How does Mercury drivetrain maintenance help save money?

What are signs my Mercury drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mercury Mariner, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Mercury Mariner differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is my Mariner malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

If your Mariner has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the Mariner 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.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Mariner?

If your Mariner 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 Mariner drivetrain include the transmission?

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