Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your Cordia testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why is my Mitsubishi Cordia making engine noise?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mitsubishi Cordia. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Mitsubishi Cordia engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I add water to my Mitsubishi Cordia radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your Cordia radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.

What could cause my Cordia engine to suddenly stop?

Reasons your Cordia car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
