Problem overview

Some Mitsubishi Outlander Sport owners report experiencing frequent compressor short cycling, which can lead to noise and distraction while driving. This issue may stem from low or overcharged refrigerant levels, causing the compressor to cycle on and off unexpectedly. Additionally, a malfunctioning compressor that operates improperly can contribute to this problem. Owners may also encounter issues related to components such as the cabin air filter, condenser or evaporator coils, blower motor, fuse, or relay, all of which can exacerbate the short cycling. To resolve these concerns, it is recommended that owners have their AC system inspected and serviced by a qualified technician to diagnose and address the underlying causes.
