Vehicle

Mercury Mariner

A Ford Escape, and the same vehicle as the Mazda Tribute — three badges on one compact SUV, with the Escape carrying almost all of the written diagnosis. The hybrid arrived here before most manufacturers had one at all, and its nickel-metal-hydride pack and electric transaxle are now old enough that battery-block and state-of-charge codes are the common reason one of these is scanned.

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
