ACD problems

Just got my car less then a week ago and had time on friday to read through the owners manual. Anyway its an 05 evo VIII and before I start the car I set the ACD switch to the road conditions, obviously. After I selected the mode, I start the car and after five minutes or so of driving all three lights come on and stay on, Tarmac, Gravel, and Snow. The owners manual states this could be a problem cause its supposed to stay just on the one u selected. Guess I have to bring it in to the dealer tommorow or so but was just wondering if anyones had this problem???

acd lights

You have to bleed the system if that doesnt work you will need a new acd pump.

It should stay on gravel once you set it you shouldnt have to change it but it may be low on fluid as well gl
