How often will I need Mercury Tracer differential service?

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

If your Tracer 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.

Is it possible to reset the Tracer malfunction warning light on my 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.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Tracer serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Tracer should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my Tracer transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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