Why does the Pajero's side slip light come on and experience weak acceleration?

It is related to severe engine carbon buildup. Go to a 4S shop to clean the internal carbon deposits in the engine, clean the fuel injectors, clean the dirty intake manifold, and remove the carbon layer on the exhaust valve. The car's anti-slip system: The car's anti-slip system is another set of anti-slip control systems following ABS, and it is a further development and supplement to the ABS system. Main purpose of the anti-slip system: The main purpose of the anti-slip system is to prevent the drive wheels from slipping when the vehicle starts and accelerates, effectively maintaining the stability of the car's driving direction. Slip control is kept within a certain range to prevent the slipping wheels from rapidly sliding and causing the car to lose direction. Functions of the anti-slip system: The functions of the anti-slip system are to improve the car's traction and to maintain the car's driving stability. When the car turns, the drive wheels will not slip, preventing the car from veering to one side.
I've been driving a Pajero for several years and have encountered situations where the skid light comes on accompanied by a lack of power. This is quite common. Possible causes include dirt on the wheel speed sensor causing errors, or the ABS system malfunctioning. At the same time, the lack of power is often due to fuel supply issues, such as a clogged fuel filter, an aging fuel pump, or a throttle body clogged with dirt restricting air intake. The Pajero's off-road characteristics make it easy for mud to get into the wheel speed sensors, causing unstable signals that trigger the electronic stability system to intervene and limit speed, making the car feel underpowered. I suggest first checking the sensor connectors and getting them cleaned at a roadside shop. If that doesn't work, you should test the fuel pressure. Last time, it took me a long time to figure out it was a faulty pump, and replacing it solved the problem, though it delayed my mountain trip for several days. Don't ignore such warning signals on your car—fixing them early saves regret later.
