How does Scion drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Scion drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Scion iQ? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Scion iQ 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 iQ?

A multitude of problems can activate your iQ’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can my iQ 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 iQ’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 worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my iQ?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your iQ. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your iQ.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my iQ?

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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2015 Scion iQ

Your iQ’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Scion, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your iQ’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2015 Scion iQ, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Scion's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Scion iQ Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2015 Scion iQ drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your iQ might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Scion iQ doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2015 Scion iQ? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
