How often should I come in for Jaguar XJS differential service?

Can you reset your XJS’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 XJS's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your XJS. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your XJS.

Does my XJS drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your XJS is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

When you tune into you 1983 Jaguar XJS 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 Jaguar's recommendations.
