Troubleshooting Hints
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.
- Improper engaged connector or defective short spring*
- Short between the side-air bag module (RH) (squib) circuit terminals
- Damaged connector(s)
- Malfunction of the SRS-ECU
NOTE:
*: The squib circuit connectors integrate a "short" spring (which prevents the air bag from deploying unintentionally due to static electricity by shorting the positive wire to the ground wire in the squib circuit when the connectors are disconnected) (Refer to GENERAL INFORMATION
). Therefore, if connector C-36 or D-36 is damaged or improperly engaged, the short spring may not be released when the connector is connected.
