good to hear!
what i meant was that my issue was that the fluid level in the acd reservoir was dropping and it would cause the 3 lights to come on. i could not find any leaks in the system, thus, i took it to the dealer and had them look at it. they said that there was no leaks and everything was fine, however, the system needs to be bled because whoever changed the fluid , didn;t bleed the system, and that's why the reservir level keeps on dropping because the acd had an air pocket and keeps on sucking more fluid as the pockets shifts around. that's what they said, they wanted 100$ to do the bleeding for me so i refused to get it done there (atleast for now, been busy) but iam planning on taking it back to them and have it bled. but my next question is that i have put almost 2 quarts of atf into the reservoir and it does drop in level but not as much as before, minor. so how much does the acd really take in quarts after a fluid change?
Thanks,
btw, i appologize for the missppelings.

Here are some updates;
the lights could come on for all the reasons that were discussed above except for ONE
and that was my case (unfortunatly), lucky me, my car is pretty much bone stock and the warranty is still valid, mitsu tech support got thier hands on it and figured what the problem was. Apparently since the ACD unit is placed inside the transfer case, there is a rubber seal in between those two units, that seal was leaking acd fluid into my tc hence no leaks were found. the dealer basicaly had to replace my TC and now everything is good to go! hopefuly none of u guys would encounter such a thing but if u do, keep this in mind and mention it to the dealer.
Thanks and goodluck.
