SUBJECT VEHICLE: 2008-09 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

SENSOR IN TIRE? No (sensors located on the wheel).

RESET PROCEDURE? Yes (whenever the TPMS receiver or transmitter is replaced).

SPECIAL TOOLS NEEDED? Yes (TPMS Magnet MIT46716; Scan Tool MUT-III Sub Assembly MB991958; the Vehicle Communication Interface V.C.I. MB991824; the MUT-III USB Cable MB991827; and the MUT-III Main Harness A MB991910).

The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in the 2008-09 Mitsubishi Eclipse consists of the following components: four TPMS transmitters, a TPMS antenna, a TPMS receiver and a TPMS warning indicator.

The transmitters are located on the wheel well and have a built-in tire pressure sensor. The transmitters measure tire pressure levels and send the data via radio frequency to the antenna. The TPMS antenna translates the signal and determines whether or not the TPMS warning indicator needs to be illuminated.

When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the warning light will remain illuminated if one or more of the vehicle’s tires exhibits low pressure. If the pressure level is lower than 25.3 psi, the TPMS warning indicator will illuminate.
