Can Plymouth service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if my Plymouth drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Plymouth Caravelle? 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.

How often will I need Plymouth Caravelle 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 my Caravelle malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

If your Caravelle has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you reset your Caravelle’s malfunction warning light 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 Caravelle'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 Caravelle.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Caravelle serious?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Caravelle, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my Caravelle transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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