Can Saab drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

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

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my 9-5?

If your 9-5 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 my 9-5 malfunction warning light be reset 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 9-5's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Does my 9-5 drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your 9-5 is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
