Can Suzuki drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Suzuki drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Suzuki XL-7? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Suzuki XL-7 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a XL-7?

A multitude of problems can activate your XL-7’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the XL-7 malfunction warning light on my 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.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my XL-7 serious?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your XL-7, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my XL-7 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your XL-7’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your XL-7 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Suzuki XL-7, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Suzuki's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
