SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
(I)A Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which uses a driver-side air bag, has been installed in the 3000GT.(2)The SRS includes the following components: impact sensors, SRS diagnosis unit: SRS warning light, aiir bagmodule, clock spring, interconnecting wiring.Other SRS-related components (that may have 1:o be
removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents byan asterisk (*).
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 (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
Ei2B -Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of theSRS or any SRS-related component.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTIONIM33FHAD1. WARNING INDICATION BY ECS INDICATOR LIGHT
If a problem associated with the following items occurs, theECS indicator light (Tour Sport) in the combination light
flashes at intervals of 0.5 sec. At the same time, the
self-diagnosis code associated with the problem is outputto the diagnosis connector.
Warning Indication Items
l G sensor
l Steering angular velocity sensor
l Vehicle speed sensor
lDamping force changeover actuator (including position
detection switch)
2. SELF-DIAGNOSIS OUTPUT CHECK
(I) Check the self-diagnosis code.
(2) After the defective portion has been repaired, erase theself-diagnosis code. (If the defective portion is not
completely repaired, it may be impossible to erase the’self-diagnosis code by the MUT.)d
(3) Perform self-diagnosis output check again and checkthat the self-diagnosis code is good.

(1) Set the ignition switch to OFF.
(2) Connect the positive (+) terminal of the voltmeter to
the No. 3 terminal of the diagnosis connector beside the
junction block and connect the negative (--) terminal ofthe voltmeter to the No. 12 terminal.
(3) Set the ignition switch to ON.
(4) Read the self-diagnosis code on the basis of the
deflection of the pointer of the voltmeter.
(5) Based on the self-diagnosis code, repair the associated
defective portion.(6) Set the ignition switch to OFF.
(7) Disconnect the battery cables from the battery termi-
nals and reconnect them more than
10 seconds
thereafter.(8) Set the ignition switch to ON, perform self-diagnosis
check again, and check that the self-diagnosis code is
good.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTlilGPARTICULAR PHENOMENA OF THE
LANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMModels equipped with the anti-lock braking system
(ABS) may exhibit one or more of the following
phenomena from time to time, but none of these
are abnormal.
(1) A pulsing feeling in the brake pedal, or vibration
of the body or the steering wheel, when the
anti-lock braking system is activated by sudden
braking or by braking on a slippery road surface.
.9ctually, this phenomenon is an indication that
the anti-lock braking system is functioning nor-
mally.(2) When the vehicle speed reaches approximately
6 km/h (4 mph) after the engine is started and
the vehicle starts off (for the first time), a
whining motor noise may be heard from the
engine compartment if the vehicle is traveling in
a quiet place, but this noise is simply the result
of a self-check being made of the anti-lock
braking system operation.
TROUBLESHOOTING METHODSProblems related to the anti-lock braking system
(ABS) can be classified into two general categories:
problems in the electrical system and those in the
Lhydraulic system.For problems in the electrical system, the
self-diagnosis function is built into the electronic control
unit (E.C.U.) causing the ABS warning light to
illuminate as a warning to the driver. In this instance,
checks can be made by using the multi-use tester
and oscilloscope.
Problems in the hydraulic system (poor braking,
etc.) can be located in the same way as for ordinary
brakes. There is, however, the necessity to check to
determine whether the problem is related to ordin-
ary brake components or to the components related
to the ABS. To make this check, use the multi-use
tester.
HOW TO USE THE TROUBLESHOOTING
FLOW CHART(1) Using the flow chart, check the ABS warning
light light-up sequence. Read the diagnosis
codes and check the condition of braking opera-
tion.
(2) Following the check chart listed in the remedy
column, perform the checks. There are [Explana-
tion] and [Hint] in each check chart. Refer to
them when troubleshooting.

CHECK USING SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
(1) With the ignition switch OFF, connect the MUT through the
adapter harness
(MB9913771, turn the ignition ON and
select the ABS system. (The ABS warning light lights up, it
goes into the MUT mode. In the MUT mode, ABS does
not function.)
If it does not go into the MUT mode, check the ECU power
circuit and the harness between the ECU and diagnosis
check terminals.
(2) Read the diagnosis output codes from the ECU memory.
(3) Clear the diagnosis codes once from memory. (Refer to
P.35-12.)If the memory cannot be cleared, the ECU is currently
detecting the trouble and the ABS ECU is in fail safe. If it
can be cleared, the trouble is either temporary or appears
only when driving.
(4) When the trouble codes cannot be cleared, or when the
ABS ECU goes into fail safe during another test drive and
trouble codes are output, check according to trouble code
check charts (E-l-E-6).
