Can Jeep drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Noises toward the back of your Jeep Cherokee, 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 should I come in for Jeep Cherokee 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 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.

Is it possible to reset the Cherokee 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 Cherokee’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.

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

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

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

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Cherokee 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 Cherokee forward.
