Ever see a strange dashboard light pop up on your Mitsubishi and wonder what it meant? Here is a comprehensive guide to the different symbols and meanings!
Mitsubishi Brake Warning Light
If your Mitsubishi's brake warning light is on, it means that there is a problem with the braking system. It could be a problem with the brake pads, the brake fluid, or the ABS system. You should have the car checked by a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.
Mitsubishi MIL(Malfunction Indicator Light) Warning Light
Mitsubishi's MIL warning light is a tell-tale that something is wrong with your vehicle. It could indicate a serious problem that needs to be addressed immediately, or it could be a minor issue that can be fixed at your leisure. Regardless, it's important to know what the MIL light means so you can take the appropriate action.
Here's a quick guide to Mitsubishi's MIL warning light and what it may mean:
Amber/yellow MIL: This indicates a potential problem that should be checked by a Mitsubishi technician as soon as possible.
Red MIL: A red MIL indicates a more serious problem that needs to be addressed immediately. If you see a red MIL, pull over and turn off your engine. Do not continue to drive until the problem has been diagnosed and repaired by a professional.
Blinking MIL: A blinking MIL indicates an engine misfire. If this happens, pull over and turn off your engine. Do not continue to drive until the problem has been diagnosed and repaired by a professional.
Mitsubishi Engine Coolant Temperature Light
If the engine coolant temperature light on your Mitsubishi dash is illuminated, it means that the engine is running too hot. This could be due to a number of factors, such as a low coolant level, a radiator fan that's not working properly, or a thermostat that's stuck closed. Whatever the cause, it's important to have it checked out by a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid any serious damage to your engine.
Mitsubishi EBD Warning Light
If you see the Mitsubishi EBD warning light on your dashboard, it means that your vehicle's electronic braking system is not functioning properly. This could lead to reduced braking performance and increased stopping distances, so it's important to have this checked out by a professional as soon as possible. In the meantime, take care when driving and be sure to give yourself extra time and space to stop.
Mitsubishi Oil Temperature Warning Light
If you see the oil temperature warning light on your Mitsubishi's dashboard, it means that the engine oil is too hot. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as driving at high speeds for an extended period of time, or towing a heavy load.
If you see this warning light, pull over as soon as possible and turn off the engine. Let the engine cool down before checking the oil level and adding more oil if necessary. If the warning light comes on again after you've added more oil, or if the oil level is low, contact a Mitsubishi service center for further diagnosis.
Mitsubishi Automatic Transaxle (AT) Warning Light
If the Mitsubishi Automatic Transaxle (AT) Warning Light comes on while you're driving, it means that there's a problem with your transmission. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Pull over and call a tow truck or have the car towed to a nearby service station. Do not attempt to drive the car any further as this could cause irreversible damage to the transmission.
Mitsubishi ABS Warning Light
Mitsubishi's anti-lock braking system (ABS) uses a warning light on the dashboard to alert the driver when there is a problem. The light will come on when the ignition is first turned on, and should go out after a few seconds. If it stays on, or comes on while driving, it indicates that there is a problem with the ABS.
If the ABS warning light comes on, it's important to take action immediately. First, check the vehicle's manual to see if there are any troubleshooting steps you can take. If not, or if the problem persists, take the vehicle to a Mitsubishi dealer or qualified repair shop as soon as possible. Driving without ABS can be dangerous, so it's important to get the problem fixed as soon as possible.
Mitsubishi VSA/ESC Warning Light
If the VSA/ESC warning light comes on, it means that your vehicle's stability control system is not working properly. This can be a serious problem, so you should take your vehicle to a Mitsubishi dealer or licensed repair shop as soon as possible.
