What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 240D?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your 240D can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the 240D check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your 240D’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my 240D?

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1983 Mercedes-Benz 240D

Your 240D drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your 240D and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you tune into you 1983 Mercedes-Benz 240D drivetrain, you help maintain your vehicle’s overall power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz 240D Drivetrain Repairs

Your 240D might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.
