New Campaign to have the AWC ECU reprogrammed to match operation with ambient temps. Have them check if you car needs it when you bring it in for the Fuel line recall.

You could always just pay your dealership an hour of time to do it if you can't wait for mitsubishi to give it up for free...either that or drive to Colorado.

 

Interesting, first time I am hearing of this.

 

Me too, I ran the Mitsu Super Screen to check on the fuel recall and it was on there as well. So posted it up for every one. It's really new, like this week new.

( I work at a dealer)

 

so what does this mean if you have a tune? flash to stock and get the update and flash tune back in? a tune won't overwrite this rom right?

 

No, that is not the same ECU as the Engine ECU. The AWC system has it's own ECU. That is what is being reprogrammed.

 

wow i thought i was bad tripping last winter... it was like -30celsius out here... i start the car and when switching to SNOW mode, S-AWC service required popped up, and the car drove like crap, and the service manager at dealership told me i was on crack... yeah right. looks like a 3rd recall for my evo... sigh

 

Recalls:
1) Fuel Rail Issue
2) AWC ECU
3) ???

 

Hood latch.

 

Ohhh yea sorry forgot about that.

 

Whats the big deal? All cars have recalls.

 

not really but still

 

i hope i can get this done before it gets cold out

 

Yes really, I've worked in the dealership business for 8 years. All cars have recalls at some point in their model span. If you don't own one, you would never know. These are also not major issues. It takes no more than an hour to fix any of these. Most likely they were over looked during the engineering process as Mitsu was trying to cuts some costs to keep the Cars price as low as they could while still meeting production deadlines. Bottom line there is no perfect design.

 

Hood Latch and AWC ECU reflash are service campaigns (TSB), not recalls. Only recall on the Evo X so far is the fuel rail.
