VEHICLE TECHNICAL INFO
GROUP 00 - General
REMOVING THE UNDERHOOD POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX PROTECTIVE FILM -2013-15 Outlander Sport . The power distribution box cover is protected by a plastic film similar to Rap Gard during shipment to the assembly line. It is left in place as protection during vehicle assembly and shipment. Please remove it at PDI. Dealers wishing to maintain the added protection, should remove it prior to customer retail delivery or after 6 months of storage.
GROUP 13 - Fuel
DTC P0455 AND HARD STARTING AFTER FILLUP - 2004&later Galant, Endeavor, 2006&later Eclipse/Eclipse Spyder . When diagnosing DTC P0455 on subject vehicles, first, make sure the fuel cap is securely tightened. If so, check for incorrect evaporative system hose routing and damaged hoses to the air intake boot and valve cover. Cross connected or damaged hoses can cause P0455 to set. Here's a tip: Use the "Evap Leak Mon" test on the MUT-III and read Item No. 52 "Fuel tank differential PRS SNSR" on the data list. If the hoses are incorrectly routed, the sensor reading will be very low and show little or no change during the test.
GROUP 34 - Rear Suspension
NOISE FROM REAR SUSPENSION OVER BUMPS - 2014-15 Outlander Sport . If a customer reports a creaking noise from the rear of a new or very low mileage vehicle, the cause may be friction between the spring and the inner surface of the lower rear spring plate. The noise will go away in a very short time as the vehicle is driven. In the meantime, confirm the customer's report by jouncing the rear of the vehicle, then spray the area shown below with a light lubricant.
GROUP 52B - SRS Airbag
SRS LIGHT ON AT PDI, DTCs B1558 AND U0020 IN MEMORY - 2013&newer Outlander Sport . If a customer reports the SRS light is on and you find DTC B1558 "OCM (Occupant Classification Module) DTC Present" in the SRS-ECU and DTC U0020 - "CAN B Bus Off Performance" in the OCM, this may be caused by cycling the ignition key on and off multiple times within a few seconds while the IOD connector is disengaged. Should you encounter this situation, clear the DTCs and ensure the IOD is fully engaged (2 detents), then recheck for DTCs. For units in dealer storage with the IOD disengaged, do not cycle the ignition key on and off rapidly or this condition may occur.
