Mitsubishi Outlander Dashboard Warning Lights Guide in Attleboro, MA
At the Courtesy Mitsubishi Service Department, one of the most common questions we receive from Mitsubishi Outlander owners is about those mysterious dashboard warning lights. We understand that seeing an unfamiliar symbol illuminate on your dash can be concerning, so we've put together this guide to help you understand what your Outlander is trying to tell you as you drive in Attleboro.
Critical Warning Lights
Check Engine Light: This amber engine-shaped icon is perhaps the most common warning light we see. While it doesn't always indicate a serious problem, it shouldn't be ignored. The light activates when your Outlander's onboard diagnostics detect an issue with the emissions system, engine, or transmission. Sometimes it's as simple as a loose gas cap, but it could also signal a failing oxygen sensor or catalytic converter. We recommend scheduling a diagnostic appointment so our certified technicians can read the trouble codes and identify the exact issue.
Brake System Warning Light: If you see a red "BRAKE" indicator or the brake system warning symbol, pull over safely and check your parking brake first. If it's not engaged and the light remains on, your brake fluid may be low or there could be a problem with your braking system. This requires immediate attention from our service department, as brake issues compromise your safety when you’re moving at a high rate of speed on I-95
Battery/Charging System Light: This red battery symbol indicates your charging system isn't working properly. Your alternator may not be charging the battery, or there could be an electrical system fault. If this light appears while driving, try to get to our service center as soon as possible—your vehicle may stall once the battery depletes, leaving you stuck at Manchester Reservoir.
Important Safety Indicators
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This horseshoe-shaped light with an exclamation point means one or more tires are significantly underinflated. Check your tire pressures and inflate them to the specifications listed on your driver's door jamb. If the light persists after proper inflation, you may have a slow leak or a faulty TPMS sensor that our team can diagnose.
ABS Warning Light: If the "ABS" light stays illuminated, your anti-lock braking system has detected a fault. While your regular brakes will still function, you won't have ABS assistance in emergency braking situations. Schedule an appointment to bring your Outlander to us for proper diagnosis and repair.
Airbag System Warning: A light depicting a seated figure with a deployed airbag indicates a problem with your supplemental restraint system. This could affect your airbags' ability to deploy in an accident, so schedule service promptly.
Routine Maintenance Reminders
Oil Change Indicator: Many Outlander models feature an oil life monitoring system that calculates when you need an oil change based on driving conditions. When this light or message appears, it's time to schedule your next oil change with our service team. Regular oil changes are crucial for engine longevity.
Service Reminder: Some models display a wrench icon or "SERVICE" message when routine maintenance is due. This is your Outlander's way of reminding you to keep up with scheduled maintenance outlined in your owner's manual.
When to Call Us
While some warning lights indicate minor issues you can address yourself, others require professional diagnosis and repair. Our service advisors are always happy to answer questions about your warning lights, and our certified technicians have the factory training and diagnostic equipment to properly address any concerns with your Outlander.
Don't ignore warning lights—they're your vehicle's way of communicating potential problems before they become major repairs. Contact our service center to schedule an appointment, and we'll get your Outlander back to peak performance.
