My Mitsubishi Triton trouble about SRS system with clock spring.

My Mitsubishi Triton trouble about SRS system with clock spring.
       My car showed SRS warning lamp. I use M.U.T.-III connect ecu for check error code. The result is problem at clock spring unit. The SRS-ECU diagnoses the following items and stores a diagnosis code in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM*1) when a problem is detected. Therefore, the memory is not deleted after a battery terminal is disconnected. (The diagnosis code memory can be deleted by the M.U.T.-III).

SRS warning lamp still show (Upper from Mitsubishi manual)

      If the SRS lamp still show after start engine the air bag and seat belt with pre-tensioner system will not work. So it's very dangerous when a crash.

Clock spring is??? 
     The clock spring set up between the steering column and steering wheel. And function is a special rotary electric connection between SRS ECU and air bag module. Because air bag module locate on steering wheel and it make streering wheel turn around.
Clock spring position (Mitsubishi manual)

     I change clock spring part at Mitsubishi service center. And I disassemble it shown with lower picture. The clock spring consist ribbon cable, connector and rotary part for keep ribbon cable.

Caution on clock spring
CAUTION: SRS CLOCK SPRING PLEASE DO NOT TURN EXCEPT WHEN REQUIRED. THIS IS NOT A REPAIRABLE PART. IF DEFECTIVE, PLEASE REPLACE ENTIRE UNIT ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS. ALIGNMENT OF MODULES IS NECESSALY WHEN THEY ARE ADJUSTED AND/OR INSTALLED FOR THE ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES, FOLLOW THE SERVICE MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.

Remark :When remove SRS system part must disconnect battery terminal before.

Triton Transfer roll stopper tear.



    After trip hard offroad. Car have some symptoms from normal. The vibration during accelerate from rest. And very high vibration if i need more torque. I have checked the car's suspension system not found problem at that. And then i observed failure of the rubber of transfer mount bracket and transfer roll stopper. Because when use in offroad the part will absorb force from high torque of the gear. 

Change new part 
New part (left) and Old part (right)

     I bought the transfer roll stopper at part store in mitsubishi show room.  The price of them are 6$ per unit.

Solution for transfer roll stopper installation.


1.Tighten the transfer roll stopper provisionally.

2.Tighten the transfer roll stopper inner and outer so that the clearance (A) between them is as shown in the illustration. (44 ± 9 N·m for transfer mouth bracket, 25 ± 5 N·m for leg of transfer roll stopper) 


3.Check that the clearance (B) between the stoppers are the same picture.
