Mitsubishi Canter Van: Indicator Light On - Troubleshooting Guide & Solutions

Hello, I have a problem with a Mitsubishi Canter van because this light is on. Please help

It looks like a brake pad wear indicator

greetings

You know the saying: "If everything fails, read that goddamn instruction manual!" ?

brake pad wear sensor. Replace brake pads with sensors, otherwise the system will switch to emergency operation mode (engine power weakening).

Only without such heresies please

buddy Rolandos I am a few years old Mitsubishi canter and I know what I am talking about.

Added after 51 [minutes]:

My hint is directed to Sylwo 8808 regarding lukasz 10000115 in models 2.8 D Canter mountain brake its operation is signaled by a flashing orange lamp with a compression symbol and a rotation mark, the same badge is on the mountain brake switch on the right side of the steering wheel, the principle of the brake was described by a colleague before correctly.

As for the pads and the sensor, of course, I agree, but the idea of limiting the power is a very exaggerated matter. It is not possible. I don't have the Canter fact Only servicing them on a daily basis in the service

Drive a few kilometers on the glowing brick wear sensor and you'll find out after a while. Not everything is known, knowledge costs money, the feedback system is described, among others, in the book "Modern diesel systems" Volvo used the first solutions of this type in their tractors. Knowing the Japanese, you certainly do not have wiring diagrams and an electronic injection pump controller, because if you had it, you would not tell stupid things, if you have it, many are waiting for them. The brake pad wear is coupled with the injection pump controller, the pump controller, among other things, controls the acceleration or delay system on the pump, in which case the injection is set to a delayed position after a while, power drop white exhaust gases. safety this was the idea of the layout builder. I sold a lot of knowledge for free, I don't know if you deserve it ??? If you are the owner of the website, you will earn a lot of money on this knowledge.

Welcome.
Some tips for beginners:
1. There is such a thing as "reducing the aspect ratio of a photo". Your photo of shit .. the other control (of which 90% of the photo is a black background) takes over 643 KB. I waited on my phone for over a minute to load this photo - while it would be enough to reduce its size to about 15 KB, crop and it would load in three seconds. I ignore saving space on the server
643 KB is enough to make a quite clear panorama of a big city!
2. Canter is the name of more than one Mitsubishi model - so do not imagine that when you take a photo of the control, everyone knows what model it is about. Nobody wants to run from car to car and compare the photo with the original. So for the future, try to accurately determine the model and at least the year. After your photo, you can't even tell what the counter looks like, because the whole background is black!

Do not impress us here with what you read in the book - the question is about the Mitsubishi Canter, not Volvo!
These kinds of books are for librarians-theorists to impress with knowledge in society

It just so happened that I have access to the diagrams directly from the manufacturer. You made me so interested that I checked your revelations:
1. There is NO connection between the brake indicator light and the engine control unit.
2. There is NO connection between the engine controller and the pad control wire.
3. NONE of the engine controller error codes explains the engine power limit with a signal from worn pads.
4. I have seen many Mitsubishi Canter with the pad wear indicator light on. NONE of the customers reported a drop in power for this reason.

If you have - send it, because many are waiting for it. I can present a fragment of the circuit with wear sensors on the forum. More, rather not - because as you said yourself, "knowledge costs"

Since when does the injection pump in the CDI system decide about the start of injection ?????
Dude! Wake up and read with understanding !!! The question was not asked in detail, but the indicator in the photo is for a car with a CDI engine!
Anyway, I also reviewed the previous model with a turbo diesel engine and there is no such dependency as you write about.

Normally, I cried for joy
Do you know where you can put your knowledge?
I can't
We are waiting for the next revelations that you read in the book "Modern Diesel Systems"

Great words I support

Here you are, but this is only a fragment, because knowledge costs money.

No one deserves such "knowledge" - you simply mislead people.

And now I'm going to make this "kapuchę".

I have an ordinary 2.8 naturally aspirated engine and that's how it is for me. I do not professionally repair cars, this is the knowledge of the author of the book I referred to, confirmed by one of the mitsubishi services in Krakow and my many years of experience with this model (how many times the brake pads indicator lights up and I delay with replacement, these are the symptoms as described, after replacing the blocks after a short time, the engine operation returns to normal), which confirms this theory, because it is difficult to call it a coincidence, especially since there is confirmation in the specialist literature and by the service. The diagram you sent is the next generation of Canter cars.

This alone proves that you write out the maximum foolishness. Stop it or I'll give you a warning.

Andrzej Janus wrote:

the more that there is confirmation in the professional literature

What do you call professional literature? Because for me, the determinant is the factory documentation, in which there is not a single word and not a single diagram that would indicate the connection of the brake pad indicator with the injection system.

The schematic you sent is the next generation of Canter cars.

I will scan the canter TD diagram especially for you, because this one is only available in paper form.

so try to get to this diagram. It's probably some completely older model ...

Colleague Andrzej, maybe he will give exactly the model and year ...

Thank you all for your time and commitment in this topic, I think that anyway I did not mislead anyone by recommending the replacement of the blocks with the glowing brake pad wear indicator and the operation of the mountain brake. 2.8 D 1997 Doble version.
I greet everyone.

Andrzej Janus wrote:

If you can, please send the entire wiring diagram

Unfortunately you can't.

I just checked the Canter 2.8 D 4M40 engine DENSO fuel pump, no connection to the pad wear indicator system. For me, the topic was long overdue, I just don't like pointless gibberish.

I close.
