1999 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION VI led

SRS – Air Bag Modules and Clock Spring52B-29
BCLOCK SPRING INSTALLATION
Align the mating marks of the clock spring and, after turning
the front wheels to the straight-ahead position, install the
clock spring to the column switch.
Mating Mark Alignment
Turn the clock spring clockwise fully, and then turn back it
approx. 3 4/5 turns counterclockwise to align the mating marks.
Caution
If the clock spring’s mating marks are not properly aligned,
the steering wheel may not be completely rotational during
a turn, or the flat cable within the clock spring may be
severed, obstructing normal operation of the SRS and
possibly leading to serious injury to the vehicle’s driver.
CSTEERING WHEEL INSTALLATION
1. Before installation the steering wheel, be sure to first
turn the vehicle’s front wheels to the straight-ahead
position and align the mating marks of the clock spring.
Caution
Be sure when installing the steering wheel, that the
harness of the clock spring does not become caught
or tangled.
2. After clamping, turn the steering wheel all the way in
both directions to confirm that steering is normal.
DPOST-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
1. Turn the steering wheel lightly to the left and right to
check if it can be operated properly without any
abnormality.
2. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
3. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.
4. Does the “SRS” warning lamp illuminate for about 7
seconds, and then remain extinguished for at least 5
seconds after turning OFF?
5. If yes, SRS system is functioning properly.
If no, consult page 52B-6.

WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING!
(1) The service 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.
(2) When removing or installing the components indicated in the table of contents by an astarisk (*), use utmost care so
as not to apply any strong shock to SRS components.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: SRS-ECU, 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 (*).

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL – Battery54-4
CHARGING
1. When charging a battery while still installed in the vehicle,
disconnect the battery cables to prevent damage to
electrical parts.
2. The current normally used for charging a battery should
be approximately 1/10th of the battery capacity.
3. When performing a quick-charging due to lack of time,
etc., the charging current should never exceed the battery
capacity as indicated in amperes.
4. Determining if charging is completed.
(1) If the specific gravity of the battery fluid reaches
1.250–1.290 and remains constant for at least one
hour.
(2) If the voltage of each cell reaches 2.5–2.8 V and
remains constant for at least one hour.
Caution
1. Be careful since the battery fluid level may rise
during charging.
2. Keep all sources of fire away while charging
because there is a danger of explosion.
3. Be careful not to do anything that could generate
sparks while charging.
4. When charging is completed, replace the battery
caps, pour clean water over the battery to remove
any sulfuric acid and dry.

to the “ACC” position.
2. Using a cross-tip (+) screwdriver (small) or a similar tool,
push the lock pin of the steering lock cylinder inward
and then remove the steering lock cylinder.

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL – Headlamp54-34
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
HEADLAMP AIMING
Bring the vehicle in the following conditions before aiming
the headlamp.

Check the tires for inflation pressure. Pump them up if
necessary to the labeled pressure level.

Set the vehicle unladen on a level floor.

Place one person (approximately 55 kg) on the driver’s
seat.

Maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/min to keep the
battery in the charged condition.
1. Position the tester so that its converging lens faces the
fog lamp center to center at a distance of 10 m.
NOTE
Measure the center of the fog lamp as shown.
A: 572.5 mm (from the center of the vehicle body)
B: 360 mm
2. Remove the fog lamp bezel, and using the aiming
adjustment screw, aim the fog lamp to the standard value.
NOTE
The horizontal direction is non-adjustable. If the beam
axis deviation exceeds the standard value, check the
fog lamp to determine if it is installed out of position and
correct if necessary.
