Differential service frequency varies from car to car.
  • Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Sable? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Sable’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Can you clear the Sable check engine light on your own? Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.
