This service campaign will be conducted in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. A Service Campaign Bulletin outlining the reprogramming procedure will be available December 19, 2013 on MEDIC and MDL. In certain affected vehicles, normal Electric Throttle Valve (ETV) fluctuations may cause actual torque to exceed Permitted Torque at low engine speeds. An improper Permitted Torque threshold may then cause false MIL illumination. A software update optimizes the Permitted Torque threshold value to minimize false MIL illumination.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10174066-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10174066-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10174066","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"software","name":"Software","parent":"electrical"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"MITSUBISHI","model":"LANCER EVOLUTION","year_from":2008,"year_to":2014,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2008_mitsubishi_lancer-evolution","2009_mitsubishi_lancer-evolution","2010_mitsubishi_lancer-evolution","2011_mitsubishi_lancer-evolution","2012_mitsubishi_lancer-evolution","2013_mitsubishi_lancer-evolution","2014_mitsubishi_lancer-evolution"]},{"make":"MITSUBISHI","model":"LANCER RALLIART","year_from":2009,"year_to":2012,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2009_mitsubishi_lancer","2010_mitsubishi_lancer","2011_mitsubishi_lancer","2012_mitsubishi_lancer"]},{"make":"MITSUBISHI","model":"LANCER RALLIART","year_from":2014,"year_to":2014,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2014_mitsubishi_lancer"]},{"make":"MITSUBISHI","model":"LANCER SPORTBACK RALLIART","year_from":2009,"year_to":2011,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2009_mitsubishi_lancer-sportback","2010_mitsubishi_lancer-sportback","2011_mitsubishi_lancer-sportback"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
