How often will I need Jaguar S-Type differential service?

Can you reset your S-Type’s malfunction warning light at home?

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 S-Type's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Does my S-Type drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your S-Type includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your S-Type forward.

Your S-Type drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Jaguar, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2006 Jaguar S-Type, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Jaguar's recommendations.
