ACD Lights

blackdemon · Oct 17, 2009, 07:10 AM

I went to ohio with a friend of mine. As i was driving there it was dark raining and visibility was very very low. I got blocked off from my friend by a tractor trailer, as he then moved out of my lane there was a huge deer dead on the floor. I couldn't completely swerve out of the way to miss it so i ran over it from the passenger side, ripping my SE lip in half and making a nice hole in my licp coupler. I got to where i was going with a boost leak, my boy then semi fixed the coupler since we could not find one to replace it with. We then drove all the way back to NY 7HRs + The next day i decided to wash the engine bay and underneath of the car to remove the smell. After a few minutes all 3 ACD lights were on. Keep in mine the car was fine after i ran over the deer and all the way back to NY. When the 3 acd lights are on and i hit the acd button then turn off the car you will see that the setting is different but then after a few minutes all 3 lights come back on. What can be the problem? Acd Sensor? Relay? The car drives normal. It just botheres me that all 3 lights are on.

No oil leaks at all. Other than the lights being on the car runs and drives absolutly normal.

may be a coincidence and there could be a relay problem. have you tried resetting the ecu (disconnecting the battery)?

probably just a coincidence. Many things can cause those lights to come on. Mine was a bad pump but I've heard of it also being ABS wheel sensors or even fluid levels. Check out the multiple threads on here about the ACD

Take it to the dealer, have them check wheel speed sensors. Car is in tarmac mode even though all three lights are on. Mine does the same thing, and I am waiting for the sensor to come in.. its covered under warranty too as long as your car is in warranty of course

If i recall i think the sensor is like $397.00 but i was being nebby and may have read wrong while she was tellimg me they were ordering it.

Hope and pray its not the pump. Those are $$

Try getting diagnostics done first

The pump is covered under your basic 60,000 mile warranty

so is the sensor, they already ordered it under warranty. I assumed he has no warranty or was black listed. Best of luck

my 3 acd lights became illuminated..i read the manual..and it says to bring it in

mitsu never actually found out what was specifically wrong. they determined it was a relay issue and replaced my acd pump. the bad pump is then sent away to mitsu engineers to work on.
