What are the symptoms of a damaged Mercedes-Benz drivetrain system?

What causes a 400E’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

A multitude of problems can activate your 400E’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the 400E malfunction warning light on my own?

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.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my 400E?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your 400E. 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 400E.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my 400E?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 400E’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 400E forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
