When should I come in for Suzuki Kizashi differential service?

At a minimum, we 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 Kizashi’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Kizashi’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the Kizashi 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 Kizashi’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 worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Kizashi?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Kizashi 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.

Does my Kizashi drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Kizashi includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Kizashi forward.
