How do I know if my Isuzu drivetrain is damaged?

How often should I come in for Isuzu Trooper 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.

Why is my Trooper malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

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

Can my Trooper malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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 Trooper'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 Trooper.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Trooper serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Trooper 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 Trooper transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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