When should I come in for Jeep Grand Wagoneer differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

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

Can my Grand Wagoneer malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Grand Wagoneer’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.

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.

Is my Grand Wagoneer’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Grand Wagoneer 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 Grand Wagoneer forward.
