Can you clear the Regency check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Regency’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.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Regency?

If your Regency has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my Regency transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1997 Oldsmobile Regency, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Oldsmobile's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
