Summary
Mitsubishi does not have a formal position statement on scanning, but their service manuals require the use of a scan tool for diagnosis, troubleshooting, calibrations, and checking for DTCs after a collision. Specifically, the 'Post-Collision Diagnosis' procedure in many Mitsubishi service manuals mandates reading, recording, and clearing DTCs regardless of airbag deployment status.
What to do on the job
Perform a scan tool diagnosis to read, record, and clear DTCs on post-collision vehicles as outlined in the Mitsubishi service manual's 'Post-Collision Diagnosis' procedure.
