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

If your Montana 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 my Montana malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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 Montana 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.

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Montana’s drivetrain.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2000 Pontiac Montana

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Montana's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Pontiac, from back to front.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2000 Pontiac Montana, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Pontiac's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
