How often will I need Suzuki Samurai differential service?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Samurai?

A multitude of problems can activate your Samurai’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 Samurai check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my Samurai transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1993 Suzuki Samurai, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Suzuki's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
