How often will I need Ford Mustang differential service?

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

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

Can you clear the Mustang 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 concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Mustang?

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my Mustang transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1999 Ford Mustang

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Mustang's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Ford, from back to front.

When you tune into you 1999 Ford Mustang drivetrain, you help maintain your vehicle’s overall power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Ford's recommendations.
