What causes a Van’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Van can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the Van 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 Van’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.

Does my Van transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Van 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 Van forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1987 Toyota Van

Your Van drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1987 Toyota Van, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Toyota's recommendations.

When to Get Toyota Van Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1987 Toyota Van drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Toyota Van may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Toyota Van doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 1987 Toyota Van drivetrain repair is expensive. Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
