Mitsubishi Outlander XL. Manual - part 571

OPERATION
AWD-ECU  detects  an  IG1  power  supply  voltage
abnormal increase, and if any abnormality occurs, it
interrupts the system.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
If the following conditions are met when the system is
activated,  AWD-ECU  gradually  switches  the  control
from AWD to FWD, flashes the AWD/LOCK indicators
alternately, and sets the DTC No. C211D.

｠

IG1 voltage: More than 17 V

｠

Battery voltage: Less than 16 V

DIAGNOSIS

｠

MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

｠

MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface

｠

MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

｠

MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Scan tool MB991958 CAN bus diagnostics
Use scan tool MB991958 to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

 Go to Step 3.

NO:

 Repair the CAN bus line. (Refer to GROUP 54D - CAN

bus diagnostic chart P.54D-17.) On completion, go to
Step 2.

STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset after repairing the
CAN bus line.

(1)

Erase the DTC.

(2)

Turn the ignition switch from the LOCK (OFF) position to the
ON position.

(3)

Check if the DTC is set.

Q:Is the DTC No. C211D set?

YES:

 Go to Step 3.

NO:

 This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. Check the following connector:
Check the connectors below for improper engagement, terminal
damage or terminal drawn in the connector case.

｠

C-128 AWD-ECU connector

｠

C-309, C-313, C-317 ETACS-ECU connector

Q:Are the connectors and terminals in good condition?

YES:

 Go to Step 4.

NO:

 Repair the connector(s) or terminal(s). Then go to

Step 8.

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 4. Wiring harness check
Check  the  wiring  harness  between  the  C-128  AWD-ECU
connector and the C-313 ETACS-ECU connector for damage or
other problem.

Q:Is the wiring harness in good condition?

YES:

 Go to Step 5.

NO:

 Repair damage or other problem in the wiring harness.

Then go to Step 8.

STEP 5. Voltage measurement at the AWD-ECU connector

(1)

Disconnect the C-128 AWD-ECU connector.

C-128 harness 
connector: 
harness side 

ZC3047200000

(2)

Measure the voltage between the C-128 wiring harness side
connector terminals No. 4 and No. 10.

OK: Battery voltage

Q:Is the check result normal?

YES:

 Go to Step 8.

NO:

 Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Wiring harness check
Check  the  wiring  harness  between  the  C-128  AWD-ECU
connector  (terminal  No.  4)  and  the  C-309  ETACS-ECU
connector (terminal No. 1) for damage or other problem.

Q:Is the wiring harness in good condition?

YES:

 Go to Step 7.

NO:

 Repair the wiring harness. Then go to Step 8.

STEP 7. Check whether the DTC is reset.

(1)

Erase the DTC.

(2)

Turn the ignition switch from the LOCK (OFF) position to the
ON position.

(3)

Check if the DTC is set.

Q:Is the DTC No. C211D set?

YES:

 Replace AWD-ECU. (Refer to P.27C-92.) Then go to

Step 8.

NO:

 The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction.

(Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction P.00-15.)

STEP 8. Check whether the DTC is reset.

(1)

Erase the DTC.

(2)

Turn the ignition switch from the LOCK (OFF) position to the
ON position.

(3)

Check if the DTC is set.

Q:Is the DTC No. C211D set?

YES:

 Diagnose again from Step 1.

NO:

 This diagnosis is complete.
