Programming procedures
What the job needs
- Add a key: 1 existing working key required.
- All keys lost: no existing working key needed.
- PIN / security code: 4C PIN tool-side OBD.
- Online / server access: not required (offline programming).
- On-board (no tool) sequence: not available — Mitsubishi Lancer 4C requires professional OBD tool — no self-programming procedure.
- On site: engine off · Maintain 12V+ · Clear IMMO DTCs.
- Bring: Photo ID + vehicle registration. VIN cross-check before start.
Tool coverage
Documented for this case on: Autel IM608 Pro II · Autel IM508S · Autel KM100 · Xhorse Key Tool Plus · Xhorse Key Tool Max Pro · Lonsdor K518 Pro / K519 · OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus · AutoProPad G2/G3 · Advanced Diagnostics Smart Pro · Launch X431 IMMO Elite / IMMO Plus. Step-by-step menu paths for each tool are in the app.
Notes & cautions
- This chassis Mitsubishi Lancer uses Texas 4C ID4C transponder (2001-2007). Older fixed-code Texas 4C — Autel IM608 Pro II + IMKPA Mitsubishi, Lonsdor K518 USA, Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus all support 4C add-key. Standard 16-pin DLC OBD path; no XP400 PRO bench needed for OBD enrolment.
- Smart proximity or remote head key: ensure existing key fob battery is functional before starting.
- Verify chip before booking (this chassis facelift): Mitsubishi spans 4C (pre-2007) → 4D61 (2003-2011) → ID46 HITAG-2 (2008-2017) → ID47 HITAG-3 (2018+) → HITAG-AES 4A (2022+) — confirm transponder ID from a working key with Lonsdor K518 reader before quoting.
- Tool kit context: Autel IMKPA Mitsubishi module is the dominant add-key accessory (~$5-15/session for AES). Lonsdor LKE Smart Key Emulator for K518 simulated-key flow. Xhorse KH100 Mitsubishi module also confirmed. APB112 simulator, G-Box bench EEPROM NOT required for OBD-only add-key. XP400 PRO only for IMMO box bench fallback.
- All existing keys erased. Bring ALL replacement keys before starting — minimum 2.
- No manual AKL for Mitsubishi Lancer 4C — professional tool mandatory.
- AKL for Mitsubishi 4C via OBD; some chassis facelift years require NASTF PIN — confirm AKL path before quoting.
- Keep all existing/lost key fobs at least 10 metres from vehicle during AKL.
- AKL accessory needs: Autel IMKPA + Mitsubishi AES token for cloud calc, Lonsdor LKE Smart Key Emulator for K518 simulated-key AKL path, KH100 Mitsubishi token. APB112 NOT mandatory. G-Box bench NOT used. XP400 PRO only if IMMO box EEPROM corrupted (rare).
Lockout
Door pick / decode: Lishi MIT11 (CW).
