What are signs my Nissan drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Nissan Pathfinder? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Nissan Pathfinder 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.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Pathfinder?

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

Can my Pathfinder 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 Pathfinder'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 Pathfinder.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Pathfinder serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Pathfinder 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.

Does my Pathfinder transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Pathfinder 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 Pathfinder forward.

Your Pathfinder drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Nissan, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Pathfinder and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Nissan's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
