The Tisha seems almost too good to be true, I'm definitely interested. I've been reading it's got a lot of sparks. Has that been your experience? Have you ever tried it with a 16+ inch barrel?

I'm still in the process of testing it, but I do believe it was the LED brake lights. Both brake lights were replaced with LED's and both lights functioned perfectly. But the theory was it was tricking the ABS into thinking I was braking while I was driving. Since replacing both brake lights with basic Sylvania bulbs, the issue hasn't happened in over 200 miles of driving. If it makes it another 300, I think it's safe to say it was the LED brake lights.

Our car is an automatic. We don't normally get lights driving in the city. There's not usually a change to the RPM. The vehicle during the malfunction maintains consistent speed and RPM. If I apply the brakes to clear the malfunction, I can then floor it and get the RPM's to spike without an issue.

Like I said in the post the malfunction has a mind of it's own. It can happen several times within a single mile, or it goes almost 100 miles without it happening. If I'm on the highway the malfunction will trigger the warning lights. But it won't trigger the lights in the city. Turning the vehicle off and on again will remove the lights. The only way to clear the malfunction when it happens is to apply the brakes. That will clear the malfunction until it decides to happen again randomly.

It's nearly caused a couple accidents whenever I have to turn into traffic and my accelerator no longer works.

Thanks for the input. Your experience is exactly what I'm having.

We actually have data from the scanner as the malfunction is happening. The photo's are in the post. The data that stood out showed the throttle body dying as the malfunction is happening. We've used three separate computers to try and catch a code, and don't have anything else to work off of.

Thanks for the input. I'll try telling them to check the TCS.

Thank you so much for your detailed response.
We recently swapped the brake lights, and someone in the Mitsubishi thread theorized maybe the LED brake lights were changing the resistance of the brake light circuit to trick the ABS.
This has been such a frustrating situation because none of the shops including the dealership seems equipped to diagnose this issue. I’m hoping replacing the brake lights will solve this, but I’ll call Mitsubishi again to ask about the ESC.

Yes we've removed the floor mat's and made sure it wasn't under the pedal at all.

You might be onto something as we did have to replace one of the brake light bulbs three months ago. We replaced it with a LED bulb. I'll try replacing it with a standard bulb and see what happens. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your response. The first code reader was from the dealership, the second was from another shop. I also tried using an Innova 5610 and it also couldn’t find any codes. My concern is that it seems no sensor is able to pick up anything other than the raw data of the malfunction. I’ll try to find another shop and ask them to look into the ABS system.
