SUBJECT:
OPERATION OF "TWO-TURN" DOOR UNLOCKING SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
THIS BULLETIN REPLACES ADVANCE TECHNICAL INFORMATION NOTICE ATIN-93-00-004.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Most 1994 MMSA (Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America, Inc.) vehicles are equipped with a "two-turn" door lock on the driver's side door. This new
feature is found on all 1994 MMSA vehicles with power door locks, except Eclipse.
Recent warranty claims indicate there is customer confusion on the correct operation of the two-turn door lock, especially when vehicles are equipped
with remote keyless entry (RKE) and/or associated alarm systems.
This bulletin provides a brief operational explanation of the two-turn door lock system and the interaction of the system with RKE and/or associated
alarm systems.* The information in this bulletin should be relayed to all Service and Sales personnel at your dealership.
*
Further details on these systems can be found in the referenced publications listed at the end of this bulletin.
DESCRIPTION
The two-turn door lock offers vehicle owners the option of unlocking just the driver's side door or all doors through a simple alteration of the key turning
method. With all doors locked, here's how it works:
-
To unlock just the driver's side door, insert the key in the door lock and turn it once to the right.
-
To unlock all doors, insert the key, turn it to the right, return it to the vertical position, then turn it to the right a second time.
-
The passenger's side door lock does not have the two-turn unlocking feature.
