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

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

Can you clear the Monterey 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 Monterey'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 Monterey.

Does my Monterey transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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

All About 2006 Mercury Monterey Drivetrain Service

Your Monterey’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercury, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2006 Mercury Monterey to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercury's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Mercury Monterey Drivetrain Repairs

Your Mercury could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2006 Mercury Monterey drivetrain repair is expensive. Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
