OPERATION
L
0For models equipped with the M/T, the clutch
pedal position switch contact is switched OFF
when the clutch pedal is depressed; when the
ignition switch is then switched to the “ST’ posi-tion, electricity flows to the starter relay and
the starter motor, the contact (magnetic switch)of the starter is switched ON and the starter
motor is activated.
NOTEIf the ignition switch is switched to the “ST
position without the clutch pedal being de-
pressed, electricity flows to the starter relay
(coil), the clutch pedal position switch (contacts)
and to ground, with the result that the contacts
of the starter relay are switched OFF, and, be-
cause the power to the starter motor is thereby
interrupted, the starter motor is not activated.lFor models equipped with the
AIT, when the
ignition switch is switched to the “ST’ position
while the selector lever is at the “P” or “N” posi-
tion, the contact (magnetic switch) of the starter
is switched ON and the starter motor is activated.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSThe starter motor does not operate at all.
l Check the starter (coil).
lCheck for poor contact at the battery terminals
and starter.l Check Park/Neutral position switch.
l Check clutch pedal position switch.
l Check starter relay.
l Check theft-alarm starter relay.
l Check key reminder switch.

switch.
(2)Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and M-terminal.(3) Set switch to “ON”, and pinion will move out.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning.(4) Check pinion to stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a
feeler gauge.

(2)
Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and M-terminal.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10

(3) If pinion moves out, then pull-in coil is good. If it doesn’t,
replace magnetic switch.
MAGNETIC SWITCH HOLD-IN TEST(1) Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.(2) Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and body.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning.(3) Pull out the pinion by hand until it comes into contact
with the pinion stopper.
(4)If pinion remains out, everything is in order. If pinion moves
in, hold-in circuit is open. Replace magnetic switch.
FREE RUNNING TEST
(1) Place starter motor in a vise equipped with soft jaws andconnect a fully-charged
12-volt battery to starter motor
as follows:
(2) Connect a test ammeter (loo-ampere scale) and carbon
pile rheostat in series with battery positive post and starter
motor terminal.
(3) Connect a voltmeter (15volt scale) across starter motor.
(4) Rotate carbon pile to full-resistance position.
(5)Connect battery cable from battery negative post to starter
motor body.(6) Adjust rheostat until the battery voltage shown by the
voltmeter is 11 V.
(7) Confirm that the maximum amperage is within the specifi-
cations and that the starter motor turns smoothly and freely.
Current: Max. 90 Amps

OPERATIONl
Turn ignition switch to .“ON”position, and batteryvoltage will be applied to primary winding of
ignition coil.l
When crankshaft position sensor and camshaft
position sensor signal is input to engine control
module, engine control module makes ON-OFF
control of power transistors one by one.l When power transistor is turned on, current
flows from ignition coil (primary winding) to
ground through power transistor.l When power transistor A is turned from ON
to OFF, the spark plugs of No. 1 and No. 4
cylinders spark. Turning of power transistor B
from ON to OFF will produce sparking in spark
plugs of No. 2 and No. 5 cylinders. Furthermore,
when power transistor C is turned from ON toOFF, sparking is produced in spark plugs of
No. 3 and No. 6 cylinders.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS1. Engine cranks, but does not start.
(1) Spark is insufficient or does not occur at
all (on spark plug).l Check ignition coil.
l Check camshaft position sensor and
crankshaft position sensorl Check power transistor.
l Check spark plugs.
l Check spark plug cable.
(2) Spark is good.
l Check ignition timing.
2. Engine idles roughly or stalls.
l Check spark plugs.
l Check ignition timing.
l Check ignition coil.
l Check spark plug cable.
3. Poor acceleration
l Check ignition timing.
l Check spark plug cable.
l Check ignition coil.

WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING!
(1) 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 and passenger (from render-
ing the SRS inoperative).
(2) Service or maintenance of any SRS component or
SRS-related component must be performed only at an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
(3)MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B
TSupplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) and GROUP 00 -Maintenance Service before beginning any service or maintenance of any com-
ponent of the SRS or any
SRS-related component.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: impact sensors, SRS diagnosis unit, SRS warning light, air bag module, clock spring
and interconnecting wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may
h,a”” to be removed/installed in connection with SRS serviceor maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk ( ).

BATTERY INSPECTION
BAlTERY VISUAL CHECK (1)
The battery contains a visual test indicator which gives blue
signal when an adequate charge level exists, and white signal
when charging is required.
BAlTERY VISUAL CHECK (2)
Make sure ignition switch is in Off position and all battery
feed accessories are Off.
1.Disconnect ground cable from battery before disconnecting
(+) cable.
2. Remove battery from vehicle.
CautionCare should be taken in the event battery case is
cracked or leaking to protect hands from the electro-
lyte. A suitable pair of rubber gloves (not the house-hold type) should be worn when removing battery
by hand.
3.Inspect battery carrier for damage caused by loss of acid
from battery. If acid damage is present, it will be necessaryto clean area with a solution of clean warm water and
baking soda. Scrub area with a stiff bristle brush and wipe
off with a cloth moistened with ammonia or baking soda
in water.

4. Clean top of battery with same solutions as described
in step (3).
5.Inspect battery case and cover for cracks. If cracks are
present, battery must be replaced.
6.Clean the battery post with a suitable battery post cleaning
tool.7. Clean the inside surfaces of the terminal clamps with a
suitable battery terminal cleaning tool. Replace damaged
or frayed cables and broken terminals clamps.8. Install the battery in vehicle.
9.Connect (+) and (-) cables to battery in the order of men-
tion.
10. Tighten the clamp nut securely.BATTERY
CHARGLNG
Caution
When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas forms
beneath the cover of each cell. Do not smoke near batteries
on charge or which have recently been charged. Do notbreak live circuits at the terminals of the batteries on
charge. A spark will occur where the live circuit is broken.
Keep all open flames away from the battery.
Battery electrolyte temperature may temporarily be allowed
to rise to 55°C (131°F). Increase of electrolyte temperature
above 55°C (131 OF) is harmful to the battery, causing deforma-tion of battery cell, decrease in life of battery, etc.
CHARGE RATE
If the test indicator is white, the battery should be charged
as outlined below.
When the dot appears or when maximum charge shown below
is reached, charging should be stopped.
NOTE
When the charging is performed at 5 amps, charging is virtually
100% three hours after the indicator’s indication changes from
white to green.
Use fast charging only in an emergency.
If the indicator does not turn to green even after the battery
is charged, the battery should be replaced; do not overcharge.
