WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING
•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 and
paassenger (from rendering the SRS inoperative).
•Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
•MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B - Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of the SRS or any
SRS-related component.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: SRS air bag control unit, SRS warning light, front impact sensors, air bag module,
clock spring, and interconnecting wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be removed/installed in connection
with SRS service or maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk (*).

COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
CHASSIS ELECTRICAL54A-33
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The engine-ECU and its associated components, the
combination meter assembly, the wiring harness, or
the connector(s) may be defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of the vehicle speed sensor
•Malfunction of the engine-ECU
•Malfunction of the combination meter assembly
•The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or
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?
YES :

STEP 9. Check the wiring harness between
combination meter connector C-04 (terminal 1
and 2) and earth.
Q: Are the wiring harness between combination meter
connector C-04 (terminal 1 and 2) and earth in
good condition?
YES :
This procedure is complete.
NO : Repair or replace the wiring harness. Check
to see that all meters operate.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SPEEDOMETER CHECKM1543000900423
Adjust the pressure of tyres to the specified level.
(Refer to GROUP 31, On-vehicle Service P.31-7.)
CAUTION
Do not operate the clutch suddenly. Do not
increase/decrease speed rapidly while testing.
1. Set the vehicle onto a speedometer tester and
use wheel chocks to hold the rear wheels.2. To prevent the front wheel from moving from side
to side, attach tension bars to the tie-down hook,
and secure both ends to anchor plates.
3. To prevent the vehicle from moving, attach a chain
or wire to the rear retraction hook, and make sure
the end of the chain or wire is secured.
4. Check if the speedometer indicator range is within
the standard values.
Standard value:
5. If not to the standard value, inspect for proper tyre
size. If not correct, replace the tyres with original
size tyres and retest. If correct, replace the
speedometer. If still not to standard value, replace
the vehicle speed sensor.
TACHOMETER CHECKM1543001000434
1. Attach an external high quality tachometer to the
engine speed detection connector on the harness
side (such as with a paper clip).
