2005 MITSUBISHI LANCER ignition switch trouble shooting

IGNITION SWITCH
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-18
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2: The Ignition Key cannot be Registered.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The ignition key transponder or the immobilizer-ECU
is suspected to be defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of the ignition key
•Malfunction of immobilizer-ECU
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. MUT-II/III diagnosis code.
Q: Does diagnosis code No.11 reset?
YES :
Refer to P.54A-9.
NO : Replace the ignition key that cannot be
registered. Then re-register the encrypted
code. (Refer to P.54A-20). Verify that the
ignition key can be registered, then Go to
Step 2.
STEP 2. Retest the system.
Q: Does registered ignition key function properly?
YES :
The procedure is complete. (If no
malfunctions are found in all steps, an
intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points −
How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction
P.00-5).
NO : Replace the immobilizer-ECU.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3: Engine does not Start (Cranking but no Initial Combustion).
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the fuel injectors are not operating, there might be
a problem with the MPI system in addition to a
malfunction of the immobilizer system. It is normal for
this to occur if an attempt is made to start the engine
using a key that has not been properly registered.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of MPI system
•Malfunction of immobilizer-ECU
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. Check the system voltage.
Measure the system voltage during cranking.
Q: Is the voltage 8 volts or more?
YES :
Go to Step 2.
NO : Check the battery. Refer to P.54A-4. The
engine should start.
STEP 2. Check the immobilizer system diagnosis
code and MPI system diagnosis code.
Q: Which diagnosis code resets, the immobilizer
system diagnosis code or the MPI system
diagnosis code?
Immobilizer system diagnosis code is set :
Refer
to P.54A-9.
MPI system diagnosis code is set : Refer to
GROUP 13A, Diagnosis P.13A-15, GROUP
13B, Diagnosis P.13B-15.
No diagnosis code is set : Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Check the starting system.
Q: Does the engine start?
YES :
Go to Step 4.
NO : Refer to GROUP 13A, Diagnosis −
Symptom Chart P.13A-215, GROUP 13B,
Diagnosis − Symptom Chart P.13B-189. If
the malfunction is not resolved, replace the
immobilizer-ECU. Then register the
password (secret code) and encrypted
code. (Refer to P.54A-20.) The engine
should start.

STEP 4. Retest the system
Q: Is the malfunction eliminated?
YES :
The procedure is complete. If no
malfunction are not found in all steps, an
intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer
to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service
Points-How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction P.00-5).
NO : Replace the immobilizer-ECU.

terminals pushed back in the connector.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. MUT-II/III actuator test.
(1) Connect the MUT-II/III to the diagnosis connector.(2) Use the MUT-II/III to enter simulated vehicle
speed.
Q: Does the speedometer show that simulated vehicle
speed?
YES :
Go to Step 6.
NO : Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check the vehicle speed sensor.
(MUT-II/III diagnosis code)
(1) Connect MUT-II/III to the diagnosis connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Read the MPI system diagnosis code.
Q: Is MPI system diagnosis code P0500 set?

Features the headlamp automatic shutdown function
to avoid battery drain when the headlamps are left
on. The main features are as follows:
•Extinguishes automatically in three minutes if the
ignition switch is turned off with the lighting switch
on.
•Extinguishes in one second if the driver's door is
opened within that 3-minute period.
•If the headlamps are turned on with the ignition
switch off, the headlamps and tail lamps will
extinguish in three minutes after the driver's door
is opened or closed.
The headlamps are controlled by the Smart Wiring
System (SWS). For troubleshooting, refer to
respective Groups below.
•Not using SWS monitor: GROUP 54B, SWS

HEADLAMP AIMING
M1542000900538
PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Inspect for badly rusted or faulty headlamp
assemblies.
2. These conditions must be corrected before a
satisfactory adjustment can be made.
3. Inspect tyre inflation, and adjust if it is necessary.
4. If the fuel tank is not full, place a weight in luggage
room of the vehicle to simulate weight of a full
tank (0.8 kg per litre).
5. There should be no other load in the vehicle other
than driver or substituted weight of approximately
75 kg placed in driver's position.
6. Thoroughly clean the headlamp lenses.7. Place the vehicle on a level floor, perpendicular to
a flat screen 10 m away from the bulb
centre-marks on the headlamp lens.
8. Rock vehicle sideways to allow vehicle to assume
its normal position.
9. Bounce the front suspension through three (3)
oscillations by applying the body weight to hood
or bumper.
10.Four lines of adhesive tape (or equivalent
markings) are required on screen or wall:
(1) Position a vertical tape or mark so that it is
aligned with the vehicle centre line.
(2) Measure the distance from the centre-marks
on the headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer the
measurement to the screen. Horizontal tape or
mark on the screen is for reference of vertical
adjustment. Item Standard value Limit

Dimmer interior lamp control function
The room lamp off is delayed by ETACS-ECU. The
lamps off delay time vary according to the conditions.
The control details are as follows. The lamp delay off
Yes/NO and delay time can be set with the settings
(adjustment function). for adjustment methods and
adjustment details (post-adjustment operations).
•ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
•Not using SWS monitor: GROUP 54B,
P.54B-423.
•The room lamp lights up if the ignition switch is at
the "LOCK" (OFF) position and either of the
doors are opened (either of the door switches:
ON). At this time, if all doors are closed (all door
switches: OFF) then the lamp will gradually dim
down to lamps off in about 15 seconds.
NOTE: When the lamps are dimmed and the ignition
switch is turned ON or if the door is locked, then
the dimming operations stop and the lamps are
turned OFF.
•When the ignition switch is at the ON position and
one of the doors are opened (one of the door
switches: ON) then the room lamp will light up. At
this time, if all doors are closed (all door switches:
OFF) then the lamps will dim out.
•When the ignition key is pulled out the room lamp
lights up and then will dim out in 15 seconds. The
lamp will dim out if the ignition key is inserted
again and the door is locked while the timer is
activated.
The room lamp is controlled by the Smart Wiring
System (SWS). For troubleshooting, refer to
respective Groups below.•Not using SWS monitor: GROUP 54B, SWS
