2005 MITSUBISHI 380 Ignition

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-97
Door ajar warning buzzer
The buzzer is sounded 4 times by the ETACS-ECU to warn the
driver if any door is open when the ignition is switched ON and
the vehicle speed reaches 8 km/h (5 mph) or faster. The buzzer
will continue to sound for 4 times even if the ignition, door sta-
tus, or vehicle speed requirements are not maintained.
NOTE: The warning buzzer can be customized on vehicles
equipped with a multi center display. Refer to P.54B-486.
Multi center display operation tone center display >
The ETACS-ECU sounds the buzzer when the buzzer signal is
sent from the center display.
Turn-signal lamp buzzer
The ETACS-ECU sounds the buzzer in sync with the turn-sig-
nal lamps or hazard warning lamps.
NOTE: The turn-signal lamp buzzer can be customized on
vehicles equipped with a multi center display (middle grade
type). Refer to P.54B-486.
