REPAIR PROCEDURE
Preliminary Steps
1. Using the Superscreen review the warranty repair history to determine if this procedure has already been completed. If a warranty claim indicates that the procedure has been previously completed do not continue with this Technical Service Bulletin.
Configure the FCM
Using the MUT-III change the status of the Trailer Tow Relay Outputs from Disabled to Enabled as follows:
1. Connect the MUT-III to the VCI using the USB 2.0 cable (MB991827). Connect the VCI to the data link connector of the vehicle using the MUT-III main harness A with the blue connector (MB991910) and turn on the ignition.
2. From the Raider STV main menu click System Select.
3. The VIN will be automatically input. Confirm that is correct.
4. Select FCM (Front Control/Central Gateway).
Click the check mark at the bottom of the screen.
5. Select Misc. Function.
6. Select Enable Trailer Tow Outputs.
Click the check mark at the bottom of the page.

"This routine will update the FCM/CGW configuration to either enable or disable the left and right trailer tow relay outputs. This is to only be used in conjunction with Mitsubishi's Trailer Tow Kit."
NOTE:
The 2008 Raider is not equipped with a tow kit, but it is factory equipped with the trailer wiring harness connector.
Click the check mark at the bottom of the screen to continue.
