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.

Required Special Tools: 

  1. STEP 1. ETACS-ECU coding data check 
    1. Operate scan tool (M.U.T.-III) to read the ETACS-ECU option coding information (Refer to CODING TABLE ).
    2. Check that the "AUDIO" is set to "Present."

    Q: Is the check result normal?
