PARTS
When replacing parts, use MITSUBISHI genuine parts.
VEHICLE WVASHING
If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam car-washing
equipment is used to wash the vehicle, be sure to maintain the
spray nozzle at a distance of at least 300 mm (1 1.8 in.) from
any plastic parts and all opening parts (doors, luggage
compartment, etc.).
SERVICING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When servicing the electrical system, disconnect the negative
cable terminal from the battery.
Caution
Before connecting or disconnecting the negative cable, be
sure to turn off the ignition switch and the lighting switch.
(If this is not done, there is the possibility of semiconductor
parts being damaged.)
WIRING HARNESSES
1. Secure the wiring harnesses by using clamps so that there
is no slack. However, for any harness which passes to the
engine or other vibrating parts of the vehicle, allow some
slack within a range that does not allow the engine
vibrations to cause the harness to come into contact with
any of the surrounding parts. Then secure the harness by
using a clamp.
In addition, if a mounting indication mark (yellow tape) is
on a harness, secure the indication mark in the specified
location.
2. If any section of a wiring harness contacts the edge of a
part, or a corner, wrap the section of the harness with tape
or something similar in order to protect it from damage.

PRINTED HEATER LINES
INSPECTION N08PKAA
1. The printed heater lines should be tested while the engine
is running at 2,000 rpm and the battery is being charged.
2. Turn the defogger switch to the “ON” position, and use
voltmeter to measure the voltage of each printed heater
line at the back door window glass center point “A”.
3. If all of the heater lines indicate approximately 6V, the back
door window printed heater lines are functioning properly.
4. If a voltage of 12V is indicated at point “A”, the heater line
is broken between point “A” and the negative (-) terminal.
Move the test probe gradually toward the negative (-)
terminal, and search for the place where there is a sudden
change in the voltage (to 0 V).
5. This place where the voltage suddenly changes indicates
the location of the broken heater line.
6. If OV is indicated at point “A”, the heater line is broken
between point “A” and the positive (+) terminal. Find the
point where there is a sudden change in the voltage (to
12V). as described in step 4. above.
REPAIR
I. Prepare the following items:
e Conductive paint
@ Paint thinner
e Masking tape, decal, etc.
a, Unleaded gasoline
@ Thin brush
Wipe the glass adjacent to the broken heater line, clean
with unleaded gasoline, and bond a decal or masking tape
as shown.
2. Shake the electroconductive paint container well, and
remove the amount of paint needed. Dilute it with a small
quantity of paint thinner, and apply three coats with the
brush at intervals of about 15 minutes.
3. Remove the tape or decal and leave the repaired defogger
unused for a while before supplying power.
4. For a better finish, scrape away excess deposits with a
knife after drying is complete (one day later).
Caution
After repair, clean the glass with a soft dry shop towel
or wipe along the printed heater line with a slightly
moistened shop towel.
