How often should I come in for Jeep Compass differential service?

Can my Compass 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 Compass'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 Compass.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Compass?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Compass, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. 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 Compass?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Compass 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 Compass forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2019 Jeep Compass

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Compass's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Jeep, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Compass and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2019 Jeep Compass to maintain its performance power. Follow Jeep's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Jeep Compass Drivetrain Repairs
