Subject: lock light doesn't go out in 4WD or 2WD
Question:

Hi there,
We have just bought a 2001 Mitsubishi Pajero iO ZR 3-door 4WD (this was the special 2-litre sports version) and we have noticed that whenver we change from 2WD to 4WD the lock light doesn't go out but flashes when we are in either. We have had a chance to use it in the other two conformations available 4Hlc or 4 Llc. Is the fact it remains it and constantly flashes a problem? Many thanks.
Answer: Mike,
If that light flashes continuously, that typically means that the computer has detected a problem with locking the transfer case into 4WD. You may need to have your local Mitsubishi mechanic run the diagnostic tool on the transfer case electrical system to see where the problem is.
Good luck!
