How do I know if my Lincoln drivetrain is damaged?

Your Lincoln MKS drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often will I need Lincoln MKS differential service?

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

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

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.

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

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 MKS's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your MKS.

If your MKS has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is my MKS’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your MKS 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 MKS forward.
