Troubleshooting Contents: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- During diagnosis, a DTC code associated with other system may be set when the ignition switch is turned on with connector(s) disconnected. On completion, confirm all systems for DTC code(s). If DTC code(s) are set, erase them all.
- When the MUT-III detects a diagnostic trouble code, its display informs users whether a mechanical problem currently exists ("current trouble") or whether it existed before but normal operation has been restored ("past trouble"). However, if an MFI, TPMS or SRS airbag-related DTC is set, "Active DTC/Stored DTC" is not displayed. In this case, follow the diagnosis procedure for current trouble.
- If a trouble DTC detected in a CAN communication-capable system can be reproduced, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to CAN BUS DIAGNOSTICS TABLES ).
Troubleshooting of electronic control systems for which the scan tool can be used follows the basic outline described in the following information. Even in systems for which the scan tool cannot be used, part of these systems still follow this outline.
