Active Skid Control System (ASC)

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer L4-2.4L (4B12)SECTION Active Skid Control System (ASC)
IN THE EVENT OF A DISCHARGED BATTERY

WARNING
If the ASC is not operating, the vehicle will be unstable during braking, Do not drive the vehicle with the ASC-ECU connector disconnected or with the ASC not operating.


If the engine is started using a booster cable when the battery is completely flat, and the vehicle is then driven without waiting for the battery to be recharged, the engine may misfire and it may not be possible to drive the vehicle. This is because the ASC consumes a large amount of current when carrying out its initial checks. If this happens, recharge the battery fully.
