Mitsubishi Mirage U0131 Fault Code: Electric Power Steering Not Working
My Mitsubishi Mirage is experiencing a failure in the electric power steering system, triggered by fault code U0131. The vehicle shows no response from the power steering assist when turning, making driving difficult and unsafe. This issue has been reported with several models of the Mitsubishi Mirage, particularly those equipped with electronic power steering systems. The U0131 diagnostic code typically indicates a communication failure between the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) and the vehicle's network system.
The most common causes for setting of fault code U0131 in Mitsubishi Mirage vehicles include: - Open circuit in the CAN bus (+ or -) - Short to power in either CAN bus circuit - Short to ground in either CAN bus circuit - Open power or ground connection to the PSCM module (most frequent cause) - Rarely, a faulty control module For troubleshooting guidance and further details, refer to official diagnostic resources: u0131
