Can Jeep drivetrain maintenance help me save 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.

How do I know if my Jeep drivetrain is damaged?

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

How often should I come in for Jeep Cherokee 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.

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

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

Can you reset your Cherokee’s malfunction warning light 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 Cherokee'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 Cherokee.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Cherokee?

If your Cherokee has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is my Cherokee’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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

Your Cherokee’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the 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: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1990 Jeep Cherokee, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Jeep's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
