Take evo into mitsubishi for AYC??

[dan2926]

Hey guys,

My AYC light has came on (evo 6) and i have been meaning to get it looked at. There is no noises or anything the light just comes on after you move about 100mtrs.
Should i take it into the mitsubishi dealer in Aberdeen or is it maybe something more simple which i can diagnose? They will prob rip me a new ahole if i mention AYC....
I also heard that locally they are the only garage who will bleed the ayc system.

Cheers Danny

Why not use a HQ performance etc... A well known garage

Yes mate i plan to be taking a trip there very shortly for tuning but wanted to make sure everything else was ok as it is a 3 hour drive from me. If i was going all that way i would need to get everything done at the same time which they wouldnt be able to give me a total cost unless i knew exactly what was wrong. Is there any way to diagnose the fault and hq might be an option. Cheers buddy

Take it to a Garage you know, they can plug it in with there diagnostic machine give you a code then you know what it is dude,

Bridge pins 1 and 4 on the obd connector (under steering wheel) turn ignition on and count the flashes of the ayc light. Long flashes are 10's short flashes are 1's. eg 8 long flashes followed by 3 short is code 83. Then do a search on here for the fault code.

Spot on mate thanks for that i will give that a go tomorrow and see what it says.

Ok i have checked the fault codes and i have the following two codes showing up.

Code 41 - tps open or short circuit
Code 82 - electric pump system

Neither of which mean much to me lol

any idea whats fu**ed?

Cheers

82 is in pump failed! In other words pump is fudged!! Will need replacing or refurbing
You can buy a refurb kit and there is a vid on here somewhere detailing wat to do if your handy with the spanners!

Sorry to be bringer of bad news!

I think I've heard of Harry Hockley Motorsport doing a refurb/replace of AYC pumps... I may be wrong

 

[Wingnut247]

Yes they do a refurb service!

if your any good with spanners its a easy enough job to do its just a bit fuddly and a mess about but mine now works fine, pump was putting light on when oil was getting warm but spot on now
