1991 MITSUBISHI MONTERO transmission

Light comes on with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
as a bulb check, but should go out shortly after engine is started. If
light remains on or comes on while driving, it indicates low oil
pressure and possible system malfunction. Have the system checked and
serviced immediately. Do not operate vehicle until cause is located
and corrected.
ALTERNATOR WARNING LIGHT
Light comes on with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
as a bulb check and goes out after engine is started. If light remains
on or comes on while driving, it indicates possible fault in the
electrical charging system. The alternator belt may be loose or
broken. Have the system checked and serviced promptly. Do not drive
vehicle if alternator belt is loose or broken.
"BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT
Light comes on with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
as a bulb check and goes out after engine is started. Light will also
come on with the parking brake fully or partially engaged. If light
remains on or comes on at any other time, it indicates low brake fluid
level in the master cylinder reservoir or the parking brake switch may
be damaged. Have the system checked and serviced immediately if brake
fluid level is low. Do not continue driving if further trouble is
experienced.
"CHECK ENGINE" WARNING LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Light is designed to come on briefly with the ignition switch
in the "ON" position as a bulb check. If light remains on or comes on
while driving, it indicates fault in an exhaust gas related component
and the system is not functioning properly. Have the system checked
and serviced as soon as possible.
"MAINTENANCE REQUIRED" WARNING LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Light comes on at 50,000 miles, 80,000 miles, 100,000 miles
and 120,000 miles (150,000 miles on 1990-91 models) as a service
reminder that it is time for the periodic maintenance of the emission
control system. Have the system inspected and serviced as necessary
when light comes on. Continued operation of vehicle without having
system serviced after warning light comes on may adversely affect
proper performance of the emission control system. Reset warning
light, after the system has been checked, by pushing the reset switch
in front of the combination meter. Remove the warning light bulb after
the last maintenance service at 120,000 miles (150,000 miles on 1990-
91 models).
"A/T TEMPERATURE" WARNING LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Light comes on when the automatic transmission fluid
temperature becomes abnormally high. If light comes on, reduce engine
speed, stop car and put it in "P" (Park) position. Leave engine
running until light goes out. Normal vehicle operation may be resumed
after light has gone out. If light does not go out, have the system
checked and serviced as necessary.
WHEEL LOCK INDICATOR LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Light comes on when automatic free-wheeling hubs are locked.
If ignition is turned off, indicator light will not come on when

Remove negative battery cable. If necessary, raise vehicle on
hoist. Remove starter mounting bolts and starter. To install, reverse
removal procedure.
NOTE: On Raider models with A/T, it may be necessary to disconnect
transmission oil cooler line for starter removal.
OVERHAUL
Check commutator for out-of-round and proper amount of
undercut. Replace or repair armature if not within specification. See
STARTER SPECIFICATIONS table. Ensure brushes are not worn beyond wear
line (outer line closest to commutator contact surface). Check pinion
gap. See PINION GAP CHECK in this article.
DISASSEMBLY
NOTE: Procedures may vary slightly between conventional and
reduction gear starters.
1) Loosen nut securing connecting plate-to-magnetic switch
"M" terminal. Remove screws securing magnetic switch and remove switch
(solenoid) assembly. Remove through bolts and brush cover assembly.
Tap yoke assembly loose with wooden mallet. Remove yoke, armature
assembly and pinion shift lever.
2) Remove pinion stop ring from end of armature shaft by
pushing stop ring to clutch side. Remove snap ring and overrunning
clutch assembly from armature shaft.

MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship
between the consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce
materials that give motorists the information and encouragement to
take greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt
1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and 2) the Motorist
Assurance Program Standards of Service. All participating service
providers have agreed to subscribe to this Pledge and to adhere to the
promulgated Standards of Service demonstrating to their customers that
they are serious about customer satisfaction.
These Standards of Service require that an inspection of the
vehicle's (problem) system be made and the results communicated to the\
customer according to industry standards. Given that the industry did
not have such standards, the Motorist Assurance Program successfully
promulgated industry inspection communication standards in 1994-95 for
the following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical Systems.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection communication standards
are continually re-published. In addition to these, standards for
Drive Train and Transmissions have recently been promulgated.
Participating shops utilize these Uniform Inspection & Communication
Standards as part of the inspection process and for communicating
their findings to their customers.
The Motorist Assurance Program continues to work
cooperatively and proactively with government agencies and consumer
groups toward solutions that both benefit the customer and are
mutually acceptable to both regulators and industry. We maintain the
belief that industry must retain control over how we conduct our
business, and we must be viewed as part of the solution and not part
of the problem. Meetings with state and other government officials
(and their representatives), concerned with auto repair and/or
consumer protection, are conducted. Feedback from these sessions is
brought back to the association, and the program adjusted as needed.
To assure auto repair customers recourse if they were not
satisfied with a repair transaction, the Motorist Assurance Program
offers mediation and arbitration through MAP/BBB-CARE and other non-
