Active stability control
[ASC] warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the Active Stability Control [ASC] warning light illuminates briefly as part of the system check and then turns off.
The light flashes while the ASC or traction control system is actively working to help maintain vehicle stability and wheel traction. This indicates that the Mitsubishi Outlander is approaching the available grip limit and that the road surface may be slippery.
If the ASC warning light remains illuminated while the system is switched on, the ASC may have entered a fail-safe operating mode because a malfunction has been detected. In this condition, some stability or traction control functions may be limited or unavailable. Have the system inspected as soon as possible. Mitsubishi Motors recommends visiting an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for this service. If a fault occurs, the ASC function may be canceled, although the vehicle can still be driven with appropriate caution.

If the light comes on while the FCM system is selected ON, the system may be temporarily unavailable or unable to operate under the current conditions.
Electric power steering
warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the electric power steering warning light illuminates. After the engine starts, the light turns off if the electric power steering system is operating normally.
If the warning light illuminates while the engine is running, the electric power steering system may have developed a malfunction and may require service.
Have the steering system checked. Mitsubishi Motors recommends visiting an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for this service.
If the electric power steering warning light remains on with the engine running, steering assistance may stop operating. The driver will still be able to steer and control the Mitsubishi Outlander, but considerably more effort may be required.
In this condition, the steering wheel will be especially difficult to turn during low-speed maneuvers, parking and sharp cornering.
Electric parking brake
warning light (yellow)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the yellow electric parking brake warning light illuminates briefly as part of the system check and then turns off.
This warning light monitors the Mitsubishi Outlander electric parking brake system and may illuminate if the system detects a malfunction or an operating condition that requires attention.
If the yellow electric parking brake warning light illuminates, the electric parking brake system may not be operating correctly. Have the brake system inspected and repaired if necessary. Mitsubishi Motors recommends taking the Mitsubishi Outlander to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for diagnosis and service.
Hill Descent Control system
ON indicator light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the Hill Descent Control system ON indicator light illuminates briefly and then turns off. This startup sequence indicates that the system has completed its initial check and is ready for operation.
The indicator light remains illuminated when Hill Descent Control is activated and operating.
If Hill Descent Control has been switched on but the indicator light is flashing, the system is selected but is not currently engaged.
If the indicator light neither illuminates nor flashes when Hill Descent Control is turned on, the system may not be functioning correctly. Have the Mitsubishi Outlander inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Low tire pressure warning
light
The Mitsubishi Outlander is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System [TPMS] that monitors the inflation pressure of all four tires.
The low tire pressure warning light alerts the driver when one or more tires may be underinflated. The same light is also used to indicate a malfunction in the TPMS.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the warning light illuminates for approximately 1 second and then turns off as part of the normal system check.
Low tire pressure warning
If the Mitsubishi Outlander is driven with one or more tires at low pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
The message "Tire Pressure Low - Add Air" will also appear in the multi-information display.
When the low tire pressure warning light comes on, stop the vehicle in a safe location and adjust all tire pressures to the recommended COLD values shown on the Tire and Loading Information placard. The warning light may not turn off immediately after the tires are inflated. Once the correct pressure has been restored, the vehicle must be driven at more than 16 MPH (25 km/h) so the TPMS can detect the updated pressure and clear the warning.
Use an accurate tire pressure gauge to check the pressure in each tire rather than relying only on visual inspection.
The "Tire Pressure Low - Add Air" message remains active for as long as the low tire pressure warning light stays illuminated.
TPMS malfunction
If the TPMS develops a malfunction, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute after the ignition switch is placed in the ON position. It will then remain steadily illuminated. Have the system inspected. Mitsubishi Motors recommends visiting an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for this service. When the light is indicating a TPMS malfunction, the "Tire Pressure Low - Add Air" message may not appear.
WARNING
- If the low tire pressure warning light does not illuminate when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, have the vehicle inspected immediately. Mitsubishi Motors recommends visiting an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for this service.
- If the warning light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering inputs and hard braking. Reduce speed gradually, move off the road to a safe location and stop the Mitsubishi Outlander as soon as possible. Driving with underinflated tires can cause permanent tire damage, increase the risk of tire failure and lead to loss of vehicle control, a collision, serious injury or vehicle damage.
Check the inflation pressure of all four tires.
Adjust each tire to the recommended COLD pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information placard. If the warning light remains illuminated while driving after the pressures have been corrected, one of the tires may be flat or the TPMS may be malfunctioning.
If a tire is flat, use the tire repair kit as instructed. If none of the tires is flat and all four are inflated correctly, consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
- If a wheel without a compatible TPMS sensor is installed, the monitoring system will not operate correctly. The low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute and then remain illuminated. Mitsubishi Motors recommends consulting an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
- Installing tires that do not meet the specifications provided by Mitsubishi Motors may interfere with proper TPMS operation.
- The TPMS does not replace routine manual tire pressure checks. Inspect tire pressure regularly with an accurate gauge, including when no warning is displayed.
- At vehicle speeds below 16 MPH (25 km/h), the TPMS may not update or operate as expected.
- Install the specified tire size correctly on all four wheels to support proper handling and reliable TPMS operation.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the Malfunction Indicator Light remains steadily illuminated or begins flashing while the engine is running, the Mitsubishi Outlander may have detected a potential fault in the emission control system and/or the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
The Malfunction Indicator Light may also illuminate steadily if the vehicle has run out of fuel.
Confirm that the fuel tank contains at least 3 US gallons (11.4 liters) of fuel.
If no other emission control system fault is present, the
warning light should turn off after several driving trips.
If the indicator remains on for 20 seconds and then flashes for 10 seconds while the engine is not running, the Mitsubishi Outlander is not ready for an emission control system inspection and maintenance test.
Operation
The Malfunction Indicator Light can operate in either of the following ways:
- Malfunction Indicator Light illuminated steadily - The system has detected a possible emission control and/or CVT malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected. Mitsubishi Motors recommends visiting an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for this service. Towing is not normally required solely because the light remains steadily illuminated.
- Malfunction Indicator Light flashing - The engine control system has detected a misfire that could damage the emission control system.
To reduce the risk of emission control system damage:
1. Do not drive faster than 45 MPH (72 km/h).2. Avoid rapid acceleration, hard braking and sudden changes in engine load.
3. Avoid driving on steep uphill grades whenever possible.
4. If practical, reduce the amount of cargo being carried or the load being towed.
The Malfunction Indicator Light may stop flashing and remain steadily illuminated after the immediate misfire condition changes.
Have the Mitsubishi Outlander inspected as soon as practical. Mitsubishi Motors recommends visiting an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for diagnosis and service. The vehicle does not normally need to be towed solely because the light has changed from flashing to steady illumination.
CAUTION
- Continuing to drive without having the emission control system and/or CVT inspected and repaired as necessary may result in poor engine or transmission performance, reduced fuel economy and possible damage to emission-related components.
Master warning light
(yellow)
