TECH TALK - VOLUME 267 March - April 2022 INSIDE THIS ISSUE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION TAKATA RECALL STATS TECHNICAL TRAINING BEHIND THE SCENES QUOTES TSB/TIN/ATIN REVIEW NEWS & NOTES 1 6 7 9 10 11 12 UPCOMING DATES TO REMEMBER: TECHNICAL INFORMATION Probing Circuit Connectors Vehicles have more technology than ever and with this technology comes even more need for extreme caution when diagnosing these small electrical connectors. Failure to back probe connectors properly can easily damage terminals causing secondary problems. Below are proper methods that should be used when probing a circuit connector during diagnosis. Easter - April 17th Memorial Day - May 30th Easter Date The day of Easter falls on a Sunday based on the lunisolar (sun and moon) calendar, not a fixed date on the Gregorian or Julian calendar. Easter Egg Hunting Easter Egg Hunting began in America when German immigrants brought their Osterhase tradition to Pennsylvania in the 1700s. The festivity soon spread across the nation, and baskets replaced nests. Eventually, the game evolved into a treasure hunt, and the prizes expanded from just hard-boiled eggs to include chocolate, candy, toys and coins. 04/01/2022 Page 1 of 12 TT267 Probing Circuit Connectors (Continued) Mechanical Key Usage & Alarm Operation (TIN-22-54-003) AFFECTED VEHICLES: 2022 Outlander PURPOSE: To inform dealers of the normal operation of the vehicle security system when using a mechanical key to lock or unlock the vehicle. 22 Outlander Mechanical Key Usage & Alarm Set Status The 22 Outlander is not equipped with a door lock/unlock sensor on the backside of the door lock cylinder. Because of this, the alarm will trigger if the vehicle was previously locked using the FAST key or the request switch was pressed on the door and then opened using a mechanical key. Please see below to understand the normal operational characteristics of the system. When Using Mechanical Key to Lock Vehicle Alarm is not set. If vehicle is broken into alarm will not be triggered. Only driver door will lock. Other doors will not lock and would have to be locked using the interior lock switch or by manually locking each door. When Using Mechanical Key to Unlock Vehicle Alarm will trigger if it was previously set by locking vehicle using interior door lock switch, FAST key lock button, or lock request button on a vehicle door. o To silence the alarm, a FAST key must be in range of the vehicle request switch when it is pressed, pressing the unlock button on the FAST key, or by using the FAST key to start the vehicle. o If the FAST key is not available, FAST key programming must be completed before the alarm can be disabled. Refer to ID Codes & Registration in MDL Information Resources. Only driver door will unlock. Other doors must be unlocked using interior door switch or manually unlocking each door from within the vehicle. **Mechanical keys do not operate the windows. 04/01/2022 Page 2 of 12 TT267 Fully Seating the IOD Fuse during PDI --- All Models As a friendly reminder, the IOD (Ignition Off Draw) fuse (see photo below) is left disconnected during the manufacturing process to ensure that there is no drain on the 12V battery while the vehicle is being transported to the port or stored at the dealer. Therefore, the dealer is responsible for making sure the IOD fuse is fully seated prior to delivering the vehicle to the customer (reference the PDI Checklist included in this document). Any claim associated with the IOD fuse not being fully seated should not be considered warrantable. *Note: Some vehicles like the Mirage and Mirage G4 use an IOD connector that uses a double detent which gives the feeling that there are two steps when engaging the fuses. Making sure both detents are fully seated will ensure full engagement of the IOD fuse. Below is a photo of an IOD Fuse within a 2017 Mirage G4: 04/01/2022 Page 3 of 12 TT267 04/01/2022 Page 4 of 12 TT267 Apple CarPlay Connectivity Issues: Resolved (iOS 15.2) --- Mirage / Mirage G4 Apple CarPlay connectivity has been a frequent issue found in Mirages and Mirage G4s equipped with various MOBIS Audio Units over the past couple years. Following internal investigations and discussions with suppliers: the root cause was found to be compatibility issues within the iPhone software. Apple’s recent iPhone update, iOS 15.2, included bug-fixes to counteract this concern moving forward. MOBIS, MMNA, and MMC have validated that this update has successfully resolved most of these connectivity issues. Moving forward, please ensure you are using an iPhone that is fully updated (iOS 15.2 or above) before diagnosing an Audio Unit’s connectivity issues and submitting a warranty claim. 04/01/2022 Page 5 of 12 TT267 TAKATA RECALL KEY STATISTICS TOP TWO DEALERS FOR TAKATA RECALL COMPLETION: BELL ROAD MITSUBISHI SALT LAKE MITSUBISHI CONGRATULATIONS! 04/01/2022 Page 6 of 12 TT267 TECHNICAL TRAINING SCHEDULE: March, April, and May 2022 Please note: Always check MDL for schedule updates.

Many summers I stayed on my grandfather’s farm in East Tennessee, so I was well aware of the beauty, history, our roots and loved it here. But I never planned to live here. Unexpected life events happened, and I relocated with my two young children to Middle Tennessee convinced we’d eventually move back to Texas. Instead, they've thrived here as have I; so Tennessee is Home Sweet Home with a side of bitter sweet. Unintentionally, most of my career has been in the transportation industry be it shuttle, aircraft, or vehicle: NASA-Johnson Space Center, Delta Airlines, Nissan North America, and finally Mitsubishi Motors North America. My mom retired from General Motors and my father was a salesperson at a Chevrolet Dealership prior to starting his own company. Coincident or not, I’ve enjoyed the journey that has landed me here at MMNA where every day is different, challenging but also very rewarding. The Publications Specialist title doesn’t adequately describe this position which involves more than publishing. Working with vendors, creating content, process improvement, working closely with Parts, Product Planning etc., monthly accounting functions, and observing vehicle repair validations, are a few other aspects that fill my days. Fortunately, I despise boredom, and, in this role, I am never. My grands are currently a horse and 7 dogs! When I am not working, I am spending time with my (black) Blue Heeler, Bootsy, and family. Hiking, kayaking, boating, decorating my home, or traveling near or far are what interest me most. Some of my favorite destinations are Mexico (12 visits), Puerto Rico (2 visits), Cayman Islands, Bahamas, and Tahiti. I’ve experienced a typhoon, hurricanes, a tornado, and earthquake on islands, the Baja and mainland. If you have a story to tell, you have been lucky ~ I do & I am! Live your best life! 04/01/2022 Page 9 of 12 TT267 QUOTES “None of us is as smart as all of us.” — Ken Blanchard “A lot of problems in the world would be solved if we talked to each other instead of about each other.” – Nickey Gumbel “In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words: people, product, and profits. Unless you’ve got a good team, you can’t do much with the other two.” – Lee Iaccoca MMNA WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU If you have any technical information to share or an idea, please let us know! Send an email to: [email protected]. Be sure to include: Your name, title, and dealer name. 04/01/2022 Page 10 of 12 TT267 TSB/TIN/ATIN REVIEW Since Tech Talk 266, the following bulletins have been published: 04/01/2022 Page 11 of 12 TT267 NEWS & NOTES Automotive News - March 9, 2022 Mitsubishi Motors North America is tapping brand veteran Mark Chaffin as CEO effective April 1, replacing Yoichi Yokozawa, who will return to Tokyo in a new management role.
