Close Mitsubishi Outlander Dashboard Warning Lights Guide in Mobile, AL
At Mobile Mitsubishi, one of the most common questions we receive from Mitsubishi Outlander owners is about dashboard warning lights. We understand that seeing an unfamiliar symbol illuminate on your dashboard can be concerning, so we've put together this guide to help you understand what these lights mean and when you should bring your vehicle in for service.
Check Engine Light
The check engine light is perhaps the most recognized warning indicator. When this amber-colored engine symbol appears, it indicates that your Outlander's onboard diagnostic system has detected an issue with the emissions system, engine performance, or related components. While this doesn't always mean immediate danger, we recommend scheduling a diagnostic appointment with our service team promptly. Sometimes it's a simple fix like a loose gas cap, but other times it could indicate a more serious issue that needs attention.
Brake System Warning Light
If you see a red exclamation point inside a circle or the word "BRAKE" illuminated, this requires immediate attention. This light typically indicates low brake fluid, a problem with your anti-lock braking system, or that your parking brake is engaged. If the light comes on while driving down I-165 and your parking brake is released, pull over safely and contact our Service Center in Mobile. Your brakes are critical to your safety, and we'll prioritize getting you in for an inspection.
Battery/Charging System Light
The battery symbol warns you about issues with your Outlander's charging system. This could mean a failing alternator, a loose battery connection, or a battery that needs replacement. If this light comes on, your vehicle may stop running once the battery is fully drained. We recommend bringing your Outlander in as soon as possible for electrical system testing.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
The TPMS light looks like an exclamation point inside a tire cross-section. This indicates that one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Proper tire pressure is crucial for safety, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity. You can check and adjust your tire pressure at home, but if the light persists after inflation, there may be a leak or sensor issue that our technicians should examine.
Engine Temperature Warning
An overheating engine is serious business. If you see a thermometer symbol or temperature gauge in the red zone, your engine is running too hot. Pull over immediately, turn off the engine, and let it cool down. Continuing to drive to Medal of Honor Park with an overheating engine can cause catastrophic damage. Call our Service Center for assistance, as this often requires towing.
All-Wheel Drive Warning Light
For Outlander models equipped with AWD, this light indicates a problem with the all-wheel drive system. While you can typically continue driving in front-wheel drive mode, we recommend scheduling service to diagnose and repair the issue to restore full AWD functionality.
Oil Pressure Warning
A red oil can symbol means your engine oil pressure is dangerously low. This requires immediate action. Low oil pressure can quickly destroy your engine. Stop driving immediately and check your oil level. If it's low, add oil. If the light remains on or you're unsure, have your Outlander towed to our service center.
