Help needed from a new Evo 8 owner

Hi all after many years wanting an Evo I have finally go one about a month ago. I am all excited and planing all my mods for it, since I have always wanted an Evo before I even knew how to drive.

in the last few days I have noticed that after about 15min of driving all 3 off the ACD lights would come on and stay on until I turn the car on and off against.

Can someone please help me?? Is there something wrong with my ACD??

Thank for your help, what do you mean the previous person deleted it??? Can it be restored??

I bought it from a dealer and in Australia there is a 3 month warranty on all cars that from dealers should I go back to the dealer or see a mechanic to see what's wrong with it first??

If you do a search on the ACD 3 lights or something to that extent you will get tons of information. I have an 03 evo 8 and I knew that I would be making bigger power so thats why I chose not to have it. Most people who are going to make bigger power go to a non acd transfer case. I would search it as they would know more then I would. Sorry I cant be more help.

Prob the pump. But bring it to the dealer to check for what code it really is.

Worst case, need a pump. either get it rebuilt or new pump. Good Luck.

Yes it's safe to drive assuming it's the pump.
