Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. STEP 1. Scan tool CAN bus diagnostics 

    Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES  : Go to Step 2.

    NO  : Repair the CAN bus lines. (Refer to TROUBLESHOOTING ). After repairing the CAN bus line, go to Step 2.

  2. STEP 2. Scan tool actuator test 

    Item No.2: Back-up light (Refer to SPECIAL FUNCTION (ACTUATOR TEST REFERENCE TABLE)  .

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES  : Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ).

    NO  : Go to Step 3.

  3. STEP 3. Scan tool diagnostic trouble code 

    Check the ETACS diagnostic trouble code. (Refer to TROUBLESHOOTING ).

    Q: Is the DTC set? 

    YES  : Perform the relevant troubleshooting.

    NO  : Go to Step 4.

  4. STEP 4. Bulb check 

    Check if the bulb of the back-up light which does not illuminate is normal.

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES  : Go to Step 5.

    NO  : Replace the bulb which does not illuminate.

  5. STEP 5. Measure the resistance at F-08 back-up light (RH) connector and F-22 back-up light (LH) connector. 

    Disconnect the connector of the light which does not illuminate, and measure the resistance between the connector terminal No. 2 and ground at the wiring harness side.

    OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less) 

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES  : Go to Step  8.

    NO  : Go to Step 6.

  6. STEP 6. Inspection of the back-up light (RH) connector, back-up light (LH) connector, and intermediate connector: F-08, F-22, F-27 

    Check for the contact with the connector terminals of the light which does not illuminate.

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES  : Go to Step 7.

    NO  : Repair the defective connector.

  7. STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between F-08 back-up light (RH) connector terminal No. 2 and body ground, and between F-22 back-up light (RH) connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. 

    Check the ground harness of the light which does not illuminate for open circuit.

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES  : Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ).

    NO  : Repair the wiring harness.

  8. STEP 8. Measure the voltage at F-08 back-up light (RH) connector and F-22 back-up light (LH) connector. 
    1. Disconnect the connector of the light which does not illuminate, and measure the voltage between the connector terminal No. 3 and ground at the wiring harness side.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
    3. Place the shift lever to the R range.

    OK: Battery positive voltage 

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES  : Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ).

    NO  : Go to Step 9.

  9. STEP 9. Inspection of J/C (4), intermediate connector, shift lever assembly connector, ETACS-ECU connector, and back-up light connector: C-43, C-47, C-27, C-304, C-311, C-313, D-17, F-08, F-22, F-27 

    Check for the contact with the connector terminals of the light which does not illuminate.

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES  : Go to Step 10.

    NO  : Repair the defective connector.

  10. STEP 10. Check the wiring harness between F-08 back-up light (RH) connector terminal No. 3 and C-313 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No. 4, and between F-22 back-up light (RH) connector terminal No. 3 and C-313 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No. 4. 

    Check the power supply line of the light which does not illuminate for open or short circuit.

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES  : Go to Step 11.

    NO  : Repair the wiring harness.

  11. STEP 11. Retest the system. 

    Q: Does a malfunction take place again? 

    YES  : Replace the shift lever assembly. (Refer to TRANSMISSION CONTROL  ).

    NO  : Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ).
