Mitsubishi Outlander Dashboard Warning Lights in Auburn, MA
At our Midstate Mitsubishi service center, one of the most common questions we receive from Mitsubishi Outlander owners concerns those mysterious dashboard warning lights. We understand that seeing an unfamiliar symbol illuminate on your dashboard can be concerning, so we've put together this guide to help you understand what your Outlander is trying to tell you.
Critical Warning Lights: Stop Immediately
The Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light refers to a red oil can symbol. Should you see this while commuting across Route 20, pull over safely and turn off your engine immediately. This indicates dangerously low oil pressure, which can cause severe engine damage within minutes. Check your oil level and contact our service center for assistance before driving further.
A red circle with an exclamation point or the word "BRAKE" indicates the Brake System Warning Light and means that there is a serious brake system issue. This could mean low brake fluid, a brake system malfunction, or problems with your parking brake. We recommend having your Outlander towed to our service center rather than risking your safety.
The thermometer symbol in red is known as the Engine Temperature Warning Light and means your engine is overheating. Pull over, turn off the engine, and let it cool completely before checking coolant levels. Continued driving can warp your engine block and result in thousands of dollars in repairs.
Important Warnings: Schedule Service Soon
The Check Engine Light is an amber motor symbol that may be the most common warning light we see. It can indicate anything from a loose gas cap to a serious emissions problem. While you can typically continue driving, we recommend scheduling a diagnostic appointment within a few days. Our technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to read the specific trouble codes and identify the exact issue.
A horseshoe-shaped light belongs to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TMPS), and its exclamation point means one or more tires has low pressure. Driving on underinflated tires reduces fuel efficiency, causes uneven wear, and can be dangerous. So, before your next trip to University Park, stop by our service center for a free pressure check and inspection.
For Outlander models equipped with AWD, the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Warning Light indicates a problem with the system. Common causes include mismatched tire sizes or a system malfunction. Bring your vehicle in so we can diagnose and resolve the issue before it affects your vehicle's performance.
Maintenance Reminders
The Service Reminder Light will appear as a wrench symbol or "SERVICE" indicator. It simply means your Outlander is due for routine maintenance based on mileage or time intervals. This includes oil changes, filter replacements, and multi-point inspections. Schedule an appointment with our service advisors to keep your vehicle running optimally.
The Battery/Charging System Light symbol indicates your charging system isn't working properly. This could be a failing alternator, loose belt, or battery issue. We can test your charging system and replace components as needed to prevent you from being stranded with a dead battery.
What to Do When a Light Appears
When any warning light illuminates, we recommend the following steps: First, safely pull over if it's a red warning light. Second, consult your Owner's Manual for specific information. Third, contact our service center in Auburn to describe the light and symptoms you're experiencing. Our knowledgeable staff can advise whether you need immediate service or if it's safe to drive to our facility.
Remember, warning lights are designed to protect your investment and keep you safe. Never ignore them or assume they'll go away on their own. Our certified Mitsubishi technicians have the training, tools, and genuine parts to diagnose and repair any issue your Outlander may have. Schedule your service appointment today and drive with confidence knowing your vehicle is in expert hands.

“ We had an amazing experience at Mitsubishi! Jaelani Cruz was incredible to work with—she was never pushy and truly listened to what I wanted. She made the entire process feel comfortable and stress-free. Thomas Rizzitano was also extremely helpful and made everything go smoothly from start to finish. We arrived around 6:30 p.m., right before closing, and they still welcomed us without making us feel rushed. The part that stood out the most was how wonderful they were with our 3-year-old son. They made him feel comfortable, included him throughout the process, and were so patient and kind. I couldn’t have asked for a better car-buying experience. I would absolutely recommend this dealership and will definitely be back when it’s time for another vehicle! ”
