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: front impact sensors, SRS-ECU, SRS warning lamp, air bag module, clock spring and
interconnecting wiring. Other SRS-related components (that mayhave to be removed/installed in connectionwith SRS service or
maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk(*).

1. *1: If the trouble(s) are extinguished, the SRS warning lamp will go out with diagnosis code history
automatically erased.
2. *2: If the vehicle condition return to normal, the diagnosis code will be automatically erased, and
the SRS warning lamp will return to normal.
3. 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.

POST-COLLISION DIAGNOSIS
Check and service the vehicle after collision as follows
regardless of the operation of the pre-tensioner:
SRS-ECU MEMORY CHECK
The check procedure is the same as before.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
WHEN PRE-TENSIONER OPERATES IN A COLLISION.
1. Replace the following parts with new ones.
DSRS-ECU
DFront impact sensor
DSeat belt with pre-tensioner (Refer to P.52B-12.)
2. Check harnesses for binding, connectors for damage,
poor connections, and terminals for deformation.
UNDEPLOYED AIR BAGS IN LOW-SPEED COLLISION
Check the SRS-ECU and Front impact sensor and Seat belt
with pre-tensioner. If visible damage such as dents, cracks,
or deformation are found on the the SRS-ECU and Front
impact sensor and Seat belt with pre-tensioner, replace them
with new ones. Concerning parts removed for inspection,
replacement with new parts and cautions in working, refer
to INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT SERVICE.
SRS-ECU
The check procedure is the same as before.
Front impact sensor
The check procedure is the same as before.
Seat belt with pre-tensioner
1. Check the seat belt for damage or deformation.
2. Check the pre-tensioner for cracks or deformation.
3. Check that the unit is installed correctly to the vehicle
body.
