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

How often will I need Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 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 S63 AMG?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your S63 AMG can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the S63 AMG check engine light on your 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 S63 AMG'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 S63 AMG.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my S63 AMG serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your S63 AMG should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my S63 AMG?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your S63 AMG 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 S63 AMG forward.
