This is a new, and different recall from the previous Mitsubishi recall on the no-start/hard-start issue on 08/09 lancers. The first recall was a relay-replacement fix.

The new recall is for a reflash of the Lancer's ECM.

Recall #: TSB-08-13-004

"The no-start/hard-start condition is due to an incorrect parameter in the ECM that closes the Electronic Throttle Valve during start-up and doesn't allow the correct amount of air flow."


I personally still need to take my car into the dealership to have both TSB's performed. Looks like Mitsubishi finally has the entire problem solved.

 

now all you have to do is try and get them to let works do the reflash and you'll be set.

 

this was released at least 2 months ago. sorry

 

this is the first I've heard of a reflash to fix the startup problem. Thanks for the info

 

got it reflashed at last oil change

 

has the reflashed worked? i may need it!

 

I think my lancer is having this isuse as it does not start every time. I do own a 2010 lancer so I'm not sure if I have the 'fixed' tsb.

does the dealership normally charge to have the ecu reflashed?

 

no charge if you have warranty....if you are out of warranty, pay the reprogramming fee.
