Mitsubishi Mirage P1590/P1797: investigate a diagnostic-port tracking device. See the manufacturer document, vehicle conditions, exclusions and questions for a qualified shop before assuming a repair.
This is a research summary of a manufacturer communication, not a diagnosis for your car, a DIY repair procedure or confirmation of warranty or recall eligibility. No qualified technician has approved a repair for your individual vehicle here.
This historical communication is conditional. The current revision, VIN/build eligibility, measured diagnosis and any warranty or recall decision are not established here. Ask the manufacturer or a qualified shop to check the complete current document.

What prompted this manufacturer document
- Listed codes while a tracking device occupies the diagnostic connector
- Tech Talk identifies a plugged-in tracking device as a possible source of this code combination on the specified Mirage cohort.
Which vehicle conditions must be checked
Each row below retains its own conditions. Do not combine engines, years or models across rows to create new applications. A listed model is not proof that a particular VIN is affected.
- Mitsubishi Mirage · 2014, 2015
- Device type and removal authorization are vehicle-specific; a tracking device is not proven defective by its presence alone.
Codes recorded in this document
A root listed only as an appearance has no separately verified meaning here. Preserve every suffix and module name; a shared root does not transfer a repair branch to another vehicle.
| Root | Raw form | Meaning in this source, if established |
|---|---|---|
| P1590 | P1590 | TCM-to-ECM torque-reduction communication concern in this case |
| P1797 | P1797 | G-sensor/brake-pressure malfunction indication in this case |
What an owner can record safely
- Photograph device label without exposing personal tracking data
- Record codes before service
- Check fleet/lease ownership and device-removal permission
Editorial safety boundary for this system
Smoke, hot wiring, melted fuse area, stalling or loss of vehicle control requires stopping and assistance.
- Use current model-specific service information, calibrated equipment and a qualified technician for the selected diagnostic branch.
- Do not bridge fuses, increase fuse rating, probe unknown high-current circuits, or permanently disable telematics.
This is a conservative editorial policy, not a manufacturer safe-to-drive decision for a specific vehicle.
What the source does not prove
- Do not replace the transmission controller or a brake sensor solely from this device-associated report.
- A code or message alone does not establish a failed part, a safe-to-drive decision or an approved repair for this VIN.
- A service bulletin is not automatically a recall or free warranty repair. Confirm current eligibility directly.
Questions for the repair shop
- Which current manufacturer procedure, VIN/RPO/build gate and test result determine the diagnostic branch?
- Does a later revision or a current recall change the source's original advice?
- What measurement or inspection confirms the cause, and how will the repair be verified?
