How often should I come in for Pontiac G6 differential service?

What causes a G6’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your G6 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 clear the G6 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 G6’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 serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my G6?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your G6. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your G6.

Does my G6 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your G6’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your G6 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
