What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Quest?

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

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

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Quest’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Quest serious?

Is my Quest’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Quest is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1996 Nissan Quest

Your Quest drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Nissan, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Quest and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 1996 Nissan Quest to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Nissan's recommendations.

When to Get Nissan Quest 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 fix many 1996 Nissan Quest drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Quest might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Nissan Quest.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1996 Nissan Quest? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
