This occurs when the downloaded security
permission file (not to be confused with the Key
Registration Password) for the vehicle is
incorrect or corrupt.
If you run across this error using the
downloaded security permission file, use the
following steps to obtain a new security
permission file.
1. Download the security permission file again
and attempt to use it again to confirm the file is
not working correctly.
8. Techline will contact the dealership and alert
the technician that the new security permission
file is available.
2. Confirm you are seeing the error screen shown
above.
3. Once the error screen is confirmed, generate a
Security application file from the vehicle. This file
will be used to obtain a new security permission
file.
9. The technician then should contact MEDIC
hotline to have them transfer the new security
permission file from the Techline case to the
proper MUT scantool folder.
Depending on the vehicle, this is done by either
clicking on the “generate file” button at the bottom
of the screen, or by returning to a previous screen
and clicking on the “Security appli. File generate”
button. The file generated will automatically go
into a folder in the scan tool.
10. Proceed with key registration.

 WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP LEAKING
AT FITTINGS — 2013-15 Outlander Sport/RVR,
2014-15 Outlander.
If you find leakage at the washer pump forward
of the right front tire, or the washer is
inoperative, check if the washer pump fluid
inlet/outlet assembly has become dislodged
from the pump (refer to service manual Group 51
- Exterior —> Windshield Wiper and Washer, for
information). Confirm if the o-rings on the
pump outlets are in place. If o-rings are missing,
it is NOT necessary to replace the entire washer
pump.
Though not available from your facing PDC,
suitable replacements can be sourced locally
using o-rings made of EPDM (Ethylene
Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, with in I.D.
of 4.8 mm and a material cross section of 1.9 mm
(e.g. NAPA p/n - 727-2602).
4. Once the Security Application file has been
generated, open a new Techline case for this
vehicle.
O-ring Dimensions (Not actual size)
4.8mm
5. Contact the MEDIC hotline (1-800-846-7575)
to retrieve the file from the scan tool. Have
MEDIC hotline attach the file to the Techline case
and email it to: [email protected].

Install the new o-rings to the outlet fluid
connections and reinstall the outlet to the pump.
If the o-rings are simply dislodged, but not lost,
and they are NOT cut or damaged, they can be
reused. If it is necessary to replace the gasket
between the fluid tank and pump, it is available
separately (PNC 84233, p/n 8260A161).
6. Call Techline (1-800-446-6064) to inform them
of the case and the need for a new security
permission file for the vehicle.
7. Techline will obtain a new permission file from
MMC and attach it to the Techline case.

 BLOTCHING IN CLEAR COAT —
All models.
LED FOG LAMP NOT WORKING
(PN MZ581985EX) — 2016-17 Outlander.
On new vehicles, discoloration or a “milky" color
in the body paint after removing the RAP-Film
is typically due to moisture entering under the
RAP-Film and sitting on the painted surface for
a long period of time. This causes a “blotching"
effect on the clear coat. DO NOT REPAINT THE
VEHICLE FOR THIS CONDITION. It can
usually be eliminated by leaving the vehicle in
warm sunlight for a few hours. In colder
climates, heat the affected area for a few minutes
with a hot air gun, heat lamp, or in a paint booth.
If a condition is found where the fog lamp is not
working after installation, a possible cause is the
fog lamp wire terminals are not positioned
correctly for the specific model year (shown
below).

FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION (FCM)
CALIBRATION TARGET — 2017 Outlander.
Unlike the 2014 - 2016 Outlander FCM
calibration procedure which requires driving the
vehicle, the new FCM system uses unique
targets to perform calibration of the
FCM/LDW/AHB-ECU. To assist technicians in
conducting this procedure, the FCM Target and
Printing Instructions job aid was developed and
posted to the Techline System home page under
the Worksheets, Questionnaires, Job Aids button.

GROUP 60 − Recalls
As a reminder, MMNA would like to better
understand the severity of the cross member
corrosion on vehicles requiring cross member
replacement. Therefore, all cross member
replacement recall claims must include photos of
vehicle cross members inspected and found to
exhibit perforation(s), and those photos must be
posted to the Photos Required Condition (PRC)
system in the “cross member” category. The
photos must be of the cross member still installed
on the vehicle, and must clearly show the
perforation or the results of the punch test (step
4 of the inspection procedure outlined in Safety
Recall Bulletin SR-16-003) indicating the need
for replacement, along with other areas of the
cross member that exhibit corrosion.
Dealers must review the Warranty Superscreen
to confirm if any vehicles in their new or used
vehicle inventories are affected, and conduct this
campaign prior to delivering them. When
checking for applicability of this campaign
(C1609R), please check for and complete any
other open campaigns. Always obtain the
customer's approval before completing a
campaign on a customer owned vehicle.”

TIN-16-SR-003-D was released recently and
states:
“Customer letters for the Cross Member
Corrosion Safety Recall Campaign are being
mailed this week to approximately 52,000
additional owners, informing them that remedy
parts are now available. If one of these customers
contacts your dealership after receiving this
letter, please perform the procedures outlined in
SR-16-003 on the affected vehicle.
Owners who were not mailed the “remedy
available” letters but believe that their vehicle's
cross member exhibits excessive corrosion may
still bring their vehicle into an Authorized
Mitsubishi Dealership for inspection. If a
customer presents their vehicle for inspection,
please follow the inspection procedures outlined
in SR-16-003.
IMPORTANT
Affected new or used inventory vehicles must be
repaired before the vehicle is delivered. Dealers
must check their inventory vehicles' VINs on the
Warranty Superscreen to verify whether the vehicle
is involved in this recall campaign. It is a violation
of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor
vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle
equipment (including a tire) covered by the
notification under a sale or lease until the defect or
noncompliance is remedied.
If you encounter a vehicle which has excessive
cross member corrosion, but is not covered
under this campaign (i.e., never registered in a
salt belt state), contact your DPSM for further
directions.

The following was a special event for
Mitsubishi Motors in 2016.
LAST LANCER EVOLUTION FINAL EDITION AUCTIONED FOR CHARITY
In September 2016, Mitsubishi Motors held a national auction of the very last Lancer Evolution Final
Edition on eBay. Pictured on page 1 of this Tech Talk, the car sold for $60,000, and raised money for
Feeding America Riverside / San Bernardino and Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County. The
charity is the largest hunger relief organization in Southern California's Inland Empire and currently
assists over 426,000 men, women, and children monthly.
The check for $60,000 was presented at the Feeding America annual gala in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
Mitsubishi was also one of the dinner's sponsors for the event. In total, Mitsubishi Motors will provide
nearly 400,000 meals to those in need this holiday season.
