Mitsubishi Outlander XL. Manual — part 1303

Parts name

Functional description

｠

The lock switch on the keyless operation key is pressed from
inside the car.

｠

The lock switch on the keyless operation key is pressed when
the door is ajar.

Receiver antenna module

Receives the operation signals from the lock/unlock switches
and panic alarm switch on the keyless operation key, and the air
pressure signal from the TPMS transmitter, and then converts
them into data and sends them to KOS-ECU.

TPMS transmitter

Measure tire pressure directly, then send radio frequency signal
to receiver antenna module.

Combination meter (Multi information
display, TPMS warning light)

Communicates with KOS-ECU via CAN. Receives the warning
request or warning information from KOS-ECU, flashes or
activates*2the warning indicator or warnig light. Warning symbol
and message is additionally displayed on the multi information
display

ETACS-ECU

Communicates with KOS-ECU via CAN. Send ignition switch
status. Receives the door lock/unlock request from KOS-ECU,
outputs the lock/unlock signal, and flashes the turn signal light
to inform the driver that the doors are locked/unlocked.

ECM

Communicates with KOS-ECU via CAN. Permits/inhibits the
engine starting and controls the engine operation. Send
atmospheric pressure data.

ABS or ASC-ECU

Communicates with KOS-ECU via CAN. Sends the vehicle
speed data.

NOTE:

*1: When registering the keyless operation

keys, KOS-ECU numbers each key (1 to 4) in the
order they are registered (initial priority). This
priority is renewed each time the doors are
locked/unlocked and the IG knob is pressed. For
example, when only keys 1 and 3 have responded to
the signal sent from KOS-ECU, the new priority of

the keys would be 1-3-2-4. When keys 3 and 4 have
responded, then the priority of the keys becomes
3-4-1-2.

NOTE:

*2: Illuminates for tire pressure warning.

Flashes for about 1 minute and then coutinuously
illuminated for TPMS malfunction warning.

Door outside handle (Driver’s side, front passenger’ side)

When a driver carrying a keyless operation key
presses a lock switch on the driver-side/front
passenger-side door outside handle or on the liftgate
lock release handle, unlock sensor on the door
outside handle, or liftgate lock release handle (switch)
(Refer to GROUP 42A, Door and Liftgate Lock P.
42A-12), the keyless operation key and KOS-ECU
communicate to certify* the keyless operation key.
When KOS-ECU certifies the registered keyless
operation key within 70 cm (28 inches) in radius from
these switches and sensors on outer side of the
vehicle, it requests ETACS-ECU to lock/unlock the
doors. (The key may not be certified even it is within
this range, when it is positioned too high or too low).

NOTE:

*: In the communication for certification

of the keyless operation key, KOS-ECU judges if
the keyless operation key ID (specified to keyless
operation key) contained in the response data from
the keyless operation key coincides with the ID
that has been stored in ECU by registration
operation. The keyless operation key sends the
response to KOS-ECU only when the KOS ID (specific

to KOS-ECU) contained in the received data
coincided with the stored ID. In the beginning of
the communication for certification, KOS-ECU
creates a encrypted code calculation factor in
random number, and sends it to the keyless
operation key together with the transmit data. The
keyless operation key calculates the code by using
the received factor, and sends the result to KOS-
ECU together with the response data. KOS-ECU
determines that the communication is established
only when the code calculation results of the both
parties coincided.

UNLOCKING OPERATION OF DOOR

ENTRY FUNCTION

The keyless operation key and KOS-ECU
communicate to certify the keyless operation key
when the unlock sensor on the driver-side/front
passenger-side door outside handle or the liftgate lock
release handle (switch) is turned ON. When KOS-
ECU certifies the registered keyless operation key on
the outer side of the vehicle, it requests ETACS-ECU
to unlock the doors.
