How often should I come in for Ford Aerostar differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we 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 Aerostar?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Aerostar’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the Aerostar malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Aerostar’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.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Aerostar serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Aerostar should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is my Aerostar’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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