Battery Cable

Before beginning work, turn the ignition key to “LOCK” position and disconnect the black negative battery cable. Wrap the terminal in electrical tape to prevent it from touching the battery post.

Wait 60 seconds or more before proceeding. The Supplemental Restraint System is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bags for a short time even if the battery is disconnected during a crash.

As a further caution, do not let the console bump against the SRS control module during the radio removal operation.

Shown at left is an example of the label affixed to the radio with the information you need.

The following instructions are intended to provide only a general overview of the radio removal process. They are intended for use by qualified technicians. Qualified technicians are properly trained individuals having the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and knowledge to do this procedure properly and safely. Please refer to the complete service manual on Mitsubishitechinfo.com for detailed instructions and safety warnings. If you are not comfortable in removing your radio, we recommend taking your vehicle to an Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Dealership.

WARNINGDuring removal and installation of the radio, never touch or damage yellow color wire harnesses/connectors and/or parts with a yellow connector. Those are components of the SRS air bag system. Damaging SRS airbag components can result in inadvertent air bag deployment or render the SRS air bag system inoperative.
