How does Ford drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if my Ford drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Ford Crown Victoria? 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.

What causes a Crown Victoria’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

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

Can you clear the Crown Victoria check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Crown Victoria?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Crown Victoria. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2006 Ford Crown Victoria

Your Crown Victoria drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Ford, from back to front.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2006 Ford Crown Victoria, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Ford's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
