Some Mitsubishi Outlander owners report experiencing the engine light illuminating after a timing belt change, which may indicate several potential issues. These include timing belt misalignment, where improper installation or the belt jumping teeth can lead to engine performance problems. Additionally, some owners find that sensor issues arise if sensors near the engine are damaged or disconnected during the replacement process. Electrical problems, such as damaged wiring or connectors, can also trigger the engine light. Furthermore, some Mitsubishi Outlander owners report that their front windshield wiper motors fail to function, often due to problems with the wiper motor itself or issues with the wiper switch. To address these concerns, it is recommended to inspect the wiper motor and switch, and if necessary, seek assistance from a certified mechanic for proper diagnosis and repair. Prompt attention to these issues is crucial for maintaining the vehicle's performance and safety.
