When should I come in for Saturn LW200 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 LW200 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

A multitude of problems can activate your LW200’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the LW200 check engine light on your own?

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 LW200'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 LW200.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my LW200 serious?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your LW200. 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 LW200.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my LW200?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your LW200’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your LW200 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
