Flashing orange LC light on Pajero MN 2000 Diesel - Help

find a mechanic who has a clue and a diagnostic computer which actually reads the error codes.
I have a Tech II for my truck and when I have a diagnostic light coming on I know within seconds what is wrong with it. Diagnostic computers should be a compulsory part of any modern car, just like a fire extinguisher and a portable warning light, but as long as people keep buying cars without the request for the required tools nothing will change.
good luck

The only flashing light I have experienced in my '04 NP Paj is the 'Active Stability' lamp on a couple of trips in the middle of nowhere - took me a while to work out the rear left tyre was a bit lighter on tread than the other side. Only happens when the van is hooked on. Very conscious of the need for good tread since.

What is the 'LC' light please?

It's the centre diff lock light. It will flash and at the same time extinguish all other wheel lights when it detects a fault with the SuperSelect II system. Most common faults are one of the 6 shift rail position sensors in the top cover of the transfer case, the vacuum feed & switches for the front diff actuator, the front diff engage sensor, the transfer & transmission wiring loom (usually just gets dirty or wet) or at worst (and a lot less likely) a binding transfer shift rail - usually from lack of use.

Come over to the pajeroclub.com.au forums - there are quite a few threads on variations of this fault.

By the way - a generic fault coder reader will not help you diagnose it. Only a Mitsubishi MUTT will talk to the transfer case ECU across the CAN BUS. And it gives a wealth of information on the system. A decent tech should be able to see via the sensors what's not engaging or moving.
