How often should I come in for Infiniti FX50 differential service?

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a FX50?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your FX50’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the FX50 malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your FX50’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.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my FX50?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your FX50 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your FX50 forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2011 Infiniti FX50

Your FX50 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Infiniti, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your FX50’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2011 Infiniti FX50, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Infiniti's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Infiniti FX50 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2011 Infiniti FX50 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Infiniti could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.

One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Infiniti FX50.

How much does it cost to fix your 2011 Infiniti FX50 drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
