STEP 4. Retest the system.
Q: When the ignition switch is turned "ON" (engine

stopped or after startup), does the Active skid control
system operation indicator light/Active traction control
system operation indicator light illuminate?
YES : The procedure is complete.
NO : Return to Step 1.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2: When the ignition switch is tured "ON" (Engine stopped or after
startup), the Active skid control system OFF indicator light does not illuminate.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The Active skid control system OFF indicator light is
connected from the ignition switch (IG1) through
multi-purpose fuse No.6 and the combination meter
to the M-ASTC-ECU. The M-ASTC-ECU turns on
and off the indicator light.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
This symptom is caused by a shorted or opened
Active skid control system OFF indicator light circuit.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this condition:)

• Damaged wiring harness

• Burned-out bulb

• Melted fuse

• Malfunction of M-ASTC-ECU

M-ASTC DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MITSUBISHI ACTIVE SKID AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

35C-197

STEP 1. Check the Active skid control system OFF
indicator light circuit at M-ASTC-ECU connector E-121.

(1) Disconnect M-ASTC-ECU connector E-121 and measure at

the harness side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 82 and ground. It

should be approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).

Q: Is the voltage approximately 12 volts (battery positive

voltage)?
YES : Replace the M-ASTC-ECU and then go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the harness wires between ignition switch
(IG1) connector D-204 terminal 2 and combination meter
connector D-03 terminal 62.
NOTE: After inspecting combination meter connector D-03,
ignition switch (IG1) connector D-204, junction block connector
D-208 and D-210, inspect the wire. If combination meter con-
nector D-03, ignition switch (IG1) connector D-204, junction
block connector D-208 and D-210 are damaged, repair or
replace them. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector
Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 4.

Q: Is the harness wire between ignition switch (IG1)

connector D-204 terminal 2 and combination meter
connector D-03 terminal 62 damaged?
YES : Repair the wiring harness wires between ignition

switch (IG1) connector D-204 terminal 2 and
combination meter connector D-03 terminal 62, and
then go to Step 4.

NO : Go to Step 3.
