Mitsubishi is a HUGE electronics firm, aircraft company, etc. as well as making cars. It's not so shocking that other companies would source some of their electronic do-dads, it's much cheaper than developing their own.

I've seen the three diamonds under the hood of at least one of my Mazdas.

i know on RX7's some alternators were from DSM (diamond star mitsubishi)... and quite a few electronics where from there as well.

As Foolish said they have lots of divisions and their electronics (specifically car electronics) has proven itself.

Also from a manufacturer perspective its easier to get that sensor/electronic part from another company and let them do the R&D and manufacturing of it. And in the event it fails or causes a catastrophe theres someone to point the finger to, someone to reclaim cash from, etc etc....

i've also noticed several sensors, valves etc. have the DSM logo it pissed me off a bit considering that i have an anti-dsm logo in my rear right window. worlds a funny place.

Uhh.. DSM doesnt stand for Diamond Star Mistubishi.. It stands for Diamond Star Motors..
