WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This operation is performed for the following reasons and is not a malfunction.

ASC-ECU calculates the estimated temperature of the brake pad. In general, as the brake pad temperature increases, the coefficient of friction for the brake pad becomes smaller, resulting in the reduced braking force. When the estimated temperature of the brake pad reaches the specified value or more, ASC-ECU flashes the ASC OFF light at a rate of 2 Hz to warn the driver that the brake controllability by TCL is decreased by the reduced braking force. Consequently, ASC-ECU prohibits the TCL control (brake control only) until it determines that the estimated temperature of the brake pad is normal.
