I'm having the same issue. Took it to Mitsu and they told me it would cost me $125 just to have a diagnostics check and that the ACD isnt covered under my powertrain. I have 65k on my car. I'm wondering if the service charge was something that everyone pays and if it is a bad pump they'll replace it under warranty or was the guy just being a stickler?

When my pump was replaced under warranty I didn't have to pay a cent. It sounds like they don't want to replace your pump and are tryin to charge you just to have the code pulled.

ACD pump is only covered with the bumper to bumper warranty. You can pull the code if you have a tactrix cable and Evoscan.

Mine was replaced at around 40k miles a year or two ago, covered by extended warranty.

Mitsubishi is not the only place to pull the code. You can do it by yourself . There is two ways .

1 - The easiest is with tactrix cable and evoscan . Just plug it and the ACD will flash .

Long flashes = 10
Quick flashes = 1

Then you check what the faulty code is on this website :

2 - the ghetto way is with a paper clip . Just by pass pin 1 and 4 from the OBDII plug and read the acd flashes .

I bought my evo8 over a year ago and my 3 lights always come on after about 5 mins of driving. It has done this ever since i bought it.It Runs and drives just fine.
I hated it at first, but now im used to it.

I did figure somethign out though. Lets say you start your car, and you have tarmec selected....Drive the car untill all three lights come on. Then push the button. Turn the car off and back on, and it will be on gravel instead of tarmec.......so apparently it still works somewhat if all three lights are on. Just keep count of how many times you push the button lol

No it don't work even if you are able to switch mode with that weird method. Your car is now running on open differential . Go drive on gravel , you'll see the differene .
