How do I know if my Mitsubishi drivetrain is damaged?

How often will I need Mitsubishi Outlander differential service?

At a minimum, we 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.

A multitude of problems can activate your Outlander’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you reset your Outlander’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

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.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Outlander?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Outlander should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is my Outlander’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Outlander. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

Follow Mitsubishi's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
