We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my XC70?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your XC70 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the XC70 check engine light on your 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 XC70'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 XC70.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my XC70?

If your XC70 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 the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my XC70?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your XC70 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 XC70 forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2009 Volvo XC70

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your XC70's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Volvo, from back to front. 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 2009 Volvo XC70, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Volvo's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
