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

Why is my Escort malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

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

Is it possible to reset the Escort malfunction warning light on my 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.

Does my Escort transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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

Care for your 1992 Ford Escort to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Ford's recommendations.
