Section 13 (Keyless Operation System (Kos) - Lancer Evolution): Diagnosis: Warnings/Alarms
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.
If the KOS failed, operated improperly, KOS-ECU warns the driver of this by setting off the outer tone alarm and the keyless operation warning indicator, on the multi information display in the combination meter. If the TPMS fails or the tire pressure is low, KOS-ECU warns the driver of that state by the TPMS warning light and the multi information display in the combination meter.
WARNINGS AND ALARMS
| Display contents | Item | State | Warning operations | Warning cancellation conditions (Cancels warning operations when one of the conditions met) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TPMS warning light | Multi information display | |||||||
| Low keyless operation key battery voltage warning | The keyless operation key with low battery voltage is detected when the IG knob is pressed. | - |
|
|
||||
| No keyless operation key detected inside the car | No keyless operation key is detected inside the car when the IG knob is pressed. | - |
|
|
||||
| IG knob is not returned properly. | Opening of the driver's door is detected when the IG knob is in ACC or LOCK position and the push switch is ON. | - |
|
|
||||
| Keyless operation key brought out of the car warning | The keyless operation key is carried out of the vehicle when the IG knob is in the position other than the LOCK position, and all the doors are closed. | - |
|
|
||||
| Door lock does not operate. | Push switch is pressed ON when the IG knob is in other than LOCK position. | - |
|
|
||||
| Push switch is pressed ON when the keyless operation key is inside the car. |
|
|||||||
| Push switch is pressed ON when the door is ajar. |
|
|||||||
| System error | Push switch is pressed ON from OFF when an error has been detected in EEPROM in KOS-ECU. | - |
|
5 minutes have passed after the push switch was pressed ON and IG knob is in "LOCK" (OFF) position. | ||||
| Push switch is pressed ON from OFF while open circuit in the transmitter antennas are being detected. | ||||||||
| The push switch is pressed ON from OFF while short circuit in the power supply output (steering lock, transmitter antennas, receiver antenna module, etc.) is detected. | ||||||||
| Steering lock communication error has been detected when the push switch was pressed ON. | ||||||||
| The IG knob is in other than the LOCK position while some error is being detected. | ||||||||
| Not displayed | TPMS warning light bulb open circuit check | The ignition switch is turned from "LOCK" (OFF) to "ON". | Illuminates for 3 seconds. | - | 3 seconds have passed after the TPMS warning light is lit. | |||
| Tire pressure alarm | The received tire pressure value is under the alarm ON threshold value. | Illuminates. | Symbol and "LOW TIRE PRESSURE" is displayed. | The received tire pressure value is over the alarm OFF threshold value. | ||||
| TPMS failure warning | ID not stored | The TPMS transmitter ID is not registered in the KOS-ECU. | Flashes (1) | Symbol and "SERVICE REQUIRED" is displayed. | ID is registered normally. | |||
| Defective EEPROM | Abnormality of data in the EEPROM of the KOS-ECU is detected. | Data in the EEPROM of the KOS-ECU is checked to be normal. | ||||||
| Problem in signal reception | The signals from TPMS transmitters cannot be received while driving for about 20 minutes. | The signal from the TPMS transmitter that was warned is received. | ||||||
| Defective sensor | The sensor failure signal is received from the TPMS transmitter. | A normal signal is received from the TPMS transmitter that was warned. | ||||||
| The battery voltage of the TPMS transmitter is low. | The reception problem warning is activated because of the low battery voltage of the TPMS transmitter. | The signal of normal battery voltage is received from the TPMS transmitter that was warned. | ||||||
| Vehicle speed input problem | The vehicle speed is not input. | The vehicle speed is input. | ||||||
| Abnormal vehicle speed value | The vehicle speed value is abnormal. | The normal vehicle speed value is received. | ||||||
