How often will I need Lincoln MKS differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a MKS?

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

Can you reset your MKS’s malfunction warning light at home?

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.

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

Does my MKS transmission belong to the drivetrain system?
