I was looking at the 2001 Mercury Sable Owner Guide and it mentions a
TRACTION CONTROL on / off switch located to the right of the instrument
cluster
my car has a code p1309 2001 mercury sable. What is the problem. thanks
If you mean the exclamation point and the " P " above the word " BRAKE " in the lower right side of the gauge cluster in a 1998 Mercury Sable that means either the parking brake / emergency brake is on , or the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder in your engine compartment is LOW
When the transaxle light is blinking on a 2001 Mercury Sable, it means there are some transmission issues that need to be addressed immediately. This condition may lead to locking of the transmission on second gear.
I have what looks like a battery light on my dashboard. What does this mean?
'P'arking or emergency brake
IT means that you need your car served and buy new headlight's if that doesn't work I'm afraid your car is done for. trust me I'm a car expert and dealt with this many times.
You are low on coolant.
On a 1995 Mercury Sable : The ENGINE cylinder locations are numbered : firewall 1-----2-----3 4-----5-----6 front of vehicle > driver ( If that is what you mean )
its below freezing temperature
most likely an oxygen sensor
Could be sucking air into intake.
Secondary Air Injection System Incorrect Flow.
