1991 Mitsubishi Galant Problems
Airbags may not deploy as expected
There have been reports of airbags not deploying in the event of a frontal impact. Some claim that a shorted airbag wire harness can cause this to occur. Unfortunately there is no diagnoses that will isolate this problem other than fault codes stored in the airbag control module. Our technicians recommend to have any airbag light issues diagnosed and repaired in order to help ensure the airbags will deploy when needed.
Seat Belts May Not Retract
The seat belts may not properly retract due to an internal fault with the retractor mechanism. Replacement of the seat belt retractor would be required to correct this concern.
Engine Stalling Due to Failed Idle Air Control Valve
The engine may develop a low idle or stalling condition due to a failed idle air control valve. Our technicians tell us the replacement of the faulty valve is required to correct this condition.
The automatic transmission may fail prematurely
The automatic transmission may fail prematurely. Transmission overhaul or replacement may be necessary to correct this concern.
Varoius Dirveability Concerns Due to Failed PCM
The powertrain control module (PCM) may fail causing various driveability concerns. Replacement of the PCM is generally required to correct these issues.
