DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (USING DRB-II)
DRB-II PROCEDURE
NOTE: When using diagnostic code charts, DO NOT skip any steps in
chart or incorrect diagnosis may result. Always check related
Technical Service Bulletins (TSB's).
Refer to ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS (USING DRB-II) to
retrieve fault codes. If fault codes are NOT present and/or DRB-II is
used, proceed to one of the following tests:
* Go to NO START TEST 1 (NS-1) chart if a no-start condition
exists or engine stalls after start-up. Perform indicated
VERIFICATION PROCEDURE chart after repairs. Ensure charts
apply to engine being tested.
* Go to DRIVEABILITY TEST 1 (DR-1) chart if engine runs but has
performance problems. Perform indicated VERIFICATION
Page 874 of 1333

PROCEDURE chart after repairs. Ensure charts apply to engine
being tested.
DRB-II KEY FUNCTIONS
* YES or Down Arrow & NO or Up Arrow
Keys will move lines on screen up or down allowing you to
choose an item or scroll through all selections
available.
* F1 & F2 Keys
Keys are used to scroll through sensor displays.
* ATM Key
Key will return you to previous screen.
* ENTER Key
Allows you to select a test or display. The flashing
arrow must be on the display you wish to select. Pressing
ENTER in the sensor state will cause display to change
from a 3-line display to a 1-line display.
* F3 Key
Key is used to display a help screen. This key may be
used at any time.
* Number Keys
Keys are used for choosing a display or test by the
number for the test or display.
* READ/HOLD Key
Key is used to freeze any sensor display.
* MODE & ATM Key
Pressing MODE and ATM key at the same time will cause
DRB-II to reset to copyright screen.
ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS (USING DRB-II)
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
1) Before entering on-board diagnostics, refer to PRETEST
INSPECTION in this article. Turn ignition off. Locate self-diagnostic
connector. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST CONNECTOR LOCATION table in this
article. Using appropriate Mitsubishi cartridge and adapter, connect
DRB-II to diagnostic connector.
2) Ensure all accessories are off. Turn ignition on. All
character positions will illuminate and copyright information will
appear on screen for a few seconds.
3) If DRB-II screen displays an error message, refer to DRB-
II ERROR SCREENS in this article. The DRB-II will offer 4 menus:
VEHICLES TESTED, HOW TO USE, CONFIGURE and SELECT VEHICLE.
VEHICLES TESTED
Press "1" key or ENTER key when VEHICLES TESTED appears on
DRB-II. DRB-II shows models covered by cartridge. Screen will display
for 5 seconds and return to DRB-II menu. To return to DRB-II menu
sooner, press ATM key.
HOW TO USE
Press "2" key or press down arrow to display HOW TO USE
option and press ENTER. Press and hold F3 key. DRB-II displays
instructions for cartridge usage. To return to DRB-II menu, press ATM
key.
CONFIGURE
Page 875 of 1333

Press "3" key or press down arrow to display CONFIGURE option
and press ENTER. Configure allows user to customize DRB-II display.
For example, If metric system is more useful, select METRIC from the
menu. All selections in CONFIGURE option remain active until user
changes selection.
SELECT VEHICLE
1) This allows the user to enter information about vehicle
being tested. Usually, this option has more than one display screen.
Use ENTER key to enter vehicle information.
2) When all information about vehicle is entered, DRB-II will
display an information summary the technician has entered. DRB-II will
show an additional option marked CONFIRM. If information is correct,
press CONFIRM. DRB-II will display MAIN MENU.
MAIN MENU
The MAIN MENU represents all diagnostic functions available.
Functions are SYSTEM TESTS, READ FAULTS, STATE DISPLAYS, ACTUATOR
TESTS and ADJUSTMENTS. SYSTEM TESTS is NOT available.
READ FAULTS
This allows technician to read fault codes stored in ECU
memory.
STATE DISPLAYS
1) This allows technician to view conditions at signal level.
The 2 types of signals are analog and digital. Analog signals are
monitored at pins corresponding to vehicle harness splices (e.g. fuel
pump relay).
2) Digital signals correspond to data transmitted by the
system controllers. Both signals are displayed in common units (e.g.
temperature). Use up and down arrow keys on DRB-II to scroll through
displays available.
3) The following ENGINE state displays are available on DRB-
II:
* Module Information - This mode allows technician to read ECU
part number and application.
* Engine Sensors - This mode allows technician to look at
various engine sensors during engine operation.
* Inputs/Outputs - This mode allows technician to read input
and output states of various switches and sensors.
* Custom Display - This screen allows technician to set up
his/her own custom display. Two custom display screens can be
programmed into DRB-II.
* Minimum/Current/Maximum - The MIN/CURRENT/MAX display shows a
history of conditions for a specific sensor. When this option
is selected, maximum, current (static) and minimum values can\
be displayed for a specific sensor. To reset sensors to a
zero value, simply press ENTER key. This display may be used
to isolate intermittent faults. The MIN/CURRENT/MAX display
allows technician to observe operation of 6 different sensor
values. Information is displayed as a 3-digit number. The
first value displayed is the minimum reading, the second
number is the current reading and third valve is the maximum
reading. Typically sensors range between 2-252. Values less
than 2 or greater than 252 will usually indicate that a
Page 876 of 1333

sensor is shorted or disconnected. Watch minimum and maximum
values to help diagnose intermittent problems.
* Monitors - This screen shows technician sensors and system
controllers which affect fuel control, spark advance, RPM and
A/C relay. There are 4 different screens available. As an
example, screen No. 1 will show: airflow sensor, O2 sensor,
battery and fuel injector. All of these inputs affect fuel
control.
Actuator Tests
This mode allows technician to actuate injectors, fuel pump,
purge control, EGR solenoid, fuel pressure solenoid and wastegate.
Adjustments
This option provides a means for erasing fault code
information stored in ECU. Follow DRB-II instructions to accomplish
this task.
