How often should I come in for Pontiac 6000 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is my 6000 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 6000’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the 6000 malfunction warning light on my own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

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 the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my 6000?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 6000’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 6000 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
