How do I know if my Mitsubishi drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Mitsubishi Montero Sport? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Mitsubishi Montero Sport differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Montero Sport?

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

Can you clear the Montero Sport check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Montero Sport’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
