Hi all,
Mitsubishi has just released fix number 3 for the ECU.
I was told this by the Mitsubishi service department at Hunter Holden this afternoon (the Sydney North Shore Mitsubishi dealer).
Earlier this week I made the mistake of letting the fuel level get a bit low, and yes the dreaded DPF warning light came on along with the engine warning light.
The DPF light went out after I filed up, but the engine warning light stayed on. As well as this the engine would run on for a few seconds after I turned off the ignition.
You might think gunk from the bottom of the tank was the culprit but my Paj has done only 3,800 klms and only ever been filled at major retailers.
The service guys said my problem was caused by poor fuel, but I was in luck because they had just received fix number 3 "a day and a half earlier". So they updated the software, did a "burn-off" and changed the oil.
So far its running ok. Wraps to young Brendan at Hunter Holden who squeezed me in during a pretty busy day to get my problems sorted. The whole thing took just under an hour.
I'll post again if the problem returns.
Has anyone else out there had a similar problem (DPF light on when fuel level low) or had the new ECU update?
Has anyone found a simple work around (eg better fuel filter or mod to exhaust system)?
Cheers
