1997 MITSUBISHI TRITON key battery

MPI ± Troubleshooting13A-26
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5
No initial combustion (starting impossible)
Probable cause
In cases such as the above, the cause is probably that a spark plug is defective,
or that the supply of fuel to the combustion chamber is defective.
In addition, foreign materials (water, kerosene, etc.) may be mixed with the fuel.
Malfunction of the ignition system

Malfunction of the fuel pump system

Malfunction of the injectors

Caution
1. The ID code should always be re-registered when replacing the immobilizer-ECU. vehicles>
2. If the immobilizer-ECU has been replaced, you will need to re-register the ignition key ID codes
and to reset the code for the fuel cut valve controller to the factory setting. vehicles>
3. If the immobilizer-ECU has been replaced with a new part, the password (vehicle secret code)
which has been stored in the immobilizer-ECU for each vehicle will be replaced by the password
(secret code) specified by the customer.

Inspection Procedure 3
Engine does not start (Cranking but no initial combus-
tion).
Probable cause
If the fuel injectors are not operating, there might be a problem with the MPI system
in addition to a malfunction of the immobilizer system.
It is normal for this to occur if an attempt is made to start the engine using a key
that has not been properly registered.

Probable cause
If no fuel injection, there might be a problem with the fuel injection system in addition
to a malfunction of the immobilizer system.
It is normal for this to occur if an attempt is made to start the engine using a key
that has not been properly registered.
