1998 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION IV wiring

ABS – Troubleshooting35B-13
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2
Even after the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp
remains illuminated.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a short-circuit in the ABS warning lamp illumination circuit.
Malfunction of combination meter

Malfunction of ABS-ECU

Malfunction of wiring harness (short circuit)
NOTE
This trouble symptom is limited to cases where ABS-ECU power supply is normal and the diagnosis
code is a normal diagnosis code.
NO
Check the harness wire, and repair if necessary.

Between ABS warning lamp and ABS-ECU

Between ABS warning lamp relay and valve relay
NO

Disconnect the ABS-ECU connector B-25.

Disconnect the valve relay connector A-76.

Ignition switch: ON

Does the ABS warning lamp go off?YESReplace the ABS-ECU.
Does the ABS warning lamp stay illuminated when the connector
B-52 is disconnected and the ignition switch is turned to ON?YESReplace the combination meter.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3
After the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the ABS warning
lamp blinks once, and when turned to “START”, it
illuminates. When returned to “ON”, the lamp flashes
once, and then switches off.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU causes the ABS warning lamp to illuminate during the initial check.
During the initial check, the valve relay turns from off to on, off and back to on again.
If there is an open circuit in the harness between the ABS-ECU and the ABS warning
lamp, the lamp will illuminate only when the valve relay is OFF during valve relay
test, etc.
Malfunction of wiring harness or connector

Malfunction of ABS-ECU
OK
Check the trouble symptom.NGCheck the harness between the com-
bination meter and the ABS-ECU, and
repair if necessary.
OK
Check the trouble symptom.NGReplace the ABS-ECU.
OK
Check the following connector:
B-25NG
Repair
Measure at ABS-ECU connector B-25.

Disconnect the connector and
meeasure at the harness side.

Disconnect valve relay connector
A-76.

Ignition switch: ON

Voltage between 50 and body
ground
OK:Battery voltageNGCheck the following connector:
B-25NG
Repair

ABS – Troubleshooting35B-14
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 4
When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the ABS
warning lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU is powered through IG2 which is turned off when the ignition key
is in START position. The ABS warning lamp is powered through IG1 which is not
turned off even when the ignition key is in START position. So the cause must be
a defective circuit on valve relay side.
Malfunction of wiring harness or connector

Malfunction of valve relay
OK
Check the trouble symptom.NGCheck the harness between the com-
bination meter and valve relay, and
repair if necessary.
OK
Check the motor for operation.NGCheck the harness between the valve
relay and ground, and repair if neces-
sary.
OK
Check the following connector:
A-76NG
Repair
OK
Measure at valve relay connector A-76.

Disconnect the connector and
measure at the harness side.

Disconnect ABS-ECU connector
B-25.

Ignition switch: ON

Voltage between 3 and body
ground
OK:Battery voltageNGCheck the following connectors
and diode:
A-76, B-26NG
Repair
ABS valve relay check.NGReplace the valve relay.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5
Brake operation is abnormal
Probable cause
The varies depending on the driving conditions and the road surface conditions, so
problem diagnosis is difficult. However, if a normal diagnosis code is displayed, carry
out the following inspection.
Improper installation of wheel speed sensor

Incorrect sensor harness contact

Foreign material adhering to wheel speed sensor

Malfunction of wheel speed sensor

Malfunction of wheel bearing

Malfunction of hydraulic unit

Malfunction of ABS-ECU
NG
Repair
Hydraulic unit checkOKWheel speed sensor inspection. [Refer to Inspection Procedure
for “when either of diagnosis codes No. 11 to 14 is output” (P.35B-3).]

WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING!
(1) The service personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B – Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of the SRS or any SRS-related
component.
(2) When removing or installing the components indicated in the table of contents by an astarisk (*), use utmost care so
as not to apply any strong shock to SRS components.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: SRS-ECU, SRS warning lamp, air bag module, clock spring and interconnecting
wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are
indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk (*).

TROUBLESHOOTING
There is noise when the engine is running.
Kind of Noise (Parenthe-
sized is how noise
sounds.)SymptomCauseRemedy
AM, FM: Ignition noise
(Popping, snapping,
crackling, buzzing)
Popping sound becomes
faster with the increase
of engine speed.

The noise is lost with
ignition switch turned to
ACC.
Mainly due to the
spark plugs.

Due to noise circula-
tion from elsewhere

Noise from the engineCheck the noise capacitor
and earth cable and
replace if necessary. (See
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.)
AM, FM: Defogger noise
(1) (Murmuring)Occurs when the defogger
switch is turned to ON and
OFF.Noise produced by spark-
ing when the defogger
switch is turned to ON/
OFF enters the glass
antenna.Check the noise capacitor
and replace if necessary.
(See Fig. 1.)
AM, FM: Defogger noise
(2) (Snapping noise)Occurs when the defogger
switch is turned to ON.Noise produced by current
flowing in the defogger
enters the glass antenna.Check the choke coil and
replace if necessary.
(See Fig. 3.)
AM, FM: Defogger noise
(3) (Scratching, gaggling)Occurs when the defogger
switch is turned to ON with
print heater wire broken.Noise produced by spark-
ing where print heater is
broken enters the glass
antenna.Repair the print heater.
AM, FM: Wiper motor
noise (Humming, wheez-
ing)Sound becomes faster with
the increase of wiper speed
and is lost when the wiper is
stopped.Caused by sparking in
wiper motor brush.Replace the wiper motor.
FM: Mirror motor noise
(Humming, wheezing)Occurs when electric mirror
operates.Caused by sparking in
mirror motor brush.Replace the electric
motor.
Other electrical compo-
nents–Noise is emitted by some
electrical components in
long use.Repair or replace electri-
cal components.
Static electricity (Crack-
ling, crinkling)
Noise is stopped when
the vehicle comes to a
complete stop.

Noise becomes louder
when the clutch is
released.Occurs when parts or
wiring move for some
reason and contact metal
parts of the body.Put parts or wiring into
position.
Various noises are produced
by body parts.Due to electrical detach-
ment of the hood, exhaust
pipe and muffler, suspen-
sion, etc. from the body.Tighten mounting bolts
securely. In many cases,
remedy of one part does
not eliminate the problem
due to incomplete earthing
elsewhere.
Caution
(1) Never let the noise filter contact a high tension cable. The noise filter could break down.
(2) Check that there is no external noise. This check is necessary to prevent misidentification of noise
sources.
(3) Noise prevention should be performed by eliminating noise sources in the descending order of loudness.
