Mitsubishi Outlander XL. Manual — part 941

If DTC U0176 is set in the SRS-ECU, always
diagnose the CAN main bus line.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
If an impact of set value or more is detected, the side
impact sensor (rear) sends the coded acceleration
data to SRS-ECU via side impact sensor (front).
Based on the acceleration data, SRS-ECU
determines the necessity of curtain air bag
deployment, and then turns ON the power supply
circuit to the inflator.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
These DTCs are set if communication between the
side impact sensor (rear) (RH) and the SRS-ECU is
not possible or faulty.

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before
connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

(1)

Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the
scan tool P.52B-31."

(2)

Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3)

Diagnose the CAN bus line.

(4)

Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q:Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?

YES:

Go to Step 2.

NO:

Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54D,

Diagnosis P.54D-17).

Check again if the DTC is set.

(1)

Erase the DTC.

(2)

Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3)

Check if the DTC is set.

(4)

Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q:Is the DTC set?

YES:

Go to Step 3.

NO:

There is an intermittent malfunction such as poor

engaged connector(s) or open circuit (Refer to GROUP 00,
How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction P.00-15).

STEP 3. Check for any diagnostic trouble code. (Using scan
tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code.)
Check the side impact sensor (rear) (RH).

(1)

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(2)

Replace the side impact sensor (rear) (RH) with the side
impact sensor (rear) (LH).

(3)

Connect the negative battery terminal.

Q:Is DTC U0176 set?

YES:

Replace the side impact sensor (rear) (RH) with a

new one. (Refer to P.52B-338). Go to Step 5.

NO:

Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check the harness wires for open circuit or short
circuit between side impact sensor (rear) (RH) connector

(RH) connector D-132 (terminal No.1 and 2) and side

impact sensor (front) (RH) connector D-129 (terminal No.

4 and 3) in good condition?

YES:

Erase the diagnostic trouble code memory, and check

the diagnostic trouble code. If DTC U0176 sets, replace
the SRS-ECU (Refer to P.52B-326). Then go to Step 5.

NO:

Replace the harness wires between side impact sensor

(rear) (RH) connector D-132 and side impact sensor
(front) (RH) connector D-129. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.

DTC U0184: Audio CAN Timeout

M15204001007USA0000010000

｠

If the DTC U0184 is set, be sure to diagnose the
CAN main bus line.

｠

When replacing the ECU, always check that the
communication circuit is normal.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
When the signals from radio and CD player or CD
changer cannot be received, the SRS-ECU sets the
DTC U0184.

JUDGEMENT CRITERIA
Because of the CAN-B bus circuit malfunction, if SRS-
ECU becomes unable to perform the normal data
transmission, SRS-ECU determines that an
abnormality is present.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

｠

The CAN bus line may be defective

｠

The radio and CD player or CD changer may be
defective
