Can Lexus service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are signs my Lexus drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Lexus SC400, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Lexus SC400 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 causes a SC400’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your SC400 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the SC400 check engine light on your 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.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my SC400 serious?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your SC400. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your SC400.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my SC400?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your SC400’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your SC400 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
