Hello,

I have a 2007 Outlander XLS that won`t start, don't even crank. The car had flood damage

No check engine or service engine light are on, all the components seems to me working fine: remote, keyless entry, dash, navigation, radio, power locks, windows, fans, phone, turn signals, low beam, wiper...

When I try to start the car I can hear the fuel pump working but the car won`t even crank and the navigation system reboots itself.

Starter works, battery new, all fuses are good. If I connect the starter relay leg 3 to 4 for the starter work but the engine wont start. I got sparks at the plugs and gas as well.

When I scan for codes I got 3 things:
air condition: SRS-ABG CAN timeout
Meter:SRS-ABG CAN timeout
ETACS:SRS-ABG CAN timeout

Is this ok to buy and use?

Thanks!

 

There are around $400 versions of MUT III.

But what makes you think it will solve your issue?

 

Hi Vadimus,

I have never owned or worked on Mitsubishi before, but I taught one of the main feature on a MUT III is advance diagnostic. I don't really know what's wrong if this is a CAN Bus issue or SRS-ECU issue or the ETACS-ECU issue.

I also wonder if these errors got anything to do with the fact that the starter won`t get a signal from the ECU to start, because it does not. Once I do manually, the starter starts, got spark at the plugs, got fuel at the plugs and, I can hear the fuel pump working but nothing happens the engine itself wont even try to start.

 

I would say non-working SRS won't prevent engine from starting.
Check all fuses, relays, connectors.

 

I checked all the fuses some of the relays and all the connectors.

I think I might flood the engine with gas already, plus I never checked if it gets any air or not. Once I get home from work I will check these.

Thank you for your help!

 

Engine flooded with gas won't start yet it would still crank.
Is the starter kicking in?

 

I figured out some part of it. Looks like the throttle was stuck, I opened up with a screwdriver and after that the engine started up fine and was running nicely at least for a good 5-7 second when something started smoking. I shut the engine off to see what happened and the belt started burning, looks like something is stuck or seized up

I will start from here tomorrow and find out what's caused it.

Thank you for your help!

 

timing belt or accessory drive belt?

could have locked up a/c compressor.

 

Looks like The Power s. pump belt tensioner get stacked or broke and the belt started cutting in, in seconds. I worked on other cars before but never seen a plastic tensioner before. Stopped by at the dealership to get the belt and the tensioner asap, got a $40 discount and it was still $150 Next time I will just get it online.

 

Got it, pulled out the SRS-ECU and it`s destroyed
