WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING
• Improper service or maintenance of any component of the SRS, or any SRS-related component, can lead to
personal injury or death to service personnel (from inadvertent firing of the air bag) or to the driver and
passenger (from rendering the SRS inoperative).
• Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
• MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B - Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of the SRS or any
SRS-related component.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: SRS air bag control unit, SRS warning light, front impact sensors, air bag module,
side-airbag module, curtain air bag module, side impact sensors, seat belt pre-tensioners, clock spring, and interconnecting
wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance)
are indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk (*).

TSB Revision
55A-11
Past trouble
• If DTC B1000 is stored as a past trouble, carry out diagno-
sis with particular emphasis on wiring and connector(s)
between the A/C-ECU and the A/C control panel. If the con-
nectors and wiring are normal, and obviously the ECU is the
cause of the trouble, replace the ECU. If in doubt, do not
replace the ECU.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINT
• Malfunction of connector.
• Malfunction of the harness.
• Malfunction of the A/C control panel.
• Malfunction of the A/C-ECU.
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tool:
STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus

line.
Use scan tool MB991958 to diagnose the CAN bus lines.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect the
Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III) P.55A-6.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair the CAN bus lines. Repair the CAN bus lines
(Refer to GROUP 54C, Diagnosis-Can Bus
Diagnostic Chart P.54C-16).
STEP 2. Check A/C-ECU connector C-210 for loose,

corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is A/C-ECU connector C-210 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP
00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2.
STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between A/C-ECU

connector C-210 (terminal 9) and A/C control panel
connector C-216 (terminal 9).
• Check the A/C control panel signal line for open and short
circuit.
Q: Is the wiring harness between A/C-ECU connector
C-210 (terminal 9) and A/C control panel connector
C-216 (terminal 9) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair the wiring harness.
TSB Revision
STEP 4. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.

Recheck if the DTC is set.
(1) Erase the DTC.
(3) Check if the DTC is set.
Q: Is the DTC set?
YES : Replace the A/C control panel. Then go to Step 5.
NO : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.
Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use

REFILLING OF OIL IN THE A/C SYSTEM

Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor lubrication and
cause a compressor failure. Too much oil will increase dis-
charge air temperature.
When a compressor is installed at the factory, it contains 70
cm3 (2.4 fl.oz) of refrigerant oil. While the A/C system is in
operation, the oil is carried through the entire system by the
refrigerant. Some of this oil will be trapped and retained in vari-
ous parts of the system.
When the following system components are changed, it is nec-
essary to add oil to the system to replace the oil being removed
with the component.
Compressor oil: SUN PAG 56
Quantity:
Evaporator: 25 cm3 (0.8 fl.oz)
Condenser: 15 cm3 (0.5 fl.oz)

If the temperature/humidity is not within the test conditions, an
accurate judgment cannot be made. Therefore, postpone the

COOLING PERFORMANCE CHECK

Thermometer 1. Insert a thermometer into the air outlet located at the center
of instrument panel.
NOTE: Set a thermometer so that cool air from the air outlet
blows directly against the sensing part.
2. Set a wet and dry bulb thermometer in the air intake of the
front passenger's foot area (below the glove box).
NOTE: Set a wet and dry bulb thermometer so that cool air
does not blow against it.

>>A<< A/C COMPRESSOR AND CLUTCH ASSEM-

BLY INSTALLATION
If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of oil
according to the procedures described below, and then install
the compressor.
1. Measure the amount [X cm3 (X fl.oz) of oil within the
removed compressor.
2. Drain (from the new compressor) the amount of oil
calculated according to the following formula, and then
install the new compressor.
New compressor oil amount = 70cm3 (2.4 fl.oz)
70 cm3 − X cm3 = Y cm3 (2.4 fl.oz. − X fl.oz. = Y fl.oz)
NOTE: Y cm3 (Y fl.oz) indicates the amount of oil in the refrig-
erant line, the condenser, the evaporator, etc.
NOTE: When replacing the following parts at the same times as
the compressor, subtract the rated oil amount of each part from
Y cm3 (Y fl.oz) and discharge from the new compressor.
3. Tighten A/C compressor and clutch assembly mounting
bolts to the specified torque in the order of number shown in
1 the figure.
