2002 Mitsubishi Montero XLS 4x4 ghost light problem

[@sakuraart]

This is a good video. I have this intermittently... looks like I'll get the same part and change it out on my sweat Monti too!

[@tnridge]

I love this vehicle..it has an oil leak right now. I gotta get it fixed. Everything on this vehicle works great. It has a little studder about 40 to 45 mph...but it has almost 208000 miles

[@sakuraart]

Stevo me too. exact same conditions... little oil leak, and a stutter at around 45~50.

[@tnridge]

I've not figured out the studder...maybe have to take the plentom off and put new plugs and something to do with the fuel injection system

[@sakuraart]

Stevo I did that already. it went away, and so did the tick I had... but a few months later after the oil started dripping, that's when my studder started.

[@tnridge]

Adam Pierce it may very well be the torque converter I read somewhere where it could be that

[@campermike8879]

Prob that actuator. My 92 Chevy truck has a problem with 4X4 not wanting to engage after the truck has been driven awhile. It needs that actuator and was common on them to.

[@tnridge]

yea this thing is out of 4x4 and it tries going in on it's own even when the shift is back in normal..LOL.then you can put it in 4 wheel with ease as long as you put it with the stick.

[@freedomfighter0011]

its more than likely the solenoid is faulty, common problem, my pajero just did the same thing and i swapped out then solenoids and fixed the problem. Your pulling the wrong hose off, try pulling the top two off and swap them and you should see the lights go out thats because usually 1 solenoid is still working. Other than that its probably an earth problem on one of the 4wd switches located on the transfer case. Hope you fix it, cheers.

[@tnridge]

That's what it was because I did make a follow up video on it after I bought the solenoid..and it fixed it. Thanks

[@sakuraart]

ah... yes! I have a sheared earth cable on the bottom of my transfer case, maybe I can just replace it and all is fixed... I'll see!

[@WatertownFilms]

can you link your follow up video?

[@WatertownFilms]

Found it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHOlknymatRkg9U

[@benniearthur737]

My truck is doing the same thing so changing the solenoid fixed your problem???

[@tnridge]

yes it sure did..I do not have this vehicle any more. I wish I'd kept it. I'd love to have a brand new one just like it but they do not build them like that any more.

[@benniearthur737]

@@tnridge my 2002 Mitsubishi Montero is making the same sound as you described in your video and you said you changed the solenoid and you say that fixed the problem??? So, were can I order that same piece? I know what you mean about wishing you still had it. I really love mind also and really hope to fix it. Any help would greatly be appreciated sincerely, Ben Arthur

Hello, I am not sure if you got yours fixed but Im still posting my comment as I can see this is a very popular problem with the Montero/Pagero. As in my case, I dont have any problems going from 2x4 to 4x4L or 4x4H but as always it starts with the flasshing light in the middle after driving for 50 miles or so. A way to diagnose what exactly is going on I followed David G. video recommendations by tapping into the ODB 2 connector and letting the car's ECU display the alarm codes as it is well explained in abovementioned video. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4rXlqGZndKKZ7c I hope it helps at least some of you. I love Monteros and I always try to keep them as good as possible all the time. I own 3 of them. Blessings.

[@tnridge]

I sold mine almost two years ago. This video is pretty old. What I did to mine fixed it at the tme. IT was trying to engage at like 40 mph hence is why I changed out that part.

[@HEISTVISION]

Was it as easy as detaching the solenoid and replacing it with the new one?

[@tnridge]

Yes it was very easy

[@HEISTVISION]

Thanks, I need to replace mine.

[@81recinos]

What was the problem?

[@frankvela8476]

I can’t switch out of 4x4 and it doesn’t seem to like going past 40 much. Too loud. Any suggestions ?

[@tnridge]

honestly I wouldn't know. There are some forums online that you may get some answers. What year model is yours?

[@tnridge]

It could be your actuator

[@frankvela8476]

I cut the adaptor to the actuator motor made an extension and connected the positive and negative to a battery and let the motor stop in one direction and it stopped back in 2 wheel drive.

[@biok2006]

Can you please make a video about the function on computer when you can see the speed on each whell when is the car moving? Mine dosent work i want to see how work in your car. Just press the button on the central screen and select the option when appears the 4 wheels speed and please take a ride. I apreciate very much and sorry my english. I want to know how to fix my problem and if i can fix it with obd . Thanks and waiting. Please let me know

[@tnridge]

I do not have a computer..I just got online and figured it out and went with my gut instinct about what part I needed. Changed out the part and fixed it. Thanks

[@billcosbyforpresident5423]

What happened to your f150

[@tnridge]

I still have it..this montero I've had it a while.....this month I've had my F150 for a year..had one problem..Idler pully bushing went bad and it was making a noise..I just bought a new one and replaced it. IT's been a great truck so far.

[@angelsancho555]

what's the part number? I have the same problem..

[@tnridge]

not sure part number but I can give you a link to the part I bought. The part is called a free wheel clutch solenoid here is a link to one on ebay..Same one I bought worked like a charm. If you get this part from Mitsubishi it will cost you probably over 100 bux and there is nothing to it. www.ebay.com/itm/Clutch-Solenoid-Valve-for-Mitsubishi-Montero-Sport-2-5-2-8-3-0-3-5-MB937731-/262549610635?hash=item3d212d208b:g:eKEAAOSwTZ1XmaJQ&vxp=mtr

[@angelsancho555]

Stevo Thank you very much, will check it out... Get back to you.

[@tomasrauda1117]

Stevo what part does this part you bought control?

[@tnridge]

IT controls the vacuum for the 4x4 actuator.

[@tomasrauda1117]

Ok. Mine shakes/grinds when driving below 50 mph. It stops when I let off the gas or when I go over 50 mph. Does this sound similar to the symptoms your monty was doing?

[@wsu610]

the vacuum switch youre pointing is the problem.

[@tnridge]

I did buy one and fixed the problem..I love this vehicle...hope I get more miles out of it..it's going on 205000 miles..LOL
