WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING!
(1) Improper service or maintenance of any component of the SRS, or any SRS-related component, can lead to personal
injury or death to service personnel (from inadvertent firing of the air bag) or to the driver (from rendering the SRS
inoperative).
(2) Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
(3) MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B ± Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of the SRS or any SRS-related
component.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: impact sensors, SRS diagnosis unit, SRS warning lamp, air bag module, clock spring
and interconnecting wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be removed/installed in connection with SRS service
or maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk (*).

NOTE
(1) *: If the vehicle condition returns to normal, the diagnosis code will be automatically erased, and the SRS warning
lamp will return to normal.
(2) If the vehicle has a discharged battery it will store the fault codes 41 or 42. When these diagnosis codes are displayed,
check the battery.

SRS ± Post-collision Diagnosis52B-19
POST-COLLISION DIAGNOSIS52400110154
To inspect and service the SRS after a collision (whether
or not the air bag has deployed), perform the following steps.
SRS DIAGNOSIS UNIT MEMORY CHECK
1. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector (16-pin).
Caution
Turn off the ignition switch before connecting or
disconnecting the MUT-II.
2. Read (and write down) all displayed diagnosis codes.
(Refer to P. 52B-6.)
NOTE
If the battery power supply has been disconnected or
disrupted by the collision, the MUT-II cannot communicate
with the SRS diagnosis unit. Inspect and, if necessary,
repair the body wiring harness before proceeding further.
3. Read the data list (fault duration and how many times
memories are erased) using the MUT-II.
