Hi guys im new to the club forum. Our problem is we have a 2004 tl wagon that when u drive the air con stops working at certain revs and the antilock brake light comes on. Then when u return to idle the light goes off and the aircon resumes working again. The car has factory lpg.. Could it be the body control module ? Shes done 460000km and is an ex taxi. Has anybody come across a problem like this? Help !!!

Welcome to the forum!
Probably unrelated problems. Get the aircon gassed up - should be a sticker under the bonnet if its been done since the car was new - and clean the ABS sensors on all 4 wheels, check sensor to rotor clearances too. Then try it again. If that doesn't help, see a Mitsu dealer who can plug in the diagnostic tools to see what error codes there are.
At 460,000 km she would be a pretty tired car. I hope the previous owner has kept up with the problems that appeared during that time. lol I have seen the odd ex taxi high Km advertised and unless its cheap and has a detailed service history I would be hesitant in buying one.
I would be checking driveshafts for play and split boots, steering rack for leaks and trans fluid for condition, ball joints and rotors for wear, etc
Can't help you with the problem but welcome- and 460,000kms is a fair innings!

Not for a taxi, if it is on the road 24 hours a day, never gets to cool down and gets serviced regularly. You have to wonder about driveshafts, gearbox, suspension and brakes though.
