WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
(1) Improper service or maintenance of any component of the SRS or any SRS-related component,
can lead to personal injury or death to service personnel (from inadvertent firing of the air bag)
or to the driver and passenger (from rendering the SRS inoperative).
(2) The SRS components and seat belt with pretensioner should not be subjected to heat, so
remove the SRS-ECU, driver’s and front passenger’s air bag modules, clock spring, side air bag
modules, and seat belt -pre-tensioner before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.
• SRS-ECU, air bag module and clock spring 93°C or more
• Seat belt with pre-tensioner: 90°C or more
(3) Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed
only at an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(4) MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this Manual, and especially its GROUP
52B - Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), before beginning any service or maintenance of
any component of the SRS or any SRS-related component.

Health Warning
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In
addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Adequate means of skin protection and washing
facilities must be provided.
Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example by
using enclosed systems for handling used engine oil
and by degreasing components, where practicable,
before handling them. Other precautions:
• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
• Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.
M1121000100357
• Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly
underpants, with oil.
• Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls
without pockets will avoid this.
• Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and
oil-impregnated foot-wear. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly and kept separate from
personal clothing.
• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye
protection should be worn, for example, chemical
goggles or face shields; in addition an eye wash
facility should be provided.
• Obtain first aid treatment immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
• Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all
oil is removed, especially before meals (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After
cleaning, the application of preparations
containing lanolin to replace the natural skin oils
is advised.
• Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil,
thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
• Use barrier creams, applying them before each
work period, to help the removal of oil from the
skin after work.
• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice
without delay.

The cooling system is designed to keep every part of
the engine at appropriate temperature in whatever
condition the engine may be operated. The cooling
method is of the water-cooled, pressure forced
circulation type in which the water pump pressurizes
coolant and circulates it throughout the engine. If the
coolant temperature exceeds the prescribed
temperature, the thermostat opens to circulate the
coolant through the radiator as well so that the heat
absorbed by the coolant may be radiated into the air.
The water pump is of the centrifugal type and is
driven by the alternator drive belt from the
crankshaft. The radiator is the corrugated fin, down
flow type.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
• The cooling fan motor drive control unit is
powered from fusible link (2).
• The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU
<A/T> uses input signals from the A/C switch, the
water temperature sensor unit and the vehicle
speed sensor <M/T> or the output shaft speed
sensor <A/T> to control the speed of the cooling
fan motor (L.H.) and the cooling fan motor (R.H.)
<4G1 (Vehicles with A/C)> or A/C condenser fan
motor <4G6>.
• The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU

The charging system uses the alternator output to

OPERATION
Voltage
Approximately
14.4 V
Time
Rotation of the excited field coil generates AC
voltage in the stator.
This alternating current is recti fi ed through diodes to
DC voltage having a waveform shown in the
illustration.
AKX00183
AC
M1161000100522
The average output voltage fluctuates slightly with
the alternator load condition.
When the igni tion swit ch is tur ned o n, cu rrent fl ows in
the field coil and initial excitation of the field coil
occurs.
When the stator coil begins to generate power after
the engine is started, the field coil is excited by the
output current of the stator coil.
The alternator output voltage rises as the field
current increases and it falls as the fi eld current
decreases. When the battery voltage (al ternator "S"
terminal voltage) reaches a regulated voltage of
approximately 14.4 V, the field current is cut off.
When the battery voltage drops below the regulated
voltage, the voltage regulator regulates the output
voltage to a constant level by controlling the field
current.
In addition, when the field current is constant, the
alternator output volt age rises as the engine speed
increases.

3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Connect a clamp-type DC test ammeter with a
range of 0 − 120 A to the alternator "B" terminal
output wire.
NOTE: The way of disconnecting the alternator
output wire and of connecting the ammeter is
possibly not found the problem that the output
current is dropping due to the insufficient
connection between terminal "B" and the output
wire.
5. Connect a digital-type voltmeter between the
alternator "B" terminal and the battery (+)
terminal. [Connect the (+) lead of the vol tmeter to
the "B" terminal a nd the connect the (- ) lead of th e
voltmeter to the battery (+) cable].
6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
7. Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II /III (Refer to
GROUP 11 A − On-vehicle Service − Idle speed
check <4G1> P.11A-11 or GROUP 11C −
On-vehicle Service − Idle speed check <4G6>
P.11C-11).
8. Leave the hood open.
9. Start the engine.
10.With the engine running at 2,500 r/min, turn the
headlamps and other lamps on and off to adjust
the alternator load so that the value displayed on
the ammeter is slightly above 30 A.
Adjust the engine speed by gradually decreasing
it until the value displayed on the ammeter is 30
A. Take a reading of the value displayed on the
voltmeter at this time.
Limit: maximum 0.3 V
NOTE: When the alternator output is high and the
value displayed on the ammeter does not
decrease until 30 A, set the value to 40 A. Read
the value displayed on the voltmeter at this time.
When the value range is 40 A, the limit is
maximum 0.4 V.
11.If the value displayed on the voltmeter is above
the limit value, there is probably a malfunct ion i n
the alternator output wire, so check the wirin g
between the alternator "B" termina l and the
battery (+) terminal (including fusible link).
If a terminal is not sufficiently tight or if the
harness has become discolored due to
overheating, repair and then test again.
12.After the test, run the engine at idle.

CAUTION
Never use clips but tighten bolts and nuts to
connect the line. Otherwise loose connections
(e.g. using clips) will lead to a serious accident
because of high current.
4. Connect a clamp-type DC test ammeter with a
range of 0 − 120 A to the alternator "B" terminal
output wire.
NOTE: The way of disconnecting the alternator

P.11C-11).
8. Leave the hood open.
9. Check that the reading on the voltmeter is equal
to the battery voltage.
NOTE: If the voltage is 0 V, the cause is probably
an open circuit in the wire or fusible link between
the alternator "B" terminal and the battery (+)
terminal.
10.Turn the li ght swi tch on to tur n on headlamp s and
then start the engine.
11.Immediately after setting the headlamps to high
beam and turning the heater blower switch to the
high revolution position, increase the engine
speed to 2,500 r/min and read the maximum
current output value displayed on the ammeter.
Limit: 70 % of normal current output
NOTE: .
•
For the nominal current output, refer to the
Alternator Specifications.
•
Because the current from the battery wi ll soon
drop after the engine is started, the above step
should be carried out as quickly as possible in
order to obtain the maximum current output
value.
•
The current output value will depend on the
electrical load and the temperature of the
alternator body.
•
If the electrical load is small while testing, the
specified level of current may not be output
even though the alternator is normal. In such
cases, increase the electrical load by leaving
the headlamps turned on for some time to
discharge the battery or by using the lighting
system in another vehicle, and then t est a gain.
•
The specified level of current also may not be
output if the temperature of the alternator body
or the ambient temperature is too high. In such
cases, cool the alternator and then test agai n.
12.The reading on the ammeter should be above the
limit value. If the reading is below the limit value
and the alternator output wire is normal, remove
the alternator from the engine and check the
alternator.
13.Run the engine at idle after the test.

GENERAL INFORMATION
If the ignition switch is tu rned to the "STA RT"
position, current flows in the pull-in and holding coils
provided inside magnetic switch, att racting the
plunger, When the plunger is attracted, the lever
connected to the plunger is actuated to engage the
starter clutch.
On the other hand, attracting the plunger will turn on
the magnetic switch, allowing the "B" terminal and
"M" terminal to conduct. Thus, current flows to
engage the starter motor.

IGNITION SYSTEM
IGNITION SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
This system is equ ipped with two i gnitio n coils ( A and
B) with built-in power transisto rs for the No. 1 and
No. 4 cylinders and the No. 2 and No. 3 cylinders
respectively.
Interruption of the primary curr ent flowing in the
primary side of ignition coil A generates a high
voltage in the secondary side of igniti on coil A. The
high voltage thus generated is applied to the spark
plugs of No. 1 and No. 4 cylinders to generate
sparks. At the time that the sparks are generated at
both spark plugs, if one cylinder is at the
compression stroke, the other cylinder is at the
exhaust stroke, so that ignition of the compressed
air/fuel mixture occurs only for the cylinder which is
at the compression stroke.
In the same way, when the primary current flowing in
ignition coil B is interrupted, the high voltage thus
generated is applied to the spark plugs of No. 2 and
No. 3 cylinders.
SYSTEM DIAGRAM
M1163000100294
The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>
turns the two power transistors inside the ignition
coils alternately on and off. This causes the primary
currents in the ignition coils to be a lt e rnately
interrupted and allowed to flow to fire the cylinders in
the order 1-3-4-2.
The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>
determines which ignition coil should be control led
by means of the signals from the camshaft position
sensor which is incorporated in the camshaft and
from the crank angle sensor which i s incorporated in
the crankshaft. I t also detec ts t he crank shaf t posi tion
in order to provide ignition at the most appropriate
timing in response to the engine operation
conditions. It also detects the crankshaft position in
order to provide ignition at the most appropriate
timing in response to the engine operation
conditions.
When the engine is cold or operated at high
altitudes, the ignition timing is slightly advanced to
provide optimum performance.
When the automatic transmission shifts gears, the
ignition timing is also retarded in order to reduce
output torque, thereby alleviating shifting shocks.

IGNITION SECONDARY VOLTAGE
WAVEFORM CHECK USING AN
OSCILLOSCOPE
M1163001700170
MEASUREMENT METHOD
1. Clamp the secondary pickup around the spark
plug cable.
NOTE: .
•
The peak ignition voltage will be rever sed
when the spark plug cables No. 2 and No. 4,
or No. 1 and No. 3 cylinders are clamped.
•
Because of the two-cylinder simultaneous
ignition system, the waveforms for two
cylinders in each group appear during
waveform observation (No. 1 cylinder - No. 4
cylinder, No. 2 cylinder - No. 3 cylinder).
However , waveform observation is only
applicable for the cylinder with the spark plug
cable clamped by the secondary pickup.
•
Identifying which cylinder waveform is
displayed can be difficult. For refer ence,
remember that the waveform of the cylinder
attached to the secondary pickup will be
displayed as stable.
2. Clamp the spark plug cable with the trigger
pickup.
NOTE: Clamp the trigger pickup to the same
spark plug cable clamped by the secondary
pickup.
