2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR warning

Such shorts can damage fuses or components and may cause a second
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to set, making diagnosis of original problem
more difficult. Never use an analog volt/ohm meter or test light in place of a Digital Volt/Ohm
Meter (DVOM). Use only a DVOM with a maximum test current of 2 mA
(milliamps) at minimum range of resistance measurement. If SRS is not fully functional for any reason, DO NOT drive vehicle until
system is repaired and fully functional. DO NOT remove bulbs, modules,
sensors, or other components or in any way disable system from operating
normally. If SRS is not functional, park vehicle until repairs are made.
DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM To disable system, turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable. Shield cable
end with electrical tape. Wait at least 60 seconds before servicing air bag system.
To activate system, reconnect negative battery cable. Check system operation. See SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
.
DISPOSAL PROCEDURES DEPLOYED AIR BAG OR SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER Place deployed component in a strong plastic bag and seal tightly. Dispose of
component as you would any other part. No other special disposal procedure is
required. UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG OR SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
WARNING:Accidental air bag deployment is possible. Personal
injury may result. Read and follow all WARNINGS
and AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
before
working on air bag system or related components.
NOTE: Undeployed air bag modules must be deployed before
disposal. Disposing of an undeployed air bag may violate
federal, state and/or local laws. This also applies to vehicles
that are to be scrapped.

WARNING:Air bag modules and seat belt pretensioners make
loud noises during deployment. Air bag module and
seat belt pretensioner deployment could cause
personal injury. Always deploy components
outdoors and away from people. Never deploy air
bag modules with trim cover face down.
NOTE: If vehicle is to be scrapped, perform On-vehicle
deployment. See ON
-VEHICLE DEPLOYMENT
. If vehicle
will continue to be operated, perform Off-vehicle
Deployment. See OFF
-VEHICLE DEPLOYMENT
.
NOTE: Driver-side and passenger-side air bag modules will be

1. Turn ignition on. If AIR BAG warning light comes on for 7 seconds and then
goes off, SRS is functioning properly. If AIR BAG warning light does not
function as described, turn ignition off. If AIR BAG warning light malfunction
or scan tool communication problems are encountered, diagnose malfunction
using appropriate table. SeeSCAN TOOL COMMUNICATION
SYMPTOMS (SINGLE
-STAGE AIR BAG SYSTEMS)
and SCAN TOOL
COMMUNICATION SYMPTOMS (DUAL

2. Utilizing a laptop computer, check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) by
connecting Scan Tool (MB991958) to Data Link Connector (DLC), located
under left side of instrument panel, using Vehicle Communication Interface
(MB991824), USB Cable (MB991827) and Main Harness (MB991911). See
Fig. 18
. Turn ignition on and follow instructions provided with scan tool.
