Can Toyota drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

How do I know if my Toyota drivetrain is damaged?

Your Toyota Venza drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

When should I come in for Toyota Venza differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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 Venza’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your Venza has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can my Venza malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Venza’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 concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Venza?

If your Venza 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.

Does my Venza transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2009 Toyota Venza

Your Venza drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Toyota, from back to front. It’s one of your Venza’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Toyota Venza, 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.

Toyota Venza 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 take care of most 2009 Toyota Venza drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Toyota Venza may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Toyota Venza.

How much does it cost to fix your 2009 Toyota Venza drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
