There are a number of reasons why your check engine light will turn on, so it is important to bring your vehicle in to get a diagnostic test right away. Here are just a few common reasons:
Transmission gears are responsible for the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels and regulating your speed. The transmission fluid cools and lubricates these gears. Over time, transmission fluid breaks down and loses its lubricating ability. Replacing your transmission fluid according to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation can keep your transmission gears and torque converter well-lubricated and in good working condition. This can help prevent costly repairs or breakdowns and more importantly prolong the life of your vehicle’s transmission. As part of your routine maintenance you should have your transmission fluid checked at every oil change. And if you drive in extreme conditions, you may need to have your transmission fluid changed more often.
Your vehicle’s engine needs to be hydrated while running, especially in extreme weather. In order for your engine to maintain the desired operating temperature the cooling system needs to redistribute heat away from the engine. This is accomplished by circulating coolant from the engine and through the radiator. Over time your antifreeze/coolant will start to break down from everyday usage and will stop protecting your cooling system properly. This could cause:
Your vehicle may have one or more belts to help it run properly. In time and along with improper tension on the belts or worn tensioner/pulleys your belts can become worn and fail, leaving you stranded. This is why it is important to have your belts inspected every time you have your vehicle maintained. If your belts are showing any of these signs, chances are they need to be replaced.
Your power steering system helps you turn your steering wheel with minimal effort. This system and its components need proper lubrication or power steering fluid to prevent friction and wear while helping to provide ultimate control. Over time, your power steering fluid gets contaminated with impurities that can cause premature wear and damage to your power steering system components. Exchanging old power steering fluid with new, high-quality synthetic power steering fluid helps replenish and protect the components of your steering system.
Your vehicle’s steering and suspension system consists of many different components, including your shocks and struts, which play a role to keep your ride smooth and safe as well as:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, your shocks or struts may need to be replaced:
