Precautions For Diagnosis

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check that a standard steering wheel is installed correctly to the neutral position of the steering column shaft assembly.
Whenever the system is diagnosed or the electronic controlled AWD system component is removed and installed, use the M.U.T.-III to check whether a diagnostic trouble code is stored. If a diagnostic trouble code is stored, erase it and then check again whether it is stored.
Prior to the diagnosis, all the four wheels must be in good condition (correct size, specification, inflation pressure, balance and wear pattern). The electronic controlled AWD system does not work correctly when a different size wheel or tire is installed.
The wheel alignment is correct.
No modifications to the engine, suspension, or others, which can affect the electronic controlled AWD system, is implemented.
