SECURITY INFORMATION OBTAINMENT ERROR DURING KEY REGISTRATION  - All models with F.A.S.T., KOS, & OSS. 

When all keys are lost, a security permission file is required to gain access to the KOS system of the vehicle to program new keys. A Security Information Obtainment Error  may be encountered during key registration (see error message below).

This occurs when the downloaded security permission file (not to be confused with the Key Registration Password) for the vehicle is incorrect or corrupt.

If you run across this error using the downloaded security permission file, use the following steps to obtain a new security permission file.

1. Download the security permission file again and attempt to use it again to confirm the file is not working correctly.
2. Confirm you are seeing the error screen shown above.
3. Once the error screen is confirmed, generate a Security application  file from the vehicle. This file will be used to obtain a new security permission file.

   Depending on the vehicle, this is done by either clicking on the "generate file"  button at the bottom of the screen, or by returning to a previous screen and clicking on the "Security appli. File generate"  button. The file generated will automatically go into a folder in the scan tool.

4. Once the Security Application file has been generated, open a new Techline case for this vehicle.
5. Contact the MEDIC hotline (1-800-846-7575) to retrieve the file from the scan tool. Have MEDIC hotline attach the file to the Techline case and email it to: mmnatechline@mmsa.com. 

   Example of a generated security permission file name:  ML32F4FJ5HHF10149_161122_01.pwf

6. Call Techline (1-800-446-6064) to inform them of the case and the need for a new security permission file for the vehicle.
7. Techline will obtain a new permission file from MMC and attach it to the Techline case.
8. Techline will contact the dealership and alert the technician that the new security permission file is available.
9. The technician then should contact MEDIC hotline to have them transfer the new security permission file from the Techline case to the proper MUT scantool folder.
10. Proceed with key registration.

√ WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP LEAKING AT FITTINGS  - 2013-15 Outlander Sport/RVR, 2014-15 Outlander. 

If you find leakage at the washer pump forward of the right front tire, or the washer is inoperative, check if the washer pump fluid inlet/outlet assembly has become dislodged from the pump (refer to service manual GROUP 51 - EXTERIOR  -> Windshield Wiper and Washer, for information). Confirm if the o-rings on the pump outlets are in place. If o-rings are missing, it is NOT necessary to replace the entire washer pump.

Though not available from your facing PDC, suitable replacements can be sourced locally using o-rings made of EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, with in I.D. of 4.8 mm and a material cross section of 1.9 mm (e.g. NAPA p/n - 727-2602).

Install the new o-rings to the outlet fluid connections and reinstall the outlet to the pump. If the o-rings are simply dislodged, but not lost, and they are NOT cut or damaged, they can be reused. If it is necessary to replace the gasket between the fluid tank and pump, it is available separately (PNC 84233, p/n 8260A161).

√ BLOTCHING IN CLEAR COAT  - All models. 

On new vehicles, discoloration or a "milky" color in the body paint after removing the RAP-Film is typically due to moisture entering under the RAP-Film and sitting on the painted surface for a long period of time. This causes a "blotching" effect on the clear coat. DO NOT REPAINT THE VEHICLE FOR THIS CONDITION.  It can usually be eliminated by leaving the vehicle in warm sunlight for a few hours. In colder climates, heat the affected area for a few minutes with a hot air gun, heat lamp, or in a paint booth.

FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION (FCM) CALIBRATION TARGET  - 2017 Outlander. 

Unlike the 2014 - 2016 Outlander FCM calibration procedure which requires driving the vehicle, the new FCM system uses unique targets to perform calibration of the FCM/LDW/AHB-ECU. To assist technicians in conducting this procedure, the FCM Target and Printing Instructions job aid was developed and posted to the Techline System home page under the Worksheets, Questionnaires, Job Aids button.

LED FOG LAMP NOT WORKING (PN MZ581985EX)  - 2016-17 Outlander. 

If a condition is found where the fog lamp is not working after installation, a possible cause is the fog lamp wire terminals are not positioned correctly for the specific model year (shown below).

For detailed instructions, please obtain a copy from your Parts coordinator who has access to the MMNA CAPS system.

TIN-16-SR-003-D: CROSS MEMBER CORROSION SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN - "REMEDY AVAILABLE" CUSTOMER LETTERS  - Certain 2002 - 2007 Lancer, 2004 Lancer Wagon, 2003 - 2006 Lancer Evolution, 2003 - 2006 Outlander, and 2007 - 2013 V6 Outlander. 

TIN-16-SR-003-D was released recently and states:

"Customer letters for the Cross Member Corrosion Safety Recall Campaign are being mailed this week to approximately 52,000 additional owners, informing them that remedy parts are now available. If one of these customers contacts your dealership after receiving this letter, please perform the procedures outlined in SR-16-003 on the affected vehicle.

Owners who were not mailed the "remedy available" letters but believe that their vehicle's cross member exhibits excessive corrosion may still bring their vehicle into an Authorized Mitsubishi Dealership for inspection. If a customer presents their vehicle for inspection, please follow the inspection procedures outlined in SR-16-003 .

If you encounter a vehicle which has excessive cross member corrosion, but is not covered under this campaign (i.e., never registered in a salt belt state), contact your DPSM for further directions.

As a reminder, MMNA would like to better understand the severity of the cross member corrosion on vehicles requiring cross member replacement. Therefore, all cross member replacement recall claims must include photos of vehicle cross members inspected and found to exhibit perforation(s), and those photos must be posted to the Photos Required Condition (PRC) system in the "cross member" category. The photos must be of the cross member still installed on the vehicle, and must clearly show the perforation or the results of the punch test (step 4 of the inspection procedure outlined in Safety Recall Bulletin SR-16-003 ) indicating the need for replacement, along with other areas of the cross member that exhibit corrosion.

Dealers must review the Warranty Superscreen to confirm if any vehicles in their new or used vehicle inventories are affected, and conduct this campaign prior to delivering them. When checking for applicability of this campaign (C1609R), please check for and complete any other open campaigns. Always obtain the customer's approval before completing a campaign on a customer owned vehicle."
