How often will I need Mercury Capri differential service?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Capri?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Capri’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the Capri check engine light on your 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.

If your Capri has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my Capri transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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