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

What causes a SL43 AMG’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your SL43 AMG can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can my SL43 AMG malfunction warning light be reset at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

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 serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my SL43 AMG?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your SL43 AMG. 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 SL43 AMG.

Is my SL43 AMG’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your SL43 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 SL43 AMG forward.
