Sounds like a steering wheel sensor. Call Mitsubishi back and tell them that, or try a different dealer. Sensor detects the angle of the steering wheel when determining ABS operation parameters (I think)...

SOURCE: ABS brake system comes on everytime I stop - no codes set

Test your wheel speed sensors. You can do it with a DVOM or a hand held lab scope. With a DVOM you want 2.8VAC while spinning the wheel and with a lab scope you want a good sine wave pattern.

If you had the car scanned with a generic OBDII code reader (Which is what they use at all the parts stores) this is probably why it is not showing any codes. You have "Vehicle Specific" codes. This means that the problem with your Check Engine light is not a problem that will generate a "generic" OBD code. A generic OBD code reader will not read codes from your Antilock Brake System or your Traction Control System at all... You need to have it scanned professionally by someone who has the proper equipment and software to access the Controller Area Network (CAN) in your vehicle.

Hi, I have a tundra 2016 and its giving error codes such as P0778 and C1201

You may want to bring it in for diagnostics. Low transmission fluid level, restricted filter or a faulty Transmission Pressure Control Solenoid "B" could trigger the engine light. P0778 has to do with the transmission having a problem correcting or maintaining proper line pressures. C1201 has appeared due to the transmission issue. The transmission and ABS system are tide in together. The transmission problem is causing the ABS to cancel any commands that may activate the ABS system during that drive cycle. Any questions please feel free to write back.

ABS light is on

If your ABS light is staying lit: you need to have the computers scanned for codes, as the light is the Check-Engine light for the ABS system. It also means your ABS system is disabled.

What does it mean?camry 1998 displaying abs and trac off at high speed120km/hr

This means there is a problem with the trac and abs system. the way it works is that when the computer sees a problem with the abs or trac system it turns them both off. also if the check engine light is turnned on due to a problem the computer shuts down the trac and abs system as well due to the computer not being able to control the trac or abs system when there is a engine problem.

The first step here would be to have the computer scanned and get any stored codes out to find out where the problem is. Have the computer scanned for codes first.

Abs light sometimes on...sometimes off

The ABS light coming on means that the computer is seeing a problem with the ABS system, which won't set the CEL light, especially since the ABS system has nothing to do with the engine. You need to have someone scan the system for all codes, soft and hard. And then let us know what you find out.

The abs light comes on

The computer is sensing a problem with your ABS, you could get it scanned for codes to point you in the right direction. Or you could try resetting the computer by disconnecting the battery for 5 mins. WARNING: If you disconnect the battery it will reset the codes and it will most likely show no faults found if scanned afterwards. If you plan on getting it scanned do this before disconnecting the battery. Also you may want to check the fuse and relay, usually found in the engine bay fuse block.

2002 toyota highlander 4 cylinder check engine light blinking

A blinking light, like a "service engine soon immediately" light?
The only way to know why the engine computer turned the light on is to plug in a scan tool at the diagnostic port, and then the fault code or codes will be displayed. The code will refer you or a tchnician to a specific system, part, or circuit that the computer has detected a fault in. It probably is the cause of your running rough condition, also.
Some parts stores (Autozone, and other national stores) offer free scan service to retrieve trouble codes. Be careful of buying new parts just because the trouble code refers to them. Most trouble codes need a little testing and further diagnosis to pin-point the problem.
You can post the codes here for help, or take them to youir mechanic.

How do i reset my abs warning light on my 2000 pontaic montana?\

ABS light on - means your Brake ABS system is not working.
Some autoparts stores, like AutoZone will scan you car for error codes. I recall that they can scan for engine and chassis codes, like the ABS system. They can also reset the light.

The bad news is that when the ABS light stays on, there really is something wrong with your ABS. You should get the car scanned and an estimate for the repair.
