Mitsubishi Outlander XL. Manual — part 1305

｠

All the responded keyless operation keys receive
the exterior data only.

NOTE:

The retry cycle for each door will be

performed twice when no keyless operation key
exists inside the vehicle.

NOTE:

When a keyless operation key is

detected inside the vehicle and the driver's
side door is locked, and when the door closed
last time is driver's door, KOS-ECU requests
ETACS-ECU to unlock the doors to prevent the
key from locked inside the vehicle.

｠

When all the responding keyless operation keys
have received the exterior data only during a
series of the keyless operation key certification
communications (driver's door →

front

passenger's door → liftgate), KOS-ECU moves to
Step 8.

Auto lock judgment (Keyless operation key
certification communication after interior/exterior
judgment)

8.

When the auto lock function has been selected,
KOS-ECU activates the auto lock answerback
function.

9.

KOS-ECU transmits the exterior data from the
exterior transmitter antenna assembly (driver's
side, passenger's side, liftgate).

10.

After the Step 9 is completed, KOS-ECU transmits
the interior data from the interior transmitter data
assembly (Front).

11.

After the specified time period (varies with the
number of the keyless operation keys registered in
KOS-ECU) has passed, KOS-ECU performs the
following condition judgments.

｠

When KOS-ECU receives the response from the
keyless operation keys that received the interior
data, KOS-ECU terminates the auto lock
judgment.

NOTE:

Steps 9 to 11 are performed in the

order of the driver's door → front
passenger's door → liftgate.

12.

The interior data are transmitted from the interior
transmitter assembly (front).

13.

After the specified time period (varies with the
number of the keyless operation keys registered in
KOS-ECU) has passed, KOS-ECU performs the
following condition judgments.

｠

When KOS-ECU receives the response from the
keyless operation keys that received the interior
data, KOS-ECU terminates the auto lock
judgment.

｠

When all the responded keyless operation keys
receive the exterior data only during a series of
the keyless operation key certification
communications,

KOS-ECU

continues

monitoring the keyless operation key. (Repeat
from Step 9.)

｠

When no response is received during a series of
the keyless operation key certification
communications, KOS-ECU moves to Step 14.

NOTE:

The retry cycle for each door are not

performed.

14.

KOS-ECU requests ETACS-ECU to lock the
doors. ETACS-ECU locks the doors and sends the
answerback request to KOS-ECU. By this request,
KOS-ECU sounds the outer tone alarm
answerback.

AUTO LOCK FUNCTION INHIBITION CONDITIONS
The door auto lock function is inhibited when:

｠

Any door or the liftgate is open/ajar (door switch is
ON). (including door ajar)

｠

The emergency key is in the ignition switch.

｠

The push switch in the steering lock is ON.

AUTO LOCK FUNCTION CANCELLATION
CONDITION
The auto lock function is cancelled when:

｠

No keyless operation key is detected on the outer
side of the vehicle during the keyless operation key
certification communication performed to detect if
all the doors are closed.

｠

Any of the keyless operation switches (on driver-
side door, front passenger-side door, or liftgate) is
pressed after all the doors are detected closed.

｠

All the auto lock function inhibition conditions are
met.

｠

A keyless operation key is detected inside the
vehicle.

KEYLESS OPERATION SYSTEM (KOS)

SYSTEM OPERATION

ANSWERBACK FUNCTIONS

When KOS-ECU sends a signal to ETACS-ECU,
ETACS-ECU outputs the lock/unlock signal and
activates the hazard warning light and the outer tone
alarm to notify the driver the doors are locked/
unlocked. Using a customization function*, the outer
tone alarm operation can be selected between "Tone

alarm sounds" and "Tone alarm not sound" (Refer
to P.42B-29). The default factory setting is "Tone
alarm sounds".

NOTE:

Operation of the outer tone alarm for the

warnings, alarms, and auto lock function are fixed
to "Tone alarm sounds" regardless of the
customization.

KOS TIMER LOCK FUNCTION

When none of the doors is opened within 30 seconds
after the doors are unlocked by KOS, ETACS-ECU

automatically outputs the door lock signal to lock the
doors. This function prevents the doors from being
unlocked accidentally.

The keyless operation key has three-knob type
buttons and transmits encrypted code peculiar to
each key in an electric wave signal.

｠

A shiny three-diamond mark on the back of the
keyless operation key gives it a classy look.

｠

An indicator light, which illuminates when signals
are received, is on the keyless operation key. This
indicator light informs you of the signal transmission
status and warns you of flat battery.

｠

A coin type battery, CR2032 is used in the keyless
operation key.

｠

The button operation of the keyless operation key
allows the system to operate as follows:

ENCRYPTED CODE

Data
code

Four data codes are transmitted when a switch is
operated once. The encrypted code for user
identification is a combination of 0 and 1, and more
than 1 million different combinations are available. To

prevent theft by copying signal codes, the data code
includes a rolling code with the encrypted code. The
rolling code changes each time a signal is sent.

RECEIVER
The receiver is incorporated into the receiver antenna
module together with the receiving antenna. It sends
the signal the antenna received from the keyless
operation key to KOS-ECU. KOS-ECU compares this
signal with the ID code registered in it, and when they
coincided, a signal is output from ETACS-ECU. By
connecting scan tool MB991958 (M.U.T.-III sub-
assembly) to the data link connector, up to four
encrypted codes of keyless operation keys can be
registered.

FUNCTION FOR CONFIRMING ETACS-ECU (RECEIVER) OUTPUT AND OPERATION
When the ETACS-ECU receives an electric wave
signal of the identification code stored in the receiver
antenna module, the ETACS-ECU outputs LOCK/
UNLOCK signal and informs the driver of the keyless
entry system operation by flashing the light
(Answerback). Using a customization feature, the
flashing patterns for the answerback function can be
changed according to the table below. The initial

setting at factory for the answerback function is as
follows: "Hazard warning light: LOCK, Flash once,
UNLOCK, Flash twice/Dome light: LOCK, Flash once,
UNLOCK, Stay on for 15 seconds/Horn: LOCK
(driver’s side door is locked), Sound once, UNLOCK,
No sound." Using a customization feature, the hazard
answerback function can be changed (Refer
to P.42B-29).
