ok so i have a 2008 Outlander that keeps turning its four drive on and i wont be able to change it until i switch the engine off, and as soon as i start to drive in two wheel drive it changes again to four wheel, this only started to happen after i sent it to the mechanic to change the tires, and the tires were place on the rear wheels but there abit larger than fronts could that cause it??? please help

 

Trying to understand your story here. So you start you car when the car is suppose to be at 2WD mode, but it displays at 4WD mode even if the switch is on 2WD correct?
Anything the mechanic has done besides switching tires? I assume he did a tire rotation only?

 

it starts out in 2wd and after you start to drive for awhile it switches it self into 4wd and when that happens you cant use the dail to change to either 2wd or 4wd or 4wd lock, however if i stop and switch off the engine it starts back in 2wd and after a moment of driving the cycles starts again

 

What are the size of the Front AND Rear tire presently installed on your car?

The user manual say that for a 4WD Outlander all 4 tires need to be the same size, type, Brand and wear level. Otherwise this put strain on the various differential and clutch in the transfer case.

I suspect this is your problem and the computer is turning on the rear wheels in order to cool the transfer case.

Your mechanic should have known better.

Finally Mitsubishi recommend you change all 4 tires at the same time even if you destroy just one, unless the other ones have minimal wear or you find one with the same wear level.

Same (marked) size tire from different brands are always different in actual measurements.

 

well i finally fix the problem it had to do with the tires at the back being bigger so it was causing all these problems, now i would love it if someone could help me out with a user manual please
