Vehicle

Mitsubishi Mirage

The city car, built to a very low complexity and sold widely in emerging markets. From 2012 a three-cylinder engine and a short module list make it one of the more straightforward cars to work through, and the CVT is the part most of its stored codes concern. The 1996-2002 Mirage is a different car — a larger saloon and coupé with the 4G15 and 4G93 fours, sold as the Lancer in most markets, and the place to look for it is Lancer information of the same years.

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
