Not sure where you are from but if you check in the "Canada" forums there are LOTS of us who have our pumps blow every winter... That "re-flash" does sweet F%@$ all... they need to run thinner oil.

So I recently got a warning light for my SWAC system on the car and went the a friend that works for mitsu, the light was for code C161E. He told me mitsu send out a reflash that is supposed to fix this problem. He said it was a cold weather issue where the pump has issues with viscosity and the flash is supposed to help with this issue. I didn't get my first light till around 40k km and I like spirited driving in the winter, -5C to -30C.
I'm told this is a "general" warranty item so I'm SOL but I figured I should share.
On a side note, I see a recall in mitsus' future.
Obviously this is only relevant to people in cold climates.
Mitsubishi should cover it even if out of warranty as per what our local dealer told me. There is a special instruction due to the extent of the issue. Make them call HQ.
