How often will I need Plymouth Acclaim differential service?

Why is my Acclaim malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

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

Is it possible to reset the Acclaim malfunction warning light on my own?

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.

Is my Acclaim’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Acclaim 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 Acclaim forward.
