How often will I need Ford Fusion differential service?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Fusion?

If your Fusion 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 Fusion 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.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Fusion?

If your Fusion has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is my Fusion’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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