Mitsubishi Repair: Speedo Trans Display, Cruise Control not Working digital display flashes 5 on 2003 Magna Wagon ES, magna wagon, digital trip

Question
Hi, the speedo, transmission display and cruise control have stopped working on my 2003 Magna ES Wagon (Tiptronic). The digital trip computer display shows "5".  In low gear the engine labours to move the car and the exhaust fumes smell very rich, once the car gets above 30k/h the car is fine. I have checked all the fuses and they are all fine, any idea on what the trouble is?

Thanks in advance

Ken

Answer
Ken,
It sounds like your transmission is in "limp mode".  This happens when the computer detects a problem and prevents it from revving too quickly.  It would be best to have a transmission shop or the dealership inspect the computer and transmission to find the problem.
Good luck!
