How did you break your Swaybar?

C161F is the only code showing now. My TARMAC light flashed on one of the first hot days of the year. I have access to a MUT3 through a buddy. Should I delete the code and wait for the C161E code to come up?

My Tarmac light has been blinking off and on since September of last year. I made an appointment with Mitsubishi last Friday for this past Monday and when I made the appointment I told them I was tuned and they did not seem to think there would be much of an issue. Took it to Mitsubishi dealership Monday morning and I got somewhat of a different response after I told them I was tuned. He told me that supposedly they have to pull the code from the car and send it to Mitsubishi and if they detect a modification they will reject the warranty work. He said they had a customer in with the AWD service required message and they were tuned and they denied work on their car. So I left. I'm contemplating whether to put a base tune back on the car and take it back and see if that works or just to leave it as is and let them run their check on it and see if the void it.

Putting your basic tune back on won't matter from what I hear as they have counters built in.

How do you check for C161 codes? Can evoscan do this?

Pump started to fail: 58,000 miles a month ago
Pump failed: 59,000
Cold-start reflashed: Not sure. I am guessing not. Bought in brand new and has never been to dealer since I got it.
Location: South Jersey

Brought it to dealer last Saturday and they are telling me that the failure is not covered because the damage to the pump is related to the tune. Service guy is telling me they got the wrong code. They cleared it and said it hasn't come back yet. Also noted to me that the pumps cannot handle too much power and that the tune did that.

At first they told me it was covered and they brought the car in started to work on it. I could see it from the outside. They took the wheel off and everything then all of a sudden he came back with that bull**** explanation. I don't know what they saw when they checked the pump in my car but it certainly changed their tune.

Since the dealership near me won't cover, does anyone know if I can take it to a different dealership that has handled cars with tune and if they would still be able to get my car covered under warranty? Any help would be great.

So, if you get the infamous C161E error code it means your ACD is done or what? What is the part number needed if this BS isn't covered under warranty? This is truly frustrating...

Pump Started to fail: 32K Miles (UK weather!)
Pump failed: 36K Miles
Cold Start Re-flashed: Unknown, has been serviced by Mitsubishi main dealer since new, so possibly.
Location: United Kingdom

Not covered by warranty despite all services by main dealer as it falls outside the UK 5 year limit on AYC pump. Only advice I can give if you are outside the warrant is change it yourself, I had a quote of £3.5K for Mitsubishi to change it out, bought a OEM new pump off ebay (£1599.00), together with manual bleed box, and had it done with 3 hrs (just on a set of axle stands, and a basic socket set). A far better option for me than a refurbished unit, that have reports of failing within 12 months.

I am shocked by the price of repairing pumps in your countries. if someone needs advice on repair or help make a pump write in my topic. I am doing a rebuild successfully for more than four years. and give a guarantee on their work year !!!!!!

I got mine replaced at a different dealer, no issues, no hassles, didn't even ask if I was tuned and I didn't tell them. The first time I went in I watched the tech run the diagnostics on the car where it showed an actuator issue in the pump. They didn't even say they needed to collect a fee from me before running the test. 100X's better experience than at the other dealership. I don't understand why they can't all be this way, anyway if I were to buy another Mitsubishi I'm more inclined now to buy one from this dealer.

I recommend if you get bad service at one dealer try to find another one.

This was my worse fear (I cannot believe this happened to you). I would try to find another dealership:

They cannot with good conscience say that corrosion is caused by a tune. If you continue to get trouble I would contact Mitsubishi corporate and get a file going. I would not give up; continue to fight them.
