What does it mean?
Hello,
This means you do need to take your car into your dealer for some maintenance that is quite critical depending on your mileage.
If you have recently changed the battery or had the battery disconnected you may need to reset your onboard computer and this is usually only done at an authorized Mitsubishi shop such as your dealer. It requires a password or code from a computer assisted device connected to the jack in your engine compartment.
Regards,

What is your problem?

Q: Is it safe to drive if my "Check Engine" light is on?
A: It really depends what code is stored and what caused it. In worst cases driving with "Check engine" light may cause more damage to the vehicle. A car may even stall while driving. If your check engine light came on, I'd certainly recommend to visit your dealer or a mechanic as soon as possible, just to be on a safe side. If the Check Engine light is flashing, this means that the engine computer (ECM) has detected that your engine is misfiring, which could damage your catalytic converter. Have the your vehicle inspected as soon as possible.
