The Mitsubishi Mighty Max refers to a compact pickup truck manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors and first sold to the United States in 1982. The Mitsubishi Mighty Max can develop operational problems that negatively impact its operation, but they can often be detected and resolved via some basic troubleshooting checks.

Stalling

  • The Mitsubishi Mighty Max can stall intermittently if it contains a faulty ECM, or engine control module This is the part of the vehicle that receives information from various sensors and then transmits signals to the timing, fuel injection system and other components to ensure optimal engine performance. A malfunctioning or faulty ECM may not send out the proper signals, resulting in stalling. The driver should replace the ECM to restore proper engine performance.

Broken Seat Belt Button

  • Seat belt buckle buttons can develop cracks and break, resulting in the inability to buckle the seat belt and/or release it. Replacing the buckle assembly typically restores proper seat belt function.

Broken Shaft Assembly

  • The shaft assembly or clutch fork on a Mitsubishi Mighty Max can break because of defects or vibrations, causing clutch operation failure. The driver should replace the damaged clutch fork and/or shaft assembly to correct the problem.
