What are signs my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged?

How often will I need Mercedes-Benz ML320 differential service?

What causes a ML320’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Is it possible to reset the ML320 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 ML320's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Does my ML320 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?
