1998 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION IV warning

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

Inspection Procedure 3
While key hole illumination lamp is illuminated, ignition
key is turned to the ON position but key hole illumination
lamp does not switch off. (However, it switch off after 15
seconds.)
Probable cause
While the key reminder warning buzzer is sounding, the
ignition key is turned to the ON position but the sound
dose not stop. (However, it stops when the driver’s side
door is closed.)
The cause is probably a malfunction of the ignition switch input circuit, ETACS-ECU
or buzzer ECU. Furthermore, if there is a malfunction of a multipurpose fuse, the
cause may also be a short circuit in a harness.
