Can Mazda service save me money?

What are signs my Mazda drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mazda CX-9, 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 Mazda CX-9 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 CX-9’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your CX-9’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my CX-9 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 CX-9'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 CX-9.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my CX-9?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your CX-9. 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 CX-9.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my CX-9?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your CX-9’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your CX-9 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
