hi, just today i got all three lights on the dash board,now iv'e read that this means a failing ACD pump, i cant take it to a mitsu dealer because in my country there is none, so i wanted to ask, can i drive my car with the 3 lights on or get a new ACD pump and do the job myself?

The ACD is a computerized locking differential. Three lights on indicate its not working. Not working results in an open differential. You can drive it that way.

Yes, you can drive it. Before dropping a ton of cash on anything, bleed the pump and be sure the fluid is topped off. Three lights means any of a number of errors and can be something as simple as low fluid level.

Check the fuse on the positive battery terminal. There is a 60 amp fuse on it for the ACD pump. If your lucky, it could be that!
