How often should I come in for Ford Five Hundred 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 causes a Five Hundred’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your Five Hundred has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the Five Hundred check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Five Hundred's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Five Hundred.

A drivetrain malfunction in your Five Hundred 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 Five Hundred’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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