How often should I come in for Toyota Sequoia differential service?

Can my Sequoia malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

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.

If your Sequoia has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is my Sequoia’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

2009 Toyota Sequoia Drivetrain Service

Your Sequoia drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Sequoia and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2009 Toyota Sequoia to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Toyota's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Toyota Sequoia Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2009 Toyota Sequoia drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Toyota Sequoia may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Toyota Sequoia doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2009 Toyota Sequoia? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
