A light has popped up on my dash that says service drive train. What does this mean? Is it something major, or an easy fix?

The reason I forwarded this is to illustrate there is no service drive train message. Scroll through the list and pick the warning message that is being displayed, or ultimately, you will need a diagnostic scan tool connected to the vehicle, and fault codes read. That will provide some direction to assist you in.
