1991-92 SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Mitsubishi Cruise Control Systems
Montero
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
The cruise control system is electronically and vacuum
controlled. System components include a control unit, actuator, vacuum
pump, cruise control switch, clutch pedal switch, cruise indicator
light, diode, inhibitor switch (A/T), stoplight switch, vehicle speed
sensor and A/T control unit.
The system has self-diagnostic capability. When
self-diagnostic mode is activated, each switch and sensor is checked
for defects. When cruise control system has been cancelled without
using a normal cancel method, a code will be set and stored in control
unit. Codes can be retrieved to help determine which circuit is
malfunctioning.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Before performing TROUBLE SHOOTING steps, inspect linkage
assembly, actuator, cables and vacuum hoses. Ensure linkage and cables
move smoothly. Ensure cables do not have excessive slack or tension.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: For further trouble shooting information, see CHECK RESULTS
& SYMPTOM CHARTS. See Figs. 11-16.
SYSTEM CANCELS OR WILL NOT RESET AFTER CANCELLATION
1) Check trouble codes, see SELF-DIAGNOSTICS under DIAGNOSIS
& TESTING. If no trouble codes are stored, ensure cruise control can
be set.
2) If cruise control can be set, system may have cancelled
because of driving on steep hills or loose wiring connection. If
cruise control still cannot be set, perform SYSTEM INPUT TESTS under
DIAGNOSIS & TESTING.
3) On 1991 models, if SYSTEM INPUT TESTS check okay, check
actuator circuit. See TEST NO. 5 under CIRCUIT TESTS (1991). On 1992
models, if SYSTEM INPUT TESTS check okay, check vacuum pump circuit.
See TEST NO. 6 under CIRCUIT TESTS (1992). On all models, if SYSTEM
INPUT TESTS do not check okay, see INPUT CODE CHART. See Fig. 9 or 10.
ADJUSTMENTS
CRUISE CONTROL CABLE
1991
1) Ensure cruise control and accelerator cables are free of
bends and folds. Remove actuator cover. Loosen lock nuts and adjusting
nuts to free cables. Adjust accelerator cable "A" to correct
dimension. See Fig. 1 or 2.
2) Tighten lock nuts. Loosen adjustment bolts on intake air
plenum. Adjust plate so that inner cable free play is .04-.08" (1-2

2) System input tests cycle each cruise control switch and
sensor. Use analog voltmeter or Multi-Use Tester (MB991341) for system\
input check. Use multi-use tester according to operating instructions
provided with tester. Connect leads of analog voltmeter between cruise
control terminal and ground terminal of self-diagnostic connector. See
Fig. 6.
3) Turn ignition on and check items No. 1-3 on INPUT CODE
CHART. See Fig. 9 0r 10. Start engine and check items No. 4 and 5 on
INPUT CODE CHART. To display results of each input check, press SET
switch while holding RESUME switch in ON position. Read codes. Codes
will display if circuit tested is okay.
1992
1) System input tests should be performed if no trouble codes
are stored when performing SELF-DIAGNOSTICS. System input tests cycle
each cruise control switch and sensor.
2) Use Multi-Use Tester (MB991341) for system input check.
Use multi-use tester according to operating instructions provided with
tester. Connect leads of analog voltmeter between cruise control
terminal and ground terminal of self-diagnostic connector. See Fig. 6.
Turn ignition switch to ON position. Follow INPUT CODE CHART sequence.
See Fig. 9 or 10.
3) To display results of input check, move SET switch to ON
position. Then turn MAIN switch to ON position. Within one second,
activate RESUME switch. Codes will display if circuit tested is okay.

CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH TESTS
Main, Set & Resume Switches (1991)
1) Disconnect 6-pin cruise control switch connector. See
Figs. 17 -21. With main switch in ON position, continuity should be
present between terminals No. 3 and 6 of cruise control switch
connector. With set switch in ON position, continuity should be
present between terminals No. 1 and 2.
2) With resume switch in On position, continuity should be
present between terminals No. 2 and 4, and 3 and 6. If continuity is
not present, replace cruise control switch.
Set & Resume Switches (1992)
1) Remove lower steering column cover. Disconnect 2-pin
switch connector. Operate and test switch. When cancel switch is
operated, continuity should be present between terminals No. 1 and 2.
Zero ohms resistance should be indicated.
2) When resume switch is operated, 820 ohms resistance should
be present between terminals No. 1 and 2. When set switch is operated,
2700 ohms resistance should be present between terminals No. 1 and 2.

Replace cruise control switch if it does not test correctly.
Main Switch (1992)
1) In each switch position, continuity should be present
between terminals No. 2 and 7 for switch illumination. See Figs. 22-
29. When switch is moved to Neutral position, continuity should be
present between terminals No. 1 and 4.
2) When switch is moved to ON position, continuity should be
present between terminals No. 1, 4 and 5. Connect battery voltage to
terminal No. 5 and ground terminal No. 4.
3) Battery voltage should then be present on terminal No. 1
when main switch is moved to On position. Replace switch if it does
not test correctly.
BRAKELIGHT/STOPLIGHT SWITCH TEST
Disconnect switch connector. When brake pedal is pressed,
continuity should be present between terminals No. 2 and 3. See
Figs. 22 -29. When brake pedal is released, continuity should be
present between terminals No. 1 and 4. Replace switch if it does not
test correctly.
IDLE SWITCH & THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR TESTS
Throttle Position Sensor (1992)
1) Disconnect sensor connector. Resistance between terminals
No. 1 and 4 should be 3500-6500 ohms. Use an analog ohmmeter to
measure resistance between terminals No. 1 and 3. See Figs. 22-29.
2) Slowly open throttle valve to wide open throttle.
Resistance should change smoothly as throttle is opened. Replace
throttle position sensor if it does not test correctly.
Idle Switch (1992)
1) Disconnect throttle position sensor connector. Continuity
should be present between terminals No. 1 and 2 with accelerator pedal
released. See Figs. 22-29. Continuity should not be present with
accelerator pedal pressed.
2) If continuity is not present with accelerator released,
loosen throttle position sensor mounting screw. Turn throttle position
sensor completely clockwise. Recheck continuity. Replace throttle
position sensor if idle switch does not test correctly.
INHIBITOR SWITCH TEST
Disconnect switch connector. Shift transaxle into Neutral and
Park positions. On 1991 models, continuity should be present between
Black/Yellow wire terminals No. 3 and 4. On 1992 models, continuity
should be present between terminals No. 7 and 12. See Figs. 22-29. On
all models, if continuity is not present, adjust inhibitor switch. If
switch is adjusted properly, replace switch.
VACUUM PUMP TEST
1992
1) Remove vacuum pump connector. Resistance should be 50-60
ohms between terminal No. 1 and terminals No. 2 and 3. See Figs. 22-
29. Ensure solenoid valve makes operating noise when battery voltage
is applied between terminal No. 1 and terminals No. 2 and 3.
2) If solenoid valve does not make noise, replace vacuum pump
assembly. Apply battery voltage to terminals No. 1 and 4, motor should
operate. Replace vacuum pump if motor does not operate.
