You need to have the Alternator tested, the battery symbol indicates the system voltage is low. The other problems are due to the low voltage.

I ve had a 97 Mitsubishi Legnum and it wasn't idelling at all.(so in trafic brake and accelarator pretty dangerous) The idelling motor was buggered. Replaced with a 2nd hand idelling motor. Still doesn't idle perfectly. But works OK. It wasn't idleling well in temperaturers below 0. but after a while will be fine now.
Mitusubishis are known for their idelling motor problems. Good luck...

SOURCE: neutral light on magna th

Hi there,

The Diamante has an intelligent auto transmission.

When the "N" light flashes on your instrument panel, it means the onboard computer has detected an abnormaility within the automatic transmission.

If I remember correctly, the frequency of the flashing "N" denotes two possibilities:

a) 1 flash per second = Transmission fault:

You will need to have the fault codes extracted from the vehicle's computer, to determine the area of your transmission which is at fault.

b) 2 flashes per second = overheated transmission

Pull over and allow the engine to idle for 2-3 mins, while in PARK (this will aid the transmission fluid to flow throughout and help to cool the trans fluid down a little). You will need to have the fluid inspected and possibly the fluid temp sensor also.

Cheers,

"If this has helped you in any way, please rate this solution"

SOURCE: TH Magna stalling in idle after battery replacement

Hi - what was the solution??

Ive just had exactly this problem. Got new battery today then no idle. The car starts fine and runs for abourt 1 second then instantly dies. Its fine if you keep your foot on the throttle. Unfortunately if you are going downhill as soon as you place your foot on the brake the engine dies and the steering fails - then the brakes!!!

I seem to remember having idle problems the last time I replaced the battery. but not as severe.

Any how I got home after nearly crashing with starting the engine 20 times. Then with the engine off I pressed the throttle right to the floor and released.- and then restarted. That seemed to work for some reason ??? The Idle is now 100% ok although still a bit rough. But at least does't stall.
I cant see why doing anything to the throttle pedal/cable should affect the idle to be killed.?? even if the cable snapped it should still idle.
NB about 10% of the starts the idle actually idled ok for a few minutes before failing again

Any thoughts greatfully received

I now darent go out!!

Misubishi service had no idea- said bring it in!!

Why mitsubishi magna 1994 shows battery sign when running?

Malfunction in the charging system. Have your alternator tested, it's probably bad. Do it soon or your battery won't have enough charge to start the car.

Left turn signals won't flash, Right side works fine. Replaced front and rear turn bulbs (rear was burned out). Bulbs come on fine on the left side, they just won't flash.

Gday mate, we had a problem with another late model vehicle similar to that, the bulb that was put into the reverse light was not exact brand product ( ohmage was slightly wrong ) and fowled up computer, correct bulb in place and disconnect battery to reset K A M ( keep alive memory) problem solved, BEWARE, some vehicles cannot have KAM reset except for dealer computer tethered reboot , just try putting the factory correct bulb(s) in and see how it goes, geoff. hope this helped.

Stalls when at idle after changing battery

When you changed the battery the computer must re-learn the setting again. If it continues have a OBD II reader plugged in and check for codes.

Hi, Oil Symbol in Mitsubishi Magna

one of two possibilities: the engine is low on oil, if it has a low oil level sensor. have you checked the oil level on the dipstick? or the engine oil pressure is very low. a tech can do a manual check of the oil pressure. if the oil pressure is low, you have internal engine problems such as worn main bearings or hopefully just the oil pump needs to be replaced.
