PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)M1001011600056
1. Items to review when servicing SRS:
(1) Be sure to read GROUP 52B, Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS). For safe operation,
please follow the directions and heed all
warnings.
(2) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting
the battery cable before doing any further
work. The SRS system is designed to retain
enough voltage to deploy the air bag even
after the battery 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.
(3) Warning labels must be heeded when
servicing or handling SRS components.
Warning labels can be found in the following
locations.
Front impact sensor
Hood
Sun visor
Instrument panel (passenger ’s side)
SRS-ECU
Steering wheel
Clock spring
Air bag module (Driver's or front
passenger's)
Side-airbag module (Driver's side or front
passenger's side)
Side impact sensor
Seat belt pre-tensioner
(4) Always use the designated special tools and
test equipment.(5) Store components removed from the SRS in a
clean and dry place. The air bag module
should be stored on a flat surface and placed
so that the pad surface is facing upward.
(6) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the
SRS components (SRS-ECU, air bag module
and clock spring). If there is a defect, replace
the defective part.
(7) Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check
the SRS warning light operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.
(8) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing
of the air bag module or disposing of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag (Refer to GROUP
52B, Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures
P.52B-254).
2. Observe the following when carrying out
operations on places where SRS components are
installed, including operations not directly related
to the SRS air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts, do not allow
any impact or shock to occur to the SRS
components.
(2) If heat damage may occur during paint work,
remove the SRS-ECU, the air bag module,
clock spring, the front impact sensor, the side
impact sensor, and the seat belt pre-tensioner.

5. SPARK PLUGS (REPLACE)M1001002000346
Iridium plugs are used. Use care not to damage the iridium
tips of the plugs. Do not adjust the spark plug gap.
1. Spark plugs must spark properly to assure proper engine
performance and reduce exhaust emission level. Therefore,
they should be replaced periodically with new ones( Refer to
Maintainence Schedule).
Spark plug type
2. The new plugs should be checked for the proper gap.
Spark plug gap: 1.0
1.1 mm
3. Install the spark plugs and tighten to 25
5 Nm (18 4
ft-lb).
6. TIMING BELT (REPLACE)M1001002300273
Replace the belt with a new one according to the vehicle main-
tenance schedule to assure proper engine performance.

The temperature of the surface of the belt should be as
close as possible to underhood temperature.
Do not let any contaminants such as water or oil get
onto the microphone.
If strong gusts of wind blow against the microphone or
if there are any loud sources of noise nearby, the val-
ues measured by the microphone may not correspond
to actual values.
If the microphone is touching the belt while the mea-
surement is being made, the values measured by the
microphone may not correspond to actual values.
Do not take the measurement while the vehicle's engine
is running.
5. Hold special tool MB991668 (microphone) to the middle of
the drive belt between the pulleys (at the place indicated by
the arrow), about 10
20 mm (0.4 0.8 inch) away from the
rear surface of the belt and so that it is perpendicular to the
belt (within an angle of
15 degree angle).
6. Gently tap the middle of the belt between the pulleys (the
place indicated by the arrow) with your finger as shown in
the illustration, and check that the vibration frequency of the
belt is within the standard value.
Standard value:
NOTE: Because the frequency depends on the belt material,
confirm Part No. shown on the reverse of the belt.

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.

MAINTENANCE SERVICE
GENERAL00-55
The SRS may not activate if any of the above compo-
nents are not installed properly, which could result in
serious injury or death to the vehicle's driver and
front passenger.
11.Check the steering wheel for excessive free play.
Replace any part if it fails visual inspection (Refer to
GROUP 52B, Air Bag Module and Clock Spring P.52B-237).
FRONT SEATBACK ASSEMBLY WITH
SIDE-AIRBAG MODULE
If any improper part is found during the following
inspection, replace the front seatback assembly
with a new one.
Dispose of the old one according to the specified
procedure (Refer to GROUP 52B, Air Bag Module
Disposal Procedures P.52B-254).
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of
the air bag module (squib) even if you are using
the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is mea-
sured with a tester, accidental air bag deployment
will result in serious personal injury.
1. Check the air bag module deployment section for dents or
deformation.
2. Check the connector for damage; Check the terminals for
deformation; and check the harness for binding.
Replace the front seat if it fails the visual checks above
(Refer to GROUP 52A, Front Seat P.52A-33).
SEAT BELT WITH PRE-TENSIONER
If the seat belt pre-tensioner is not installed
securely and correctly, the seat belt pre-tensioner
may not operate normally.
If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected,
replace with a new seat belt pre-tensioner.
1. Check the seat belt pre-tensioner for dents or deformation.
2. Check that the seat belt pre-tensioner is installed correctly to
the vehicle body.
Replace the seat belt pre-tensioner if it fails the visual
checks above (Refer to GROUP 52B, Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner P.52B-250).
