Hey Guys
Well I have had some very bad luck lately with my car 2010 is not very good for me so far! It all started two nights ago when i was driving and my drivers side front tire blew out when I was going 55mph. The damage is bad, first off the strut and rim were done, the rim got bent bad becasue I had to ride the rim a little to get off the road, the strut got bent so i had to order a new one, the inner fender liner is no more. Good news is i got a new strut and everything else but now I have these 3 warning lights that keep poping on, and btw I have my spare on for now, but im not going ot drive it until my new wheels and tires come in. So the low tire pressure warning light is a no brainer. Anyways these other two lights scare me a bit and Idk what to do, do you think mitsu will warrenty it???

 

cant tell what the 3rd one is, my guess is the 2nd one has to do with traction control or the awd im sure someone will come along and be able to help you.


this might be something you want to get fixed under insurance, with geico its called something like non accident claim or non-collision and usually has a deductible of $200...

if the 3rd is traction control could the 2nd be something with the differential ?

 

The last one is the traction control, that's all i can tell you. I get that sometimes in the snow when the car spins. Hope it all works out for you.

 

warrenty i dont know seems though yu have a lot of mods

 

warranty wouldnt cover something that happened from a road hazard...ie. tire blow out. maybe if it was just a flat tire then there would be room for argument but a complete blow out...im not sure...


either complain to the tire/wheel company, file on insurance or pay out of pocket...these are the only options...with the 1st being a long shot.

 

This.

If you've got good insurance and it won't skyrocket your rates, I'd say try to file a claim. You could try the dealer, but they're more than likely going to milk you for every $$$ for diagnosing/repairing the problems.

Did you check the manual for those errors? It may give you an idea of what they mean. I'm too lazy/cold to run outside and grab mine...

Sorry to hear man. That's a tough way to start the new year . At least things can start to get better from here on out?

 

One of them could be your sensor cluster. They'll have to scan to ind out. Mine went out doing donuts and my tech said they're very delicate and from your crash I wouldn't be surprised if yours went out.

 

The ECU probably can't tell the spare is on, and the altered traction/weight is throwing it off. The lights should go out when you put the new rim on.

 

^^^ this.

1st light is from having the spare on. theres no pressure sensor in the spare.
2nd light is related to the 1st.
3rd. most likely related as well.

slap a new rim/tire on with a calibrated tpms. see if your troubles go away.

 

sweet im gonna try this out thanks alot guys

 

hope it works, would make things alot easier if it does...good luck

 

Damn Mike?! Rough start to the year, glad your ok from the blowout.

1st- light will come on if you leave the car outside in the cold for long periods of time until the tire heats up/ or in this case the spare being on.

Did you still have the stock tires on Mike? Also why is your ASC off in those pics? Did it automatically go off when the spare was put on or was it like that after the crash and assuming it will not change until you get the new rim and tire on.

As for the other stuff I'll go with the general consensus.

 

Thanks alot for ur help anyone else have an idea. I just orderd my new rotas and tires . But I took a step back taking off the spare 2 of the lugs broke off. Serioulsy WTF. I'm keeping a stock 18 as my spare now. Our spare sucks major *****. Orderd the new studs too so it's back on jackstands for the time being.

 

Yeah the asc went off by itself and I can't put it back on.

 

How the hell did you break 2 studs?
