Can Pontiac drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

How do I know if my Pontiac drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Pontiac LeMans, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Pontiac LeMans 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.

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

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your LeMans can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

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

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

A drivetrain malfunction in your LeMans should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my LeMans?

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

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your LeMans's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your LeMans’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1990 Pontiac LeMans, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Pontiac's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
