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 and passenger (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 may have to be removed/installed in connection with SRS service or
maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk (*).

*1: Code No.27 and 81 are erased from the memory if the condition returns to normal.
*2: For code Nos.51, 53, 55 and 74, a diagnosis code will be set in ten seconds after a failure is detected.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DIAGNOSIS CODE
Code No. 27 SC-ECU power supply system (abnormal
voltage drop)Probable cause
This diagnosis code will be set if the SC-ECU power supply voltage drops below
a certain level.DMalfunction of battery
DMalfunction of harness or connector
DMalfunction of the SC-ECU
Caution
If the system voltage drops during inspection, this code will be output to indicate a current problem.
And correct problem diagnosis will not be possible. Before carrying out the following procedure,
check the battery and recharge it if necessary.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
OPERATION TEST OF MITSUBISHI SC
1. Connect the MUT-
IIto the 16-pin diagnosis connector.
Caution
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position
when connecting and disconnecting the MUT-
II.
2. Move the shift lever to the neutral
lever to the P range.
3. Start the engine.
4. Use the MUT-
IIto activate the Actuator Test (item No.05)
while depressing the accelerator pedal fully. Check that
the engine speed should decrease gradually.
Caution
Activate the Actuator Test for three seconds.
Release the accelerator pedal immediately after the
Actuator Test is complete, or the engine speed will
rise.
NOTE
During the Actuator Test, the SC-ECU transmits the signal,
which requests no torque and wide open throttle, to the
engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU for three seconds.
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR (FR) CHECK
Refer to Basic Manual GROUP 35B - On-vehicle service.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR CHECK
Refer to Basic Manual GROUP 54A - Combination Meter.

TURBOCHARGER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
1. Check the internal surface, the eye bolt and the
mating surface of the oil pipe and water pipe for
clogging, and clean if necessary.
2. If deposits of carbon are accumulated on the
turbocharger oil passage, remove them and clean
using the compressed air.
Caution
Be careful not to allow foreign material to enter the
turbocharger.
3. Add clean engine oil through the oil feed pipe port
on the turbocharger.
INSPECTION
TURBOCHARGER ASSEMBLY CHECK
DVisually check the turbine wheel and the compressor
wheel for cracking or other damage.
DCheck whether the turbine wheel and the compressor
wheel can be easily turned by hand.
DCheck for oil leakage from the turbocharger assembly.
DCheck whether or not the waste gate valve remains open.
If any problem is found, replace the part after disassembly.
OIL PIPE AND OIL RETURN PIPE CHECK
Check the oil pipe and oil return pipe for clogging, bending,
or other damage. If there is clogging, clean it.
EXHAUST MANIFOLD CHECK
Damage or cracking of any part.
