Can my Millenia malfunction warning light be reset at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Millenia, but it's important to resist the urge.

2001 Mazda Millenia Drivetrain Service

Your Millenia drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Millenia and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2001 Mazda Millenia, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mazda's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Mazda Millenia Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2001 Mazda Millenia drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Millenia might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.

Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2001 Mazda Millenia? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable.
