Can Toyota drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

How do I know if my Toyota drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Toyota Yaris iA, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Toyota Yaris iA 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 triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Yaris iA?

A multitude of problems can activate your Yaris iA’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 Yaris iA malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Yaris iA's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Yaris iA.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Yaris iA serious?

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

Does my Yaris iA transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Yaris iA is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2017 Toyota Yaris iA

Your Yaris iA’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Toyota, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2017 Toyota Yaris iA, 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.
