PROCEDURE 1. Test drive the vehicle. Use Chassis Ears® to determine if the noise is coming from the upper or lower control arm (or both). a. If the noise is NOT coming from a rear control arm, diagnose and repair/replace the appropriate component(s), as necessary. Do not continue with this bulletin procedure. b. If the noise is coming from a rear control arm, continue with this bulletin procedure. 2. On the side of the vehicle where the noise occurs, determine whether the noise occurs at the upper or the lower control arm. Use the new parts listed in the PARTS INFORMATION section of this bulletin. Refer to Group 34 in the appropriate service manual. U.S. Vehicles: If the noise occurs at the lower control arm, replace the lower control arm outer (pillow ball) bushing. If the noise occurs at the upper control arm, replace the upper control arm assembly. a. Lower Arm Bushing (Outer Pillow Ball Bushing) Replacement Procedure: Use special tools MB990969?01, MB990971?01, and MB990996?01 to drive out and press?fit the bushing. After press?fitting, the space between the edges of the bushing outer sleeve and the lower arm should be 3 mm (0.12 inch). MB990957?01: Lower Arm Bushing Remover and Installer (includes MB990969?01 and MB990971?01) MB990996?01: Lower Arm Bushing Arbor NOTE: These special tools will be available from SPX/OTC in early August. (They will not be Essential Tools.) Canada Vehicles: ? If the noise occurs at the lower control arm, replace the lower control arm assembly. ?

Some affected vehicles may experience any or all of the following DTCs and/or symptoms after the vehicle is operated in very cold weather (approximately ?22o F (?30oC) or colder) after a short drive (5 ? 10 minutes) followed by a 15 ? 20 minute cold soak.DTC P0657 P1590 U0101 None U0100 P0201 ? P0206 This condition is caused by condensation freezing inside the relay, rendering it inoperative. Should you suspect very cold weather has caused this condition in an affected vehicle, follow the procedure below to identify and replace described relays with modified parts. AFFECTED VEHICLES 2007?10 Outlander (2.4L 4 cyl & 3.0L V6) built prior to November 16, 2009. 2008?10 Lancer, built prior to November 16, 2009. 2008?10 Lancer Evolution built prior to November 16, 2009. 2009?10 Lancer Sportback built prior to November 16, 2009. PROCEDURE 1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (off) position. 2. Locate the relay box inside the engine compartment and open the cover. 3. Refer to the illustrations on pages 2 through 4 of this TSB and replace relays as follows: Vehicles equipped with A/T or CVT ? Replace the Injector Relay, Starter Relay, Throttle Actuator Control Motor Relay, AT/CVT Control Relay with p/n 8627A024, and replace the MFI relay with p/n MR400709. Vehicles equipped with M/T or SST ? Replace the Injector Relay, Starter Relay, Throttle Actuator Control Motor Relay with p/n 8627A024, and replace the MFI relay with p/n MR400709.

1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove engine undercover. Place wooden block between jack and oil pan, and raise engine slightly. Remove engine mount assembly near timing belt cover. 2. Remove clamp for power steering return hose near timing belt cover. Remove all drive belts and tensioner pulley bracket. See Fig. 1 . Remove power steering and water pump pulleys. Rotate crankshaft clockwise so that No. 1 cylinder is at TDC of compression stroke. Remove crankshaft pulley. CAUTION: DO NOT rotate crankshaft counterclockwise. Ensure timing marks are aligned. If reusing timing belts, mark timing belts for direction of rotation. 3. Remove upper timing belt cover and gasket. Remove stub bolt of engine support bracket, and remove center timing belt cover. Remove lower timing belt cover. NOTE: Camshaft sprocket dowel pins will be in 12 o’clock position when timing marks are correctly aligned. 4. Ensure camshaft, crankshaft and oil pump sprocket timing marks are aligned. See Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 . Loosen tensioner pulley center bolt. Move tensioner to relieve timing belt tension. Remove timing belt. Remove timing belt auto tensioner. See Fig. 1 . 5. Remove plug from left side of cylinder block. Install a .31″ (8.0 mm) diameter Phillips screwdriver into the hole against balance shaft. See Fig. 4 . Screwdriver must go in at least 2.36″ (60 mm) or more. If screwdriver will only go in about .79-.98″ (20-25 mm) before striking balance shaft, turn sprocket one revolution and align timing mark. Keep screwdriver in place until timing belt is installed. This ensures balance shaft driven by oil pump sprocket remains in correct position. 6. To remove timing belt “B” (balance shaft belt), hold crankshaft sprocket stationary with a spanner wrench. Remove crankshaft sprocket bolt. Using gear puller, remove outer crankshaft sprocket. 7. Remove crankshaft sensing blade (if equipped). See Fig. 5 . Loosen timing belt “B” tensioner bolt. If reusing timing belt “B”, mark direction of belt rotation for reassembly reference. Remove timing belt “B”.

2 Pre-Installation Before installing theVi-PEC VX ECU into the vehicle some pre-installation checks must be performed. 2.1 Injector Impedance Injector impedance is important and needs consideration before installing the ECU. 2.1.1 Mitsubishi ECUs The Mitsubishi VX Plug-In ECU is NOT designed to be used directly with low impedance injectors. All models this ECU is designed for are fitted with low impedance injectors from factory. Current through low impedance injectors is reduced by the use of factory fitted injector ballast resisters. This means that the ECU is plug-in compatible with factory fitted injector combinations on all models. DO NOT remove the factory fitted ballast resisters. 3 Installation This guide provides information on correctly and safely installing your new Vi-PEC VX Plug- In ECU. 3.1 ECU Handling Procedures
