P0000 is a rare OBD2 fault code that can affect the Mercury Montego. While there are over 10,000 DTC “P” codes, this is the only one reserved for “no fault detected” in your car’s ECU (engine control unit) memory. It tells the scanner accessing the ECU that no codes are …

If your Mercury Montego has a humming noise at high speed, it can be distracting and, depending on the cause, dangerous. We’ve outlined the most common reasons why a humming noise in your car gets louder with speed. We’ve also provided an audio sample of each issue to help determine …

P0073 is a common OBD2 trouble code that can affect the Mercury Montego. OBD2 trouble codes. In layman’s terms, it indicates that there is an issue with your car’s ambient air sensor. The ambient air temperature sensor (or AAT for short) is responsible for monitoring outside air temperature and regulating …

P0026 is a code that signals an issue with your Mercury Montego’s intake valve control solenoid circuit. In layman’s terms, the circuit is not complying with the Powertrain Control Module’s commands. It sent a signal to the intake valve control solenoid, and it, for whatever reason, failed. P0026 is a …

P0152 is a common OBDII code that occurs in many vehicles, including the Mercury Montego. It indicates that the bank 2 sensor 1 O2 sensor is reporting a voltage level that is higher than its normal operating range. P0152 Definition: O2 Sensor – High Voltage – B2S1 O2 Sensor Oxygen sensors …

P0501 is an OBD2 trouble code that indicates there is an issue with your Mercury Montego’s Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). It occurs when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) gets a signal from the VSS outside its normal operating range (in terms of voltage). P0501 is a generic powertrain code, which …

P0725 is a common OBD2 code that can occur in the Mercury Montego. It indicates an issue with the engine speed sensor input circuit (which measures the engine speed at the input shaft and helps the PCM determine when and how hard to shift the transmission). It’s a generic code, …

P0523 is a standard OBD2 trouble code that can occur in the Mercury Montego. In layman’s terms, it indicates the signal from the oil pressure sensor is higher than its normal operating range (in terms of voltage). P0523 is generic (it has the same definition for all vehicles), repair steps …

P0705 is a very common transmission-related trouble code that can occur in the Mercury Montego. In layman’s terms, it means that your Montego can’t tell what gear you’ve selected, which can have some real consequences on how it drives. It’s most likely caused by a bad Transmission Range Sensor (TRS), …

Daytime running lights (or DRL) are specialized lights that come on when your Mercury Montego’s regular headlights are turned off. Their purpose is to make it easier for other drivers to see you, theoretically decreasing the odds of getting into an accident. If your Montego’s DRL warning light is on, …
