Issue after ECU replaced

So my computer got messed up during my recall where they flashed it. It required replacing the computer which was a month and a half wait. Oh well.

Well today I got the car back. After a minute or so of driving, all 3 of the ACD lights come on and stay on (Dirt, Tarmac, Snow).

Any idea what this means?

it probably means go to a tuner and get it sorted out.

All three of those lights coming on usually indicates an issue with the ACD pump or system. Seeing as how that was not there before, I would take off the shifter console and see if they left anything unplugged near the ACD computer.

A tuner will tell you what could be wrong if you can't find the issue. Most of the time they are smarter than Mitsubishi techs anyway.

take it back, unfortunately when they do the air bag recall I think there is a ECU recall or update also, on the EvoM recall thread others had bought this up to not let them do that reflash but thats not useful to you now, just take it back and explain the issue, they may bounce it and say you must have had a tune in it and its back in your hands but if it was stock you will have grounds to make them fix it. Speak to the service manager too not the lacky on the desk

Probably not related to the ECU swap. Probably related to sitting around a month while corrosion took place.
