How often will I need Suzuki Grand Vitara differential service?

Can you clear the Grand Vitara 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 Grand Vitara’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 concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Grand Vitara?
