PO 421 Error Code by ruddneck
Mar 24, 2009 (4:31 am)
Reply
The check engine light came on my 2001 Montero Sport. I borrowed an OBD II from AutoZone and the code I retrieved was PO 421 Warm Up Catalyst Below Threshold (Bank 1). I'm guessing this is an issue with the catalytic converter and that it'll need to be replaced in the near future, but does anyone have any experience with this error code? Thanks!

As in Other Posts about Anti Lock Braking light turning on and going out after i turn the engine off and on>>> on my Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2001XLS when I use the 4WD gear. After driving in 4WD for a short period during the summer. The past couple of years, I did not have to use 4WD at all, but the other day when I decided to use it I had some issues. First, I drove around for a little while and then the indicator started lighting up partially and soon it came on flashing and when out. Then, I made a stop and then started again without changing the 4WD drive. Now, though, the 4WD indicator came up,continues to flash. but also the Anti Lock Braking light came on and stayed. When I disengage the 4WD gear and go back to the 2WD gear, the Anti Lock Braking light goes off...
  
I was wondering ??? i've seen the similar problem that other people are having. DO you or anyone have an idea about what is going on. I had tires and brakes replaced on my SUV , But still have the problem.... HELP
  
Any help is greatly appreciated.

2000 montero sport horn problem by randy10589

I have a 2000 Montero Sport. When I goto start it the horn goes off. I found a blown fuse in a fuse holder by the fuse box on the drivers side. I have no idea what the fuse is for. I think that it was a 10amp. I can turn off the car and then I have to push the panic button to shut it off. The car runs fine but I did have to pull the fuse for the horn. This is eriving me crazy. I did send away for the shop manual but still cannot find the fuse.

Noises on first start up by jakenbake10

I recently bought a 2002 Montero XLS Sport. 71,000K. Clean as a whistle & looks to be in prime condition. On first start of the day or after sitting for 2 to 3 hrs it is a little clattery and has a bit of winding noise at low speed. Both sounds go away within a minute or less. Fluids are topped off & outside temperature is not low. Since I am new to Mitsubishi's and want to catch any problems before they get serious, I would appreciate feedback from others on what their Montys sound like at first start.

My Montero does the same thing. When I took it to Mitsubishi, they told me it was the fan. Apparently it's because of the way the timing is set on it. I was also told it wouldn't be worth fixing considering it wouldn't do any damage to the car...

I have a 1999 Montero Sport - Same problem - Battery/Brake light comes on intermittently.
This happened 2 months ago and my battery exploded. I called AAA. They checked everything, told me the battery was bad and so was the alternator. They took me to NTB to get it fixed. NTB says only battery was bad and so it exploded, and they replaced it. They did not find anything wrong with alternator. They said they tested it, and it works fine.
 
No lights for a few months. Now the lights are coming back on. When I rev the engine to 6000RPM + the sensor lights go off, then if the RPMs go below 3000, the lights come back on. Sometimes the ilghts wont come on for a few weeks, but then back at it...
 
Its going to be winter and I dont want to be stranded with kids. NOW... I have the car at Firestone. Waiting for results...
Will keep posted.

All firestone could find was a loose wing nut connector to the battery terminal. They replaced this, and sent me on my way - we'll see if the Brake/Battery light comes back to haunt me.
 
Luckily they warranty their 'work' ($30) fee for 12 months from today incase this comes back.
 
Thats it for now
 
 I know its tough to maintain a 10/12 yr old vehicle... but at the end of the day... it sure beats a $30,000 bill for a new 'problem free'
alternative.
Best regards and GOOD LUCK everyone !
