How does Jeep drivetrain maintenance help save money?

When 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.

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

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Cherokee can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the Cherokee malfunction warning light on my 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.

Does my Cherokee drivetrain include the transmission?

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2014 Jeep Cherokee

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Cherokee's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Jeep, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Cherokee and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2014 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.

When to Get Jeep Cherokee Drivetrain Repairs
