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Honda S2000 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 triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a S2000?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your S2000’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the S2000 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 a drivetrain malfunction in my S2000 serious?

Is my S2000’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your S2000’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your S2000 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
