SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
(1)A Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which uses a driver-side air bag, has been installed in the 3000GT.(2)The SRS includes the following components: impact sensors, SRS diagnosis unit: SRS warning light, air bagmodule, clock spring, interconnecting wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be
removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents byan asterisk (*).
WARNING!(I)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 (from
rendering the SRS inoperative).
(2) Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at anauthorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(3) MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP
528 -Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of theSRS or any SRS-related component.

Symptom
The starter is used to crank the engine, but there is no combustion within the
cylinders, and the engine won’t start.
There is combustion within the cylinders, but then the engine soon stalls.(Starting takes a long
time.)Engine won’t start quickly.
Idling instability
(Rough idling)Engine speed doesn’t remain constant; changes during idling.Usually, a judgement can be based upon the movement of the tachometer
>.rpointer, and the vibration transmitted to the steering wheel, shift lever, body, etc.
EThis is called rough idling.

@ Using a jumper wire, ground the self-diagnosis/data
transmission selector terminal (terminal
@) of theI
diagnosis connector (white).
dSelf-diagnosis/
ydata transmission
(4) Remove the waterproof female connector from the ignition
timing adjusting connector (brawn).(5) Using a jumper wire, ground the ignition timing adjusting
terminal.(6) Start the engine and run at idle.
(7) Check the basic idle speed.
When using the multi-use tester, select item No. 38 and
read the idle speed.
Basic idle
speeci: 700 + 50 rpm
NOTE(I) The engine speed may be low by 20 to 100 rpm while
the vehicle is new [distance driven approx. 500 km (300miles) or less], but no adjustment is necessary.
(2) If the engine stalls or speed is low despite a sufficient
distance driven [approx. 500 km (300 miles) or more], it
is probably due to deposits on the throttle valve. In thiscase, clean the throttle valve. (Refer to
P.13-33.)(8) If the basic idle speed is out of specification, adjust by
turning the speed adjusting screw (SAS).
NOTE
If the idle speed is higher than the standard value even with
SAS fully tightened, check to see if there is evidence of theidle switch (fixed SAS) being moved. If the idle switch
seems to have been moved, adjust it. If it does not seem tohave been moved, there may be a leak caused by
deteriorated fast idle air valve (FIAV). In such a case, replacethe throttle body.
(9) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(lO)When the multi-use tester has not been used, remove thejumper wire from the self-diagnosis/data transmission
selector terminal.
(11)Remove the jumper wire from. the ignition timing adjustingterminal and replace the connector back again.
(12)Start the engine again and run at idle for
10 minutes to
make sure that the engine runs at proper idle speed.

OPERATION
lThe oxygen sensor senses the oxygen concentration in exhaustgas, converts it into a voltage and inputs itto the engine control unit.
l
The oxygen sensor outputs about 1 V when the air fuel ratio is richer than the theoretical ratio and outputsabout 0 V when the ratio is leaner (higher oxygen concentration in exhaust gas).
lThe engine control unit controls the fuel injection ratio based on this signal so that the air fuel ratio may bekept at the theoretical ratio.
lThe battery voltage is supplied to the oxygen sensor through the control relay. Therefore, the sensor
element is heated by the heater so that the oxygen sensor remains responsive even when the exhausttemperature is low.

SENSOR INSPECTION
(1) Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector.
(2) Check that there is continuity [approx. 20
IR at 20°C (68”F)jacross terminals @and
@of the oxygen sensor connector.
(3) If there is no continuity, replace the oxygen sensor.
(4) Warm up the engine until the engine coolant temperature

(5) Using jumper wires, connect terminals @ and @ of the
oxygen sensor connector to battery
0 and 0 terminals
respectively.
Caution
Ensure that the jumper wires are connected correctly,
as wrong connections result in a broken oxygen sensor.(6) Connect a digital voltmeter across terminals @ and
0.(7) Racing the engine repeatedly and measure the output
voltage of the oxygen sensor.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSHint 1: If the engine is hard to start when hot, check fuel pressure and check the injector for leaks.
Hint 2:If the injector does not when the engine that is hard to start is cranked, the following as well as the
Iinjector itself may be responsible.
(1) Faulty power supply circuit to the engine control unit, faulty ground circuit
\-J
-(2) Faulty control relay
Hint 3:(3) Faulty crank angle sensor, top dead center sensor
If there is any cylinder whose idle state remains unchanged when the fuel injection of injectors is cut
one after another during idling, make following checks about such cylinder.
(1) Injector and harness check
(2) Ignition plug and high tension cable check
(3) Compression pressure check
Hint 4: If the injector harness and individual part checks have resulted normal but the injector drive time is
out of specification, the following troubles are suspected.
(1)Poor combustion in the cylinder (faulty ignition plug, ignition coil, compression pressure, etc.)
(2) Loose EGR valve seating
(3) High engine resistance
