PURPOSE
Certain 2014MY Outlander Sport / RVR vehicles may have been built with a TPMS transmitter internal
battery that may drain prematurely. This may result in a TPMS transmitter being unable to send a
signal to the TPMS controller. As a result, the TPMS indicator will illuminate.
This campaign bulletin instructs dealers to replace all rubber TPMS transmitters on affected vehicles
with new metal TPMS transmitters.

AFFECTED VEHICLES
Certain 2014 Outlander Sport/RVR vehicles built on or before September 11, 2013.

IMPORTANT
To maximize customer satisfaction with the quality of their vehicle, affected new or used
inventory vehicles should be remedied before the vehicle is delivered. Dealers must
check their inventory vehicles’ VINs on the Warranty Super Screen to verify whether the
vehicle is involved in this service campaign.

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
A letter will be sent to all owners of affected vehicles requesting them to visit their local Authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have their TPMS transmitters replaced. A copy of the customer
notification letter appears at the end of this bulletin.

REQUIRED OPERATIONS
Before starting this campaign procedure, CHECK THE WARRANTY SUPERSCREEN to verify if the
vehicle is an affected VIN for this campaign and this campaign procedure has not already been
completed.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
The following equipment is needed to register the TPMS transmitters:

VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) − MB991824.

MEDIC Laptop computer with A/C power adapter − 520924, or 547708.

l.

When the following prompt displays, “4 SNSR ID Registration Do you want to start? Note finish
ID Registration within 20 minutes”, click on the “OK” (check mark) icon.
NOTE: All four tire pressure sensor IDs must be registered within 20 minutes. If not registered within 20
minutes, all the ID codes registered in the TPMS controller will be erased and the registration
procedure must be restarted from the beginning.

m. Select any wheel. Decrease the tire pressure to under 25 psi and by an increment of at least 3
psi. Once the TPMS transmitter ID code registration is successful for that wheel, the TPMS
transmitter ID code will display on the MUT III / MEDIC screen.
IMPORTANT The MUT III / MEDIC cannot identify which registered TPMS transmitter corresponds with
which wheel. To match the wheel to the ID code, write down which wheel and the ID code
that displays on the MUT III / MEDIC screen when the wheel is successfully registered.
NOTE: You may begin registration with any of the four TPMS transmitters. The tire pressure sensor ID
registration does not require any specific order.
NOTE: It may take approximately one minute for the ID code to be displayed on the MUT III / MEDIC screen.
If the ID code is not displayed within one minute, reduce the tire pressure by at least another 3 psi.
If it still does not display, turn the wheel 180 degrees and reduce the tire pressure by at least another
3 psi again.
NOTE: If the ID code cannot be registered for all four wheels, the KOS−ECU may be faulty.
NOTE: If the ID code can be registered for one wheel or more, then the TPMS transmitter in which the code
cannot be registered may be faulty.

n. Repeat Step m until all four wheels are completed and all four TPMS transmitter ID codes are
registered.
o. When registration is complete, the phrase “4 SNSR ID Registration Completed.” is displayed.
Select “OK”.
NOTE: The TPMS indicator will be illuminated due to detection of low tire pressure.

b. P225/55R18: 33 psi
5. Check the data list for “Registered ID reception, Tire 1, 2, 3, 4” . If “YES” is displayed for each tire.
the TPMS transmitters were successfully registered. If “NO” is displayed for any tire, drive the vehicle
for approximately 5 minutes, then check the data list again. If “NO” is still displayed, repeat Steps 3−5
again.
6. Cycle the key. Determine if the TPMS indicator is illuminated. If illuminated, ensure the tire pressure
is set correctly on all four tires and repeat this step.
7. Erase DTCs from the ECU. From the MEDIC main page,
a. Click on MUT−III.
b. Select “Special Function”.
c.

Select “All DTCs”.
