When should I come in for Lincoln LS differential service?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your LS’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the LS malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

All About 2002 Lincoln LS Drivetrain Service

It’s one of your LS’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2002 Lincoln LS, 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 Lincoln's recommendations.

Lincoln LS Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2002 Lincoln LS drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Lincoln could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Lincoln LS doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2002 Lincoln LS drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
