I've mentioned this at the old site before, but the back up fuse is tied into the SRS system for god knows whatever reason. When i bought my 96TT years ago, the SRS lamp was on. I drove to the old Mitsu dealership that i used to work at and plugged in the MUTII and pulled the code "## Low IG voltage". As i attempted to clear it, it would not clear. Checking the wiring diagram, noticed the SRS was tied into the "reverse lamp" circuit. Wouldn't you know it, but my reverse lamps weren't working also. I traced my reverse lamp failure to the backup fuse under the dash. Once i replaced the fuse, the SRS code was able to clear with the scan tool. Of course, the light came back on again the very second i dropped my transmission into reverse (i ended up having a failed reverse switch at the transmission that would blow the fuse in reverse). I ended up replacing the switch, installing a new fuse, reclearing the code- and all has been well since.

This "Low IG voltage" code can also appear when disconnecting your battery with the ignition switch in the ON position. So when doing any service work that requires a battery disconnect, be SURE the key is off before disconnecting the negative cable end.

So what is the potential issues with the SRS light? Airbag wont work?

From what i remember back in my days with Mitsu- if the SRS light is off, the system is defeated (off). If there are stored codes, but the light is off, the system is operational.

Any shop with a Snap-On scan tool and the Asian software can hook up to the SRS. That's all I use...

This is good, seeing as the closest mitsu dealer is 2 hours away.

Modus is cool, we have one, but I usually use my old MTG2500 on the old stuff like the 3S. Those are pretty common and cheap.
