Mitsubishi Outlander GS45X. Manual - part 458

DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-259

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-

rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this 
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to 
GROUP 54C 

− CAN Bus Line Diagnostic Flow 

P.54C-10

).

• Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus 

lines are normal.

• When the steering wheel sensor is replaced, always 

carry out calibration to make ASC-ECU learn the neu-
tral point (Refer to 

P.35C-283

).

.

OPERATION

• Steering wheel sensor contains the power supply circuit 

(terminal No.2) for Steering wheel sensor. The power is 
supplied from the ETACS-ECU (terminal No.5). The power 
is supplied from the fusible link No.34 through the multi-pur-
pose fuse No.12.

• When malfunction occurs in Steering wheel sensor power 

supply, the communication with scan tool becomes unavail-
able.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged wiring harness and connectors

• Fuse and fusible link malfunction

• Improper tightening of battery terminal

• Battery failure

• Charging system failed

• Steering wheel sensor malfunction

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

• MB991997: ASC check harness

STEP 1. Connector check: C-209 steering wheel sensor 
connector
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO  :  Repair the damaged connector.

DIAGNOSIS

35C-260

STEP 2. Resistance measurement at C-209 steering wheel 
sensor connector.
(1) Disconnect C-209 steering wheel sensor connector and 

measure the resistance available at the wiring harness side 
of the connector.

(2) Check for continuity between C-209 steering wheel sensor 

connector terminal No.5 and body ground.

OK: Continuity exists (2 

Ω or less)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between C-209 steering 
wheel sensor connector terminal No.5 and the body 
ground.

• Check the ground wires for open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : If a trouble is solved, it is determined that there is an 

intermittent malfunction such as poor engaged 
connector(s) or open circuit (Refer to GROUP 00 

− 

How to use Troubleshooting/How to Cope with 
Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

).

NO :  Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 4. Connector check: C-309 ETACS-ECU connector, 
C-317 ETACS-ECU connector
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO  :  Repair the damaged connector.

STEP 5. Voltage measurement at C-309 ETACS-ECU 
connector
(1) Disconnect C-306 ETACS-ECU connector and measure the 

voltage available at the wiring harness side of the 
connector.

(2) Measure the voltage between C-309 ETACS-ECU 

connector terminal No.1 and body ground.

OK: Approximately system voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between fusible link No. 
34 and C-309 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.1.

• Check the power supply lines (battery power supply) for 

open circuit and short circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : If a trouble is solved, it is determined that there is an 

intermittent malfunction such as poor engaged 
connector(s) or open circuit (Refer to GROUP 00 

− 

How to use Troubleshooting/How to Cope with 
Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

).

NO :  Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 7. Measure the voltage at the C-209 steering wheel 
sensor connector.
(1) Disconnect C-209 steering wheel sensor connector and 

measure the voltage at the wiring harness side of the 
connector.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Measure the voltage between the terminal No.2 and the 

body ground.

OK: Approximately system voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO :  Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check the fuse No.12.
Visually check for open circuit in fuse No.12.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO :  The short circuit may be present in the power supply 

circuit. Check the wiring harness between the C-209 
steering wheel sensor connector terminal No.2 and 
the C-317 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.5, and 
repair if necessary. And then replace the fuse No.12.

STEP 9. Check the wiring harness between C-209 steering 
wheel sensor connector terminal No.2 and C-317 
ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.5.

• Check the power supply lines (battery power supply) for 

open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness between the C-209 steering 

wheel sensor connector terminal No.2 and the C-317 
ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.5.

STEP 10. Using scan tool MB991958, check the ETACS 
system data list
Check the input signal of IG1 relay.

• Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
