18. SUSPENSION SYSTEM (INSPECT FOR
LOOSENESS AND DAMAGE)
M1001009600048
Visually inspect the front/rear suspension components for dete-
rioration and damage. Re-tighten the front/rear suspension
components retaining bolts to specified torque.
19. SRS AIR BAG (INSPECT FOR SRS SYSTEM)M1001003700326
The entire SRS including air bag and pre-tensioner seat belt
must be inspected by an authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORS
dealer 10 years.
SRS WARNING LIGHT CHECK
Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position. Does the
"SRS" warning light illuminate for several seconds, and then go
out? If yes, the SRS system is functioning properly. If no, refer
to GROUP 52B, Diagnosis P.52B-215.
SRS COMPONENT VISUAL CHECK
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the bat-
tery cable before doing any further work. The SRS
system is designed to retain enough voltage to
deploy the air bag for a short time even after the bat-
tery has been disconnected. Serious injury may result
from unintended air bag deployment if work is done
on the SRS system immediately after the battery
cable is disconnected.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position,
disconnect the negative battery cable and tape the terminal.
2. Remove the floor console assembly (Refer to GROUP 52A,
Floor Console P.52A-10).
3. Disconnect a connector from the SRS-ECU.

DATA LIST REFERENCE TABLEM1136003500071
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.The following items can be read by the diagnostic
tool from the ABS/TCL-ECU input data. (Refer to
P.13C-3).
NOTE: Since the TCL is controlled with the same ABS/TCL-ECU used to control the ABS, the stoplight switch
