What causes a Lancer’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

A multitude of problems can activate your Lancer’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you reset your Lancer’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Lancer?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Lancer, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is my Lancer’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Lancer includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Lancer forward.

All About 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Lancer's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Mitsubishi, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Lancer and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mitsubishi's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Mitsubishi Lancer Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Lancer might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. A lot depends on your driving style and climate.

How much does it cost to fix your 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
