Flashing light on centre diff

[Lee O'Sullivan]

Hi, I am new to this forum and need some help. I just spent $400 at Mitsubishi Knox to have the flashing centre diff light problem solved and it is still flashing. They replaced an accutator seal I think and said that was the problem. I went for a drive on Sunday , at exactly 24km's down the freeway the light started flashing again. When it flashes , the other wheel lights whether in 2wd or 4wd go out and the centre light flashes. Turn off the car , turn back on and lights go back to normal. I don't want to take it back to them again as they are going to charge me more $$$ to fix it and they are not sure what it is. Does anyone know of a helful , good mechanic or 4wd enthusiast who has dealt with this problem and could show me what to do in the south eastern suburbs, Melbourne? I know it could be a number of things from reading other peoples posts but I don't know anything about engines and don't know where to start. I am putting $$$ down the drain with Mitsubishi and don't know where to look for help. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks Lee

My new NT does this too. It doesn't happen around the City but on the freeway after I've been driving for about 25mins or so.

Mine is going in on the 26th back to get it checked - thankfully under warranty.

you paid them to fix it. they didn't fix it.

Take it back and have them fix it or ask your money back.

Mine used to do it and it was a vacuum line on the manifold - at the back

Got mine fixed

I have an 0 6 np. Mm dealer needed to replace all 5 transfer case sensors, lucky mine was under warranty.

[Lance]

Why would they need to replace ALL 5 sensors.
Most unlikely ALL 5 were faulty.

Couldn't they work out which one didn't work ?

[brianwanless]

I think you are right on the money, Lance. Why do a proper (time consuming ) diagnosis, just replace them all, it will be ok then.
If you paid to have it fixed and it's not, take it back.

vacume comes from the engine so follow the small vac line from the 2 x solinoids that lead to the engine manifold. easy peesy.
