3) Install cylinder gauge in side bearing seats. Ensure flat
areas align, and gauge contacts side bearing seat firmly. Select
adjusting shim with same thickness as gap between cylinder gauge and
pinion height gauge.
4) Use minimum amount of adjusting shims. Install selected
adjusting shims between drive pinion gear and rear pinion bearing.
Using bearing installer and press, install rear pinion bearing.
5) Install drive pinion in differential housing. Install
spacer, pinion front shim(s) and front pinion bearing. DO NOT install
oil seal. Install pinion companion flange, washer and retaining nut.
Tighten nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
6) Check pinion rotating torque. See
PINION ROTATING TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table. Adjust rotating torque by
replacing drive pinion front shims or spacer. Once correct rotating
torque is obtained, install oil seal. Coat seal lip with grease.
Install pinion companion flange so alignment marks are correct. Apply
light coat of grease to contact area of pinion flange washer.
7) Install NEW retaining nut. Recheck pinion rotating torque.
Ensure rotating torque is within specification. Press side bearings
onto differential case. Install outer races. Install differential
carrier into differential housing. Align bearing cap index marks, and
snug carrier cap bolts. Ensure outer races and bearing caps are
installed in original location.
8) Install side bearing nuts. Tighten bearing cap bolts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Tighten bearing nuts until
bearing outer races are seated against bearings. Adjust ring gear
backlash.
Ring Gear Backlash
1) Secure drive pinion in place. Using dial indicator, check
ring gear backlash at heel of ring gear tooth. See Fig. 6. Measure at
4 locations of ring gear. Gear backlash must be within specification.
Backlash should be .005-.007" (.13-.18 mm).
2) If backlash is less than specification, loosen side
bearing nut at back of ring gear, and tighten side bearing nut on
tooth side of ring gear by same amount. If backlash exceeds
specification, loosen side bearing nut at tooth side of ring gear, and
tighten side bearing nut at back of ring gear by same amount.
3) After adjusting backlash, tighten both side bearing nuts
half the distance between 2 adjacent holes on side bearing nut.
Recheck backlash. Ensure bearing cap bolts are tightened to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
4) Lock plates are of 2 designs for hole location of side
bearing nuts. Install proper type lock plate. Tighten lock plate bolt
to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Check gear tooth contact
pattern. See GEAR TOOTH CONTACT PATTERNS article in GENERAL
INFORMATION.

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK - REAR
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
1997-98 DRIVE AXLES
Mitsubishi Rear Differential Lock
Montero, Montero Sport
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
The rear differential lock system is designed to be used only
when low-speed wheel spin occurs in a ditch, or on a slippery or
uneven surface. The indicator light will blink when switch is turned
on as system completes locking operation. After the differential is
locked, the light will stop blinking and remain on.
The rear differential lock system will not lock with vehicle
in 4H or 2H position, and if vehicle speed is greater than 7 MPH.
Vehicle speed should be maintained at less than 12 MPH during rear
differential lock operation.
NOTE: The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) does not operate when the
rear differential is locked. It is normal for the ABS
warning light to be on at this time.
COMPONENT LOCATIONS
Rear Differential Lock Air Pump
Air pump is located under left side of rear seat.
Rear Differential Lock Control Unit
Control unit is located under left side lower quarter trim
panel in rear compartment.
Rear Differential Lock Switch
Lock switch is located on lower center of instrument panel,
below radio.
Rear Differential Lock Detection Switch
Lock detection switch is located on rear differential
carrier.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHES WHEN LOCK SWITCH IS TURNED ON
If vehicle speed is greater than 7 MPH, reduce speed to less
than 3 MPH. If vehicle speed is less than 7 MPH, rotate steering wheel
to right and left to reset light.
INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHES WHEN LOCK SWITCH IS TURNED OFF
If indicator flashes after lock switch is turned off, depress
and release accelerator several times while driving straight ahead to
reset light.
TESTING
REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK AIR PUMP

Using voltmeter, backprobe rear differential lock control
unit connector between terminal No. 6 (ground) and specified terminal
under specified conditions. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. See
REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK CONTROL UNIT VOLTAGE table. If voltage is not
as specified, replace control unit.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK DETECTION SWITCH
NOTE: DO NOT apply more pressure than required to bring pressure
gauge reading to about 4 psi (.28 kg/cm).
1) Raise and support vehicle. Remove air pipe and air hose
connections. Connect a pressure gauge and air regulator (for adjusting
compressed air pressure) to air hose. See Fig. 2. Using air regulator,
adjust compressed air pressure until pressure gauge indicates about 4
psi (.28 kg/cm
).
2) While an assistant holds one wheel on one side of vehicle
stationary, slowly turn wheel on other side of vehicle. Using
ohmmeter, check for continuity between rear differential lock
detection switch connector terminals.
3) With air supplied, continuity should exist. With air
released, continuity should not exist. If continuity is not as
specified, replace lock detection switch.

DOOR LOCKS - POWER & KEYLESS ENTRY
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
1998 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT
Mitsubishi - Keyless Entry & Power Door Locks
Montero & 3000GT
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
On 3000GT, power door locks are controlled by driver or
passenger switches which send signals to Electronic Timer Alarm
Control System (ETACS) ECU. ETACS-ECU sends appropriate signals to
individual door lock actuators through individual relays.
The following features are incorporated in power door lock
systems that have an ETACS-ECU:
* Once locked door is closed, system will unlock door if key
remains in ignition switch.
* Continuous switching between lock and unlock of door will
disable system for about one minute.
On Montero, power door lock actuator receives signal from
individual control relay that is operated by a switch incorporated in
actuator. On all models, all door locks are actuated with operation of
one lock.
Montero and 3000GT offer optional keyless entry system. Use
of a 2-button portable remote control operates door locks within a
range of 13 ft. (4 m). Dome light flashes twice when doors are locked
and illuminates for 3 seconds when doors are unlocked. If, after 30
seconds, door(s) have not been opened when unlocked with keyless entry\
system, doors will relock.

FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL DELIVERY
Electric fuel pump, located in gas tank, feeds fuel through
in-tank fuel filter, external fuel filter (located in engine
compartment) and fuel injector rail.
Fuel Pump
Fuel pump consists of a motor-driven impeller. Pump has an
internal check valve to maintain system pressure, and a relief valve
to protect fuel pressure circuit. Pump receives voltage supply from
MFI control relay.
Fuel Pressure Control Solenoid Valve (Turbo)
Valve prevents rough idle due to fuel percolation. On engine
restart, if engine coolant or intake air temperature reaches a preset
value, PCM applies voltage to fuel pressure control solenoid valve for
2 minutes after enginerestart. Valve will open, allowing atmospheric
pressure to be applied to fuel pressure regulator diaphragm. This
allows maximum available fuel pressure at injectors, enriching fuel
mixture and maintaining stable idle at high engine temperatures.
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Located on fuel injector rail, this diaphragm-operated relief
valve adjusts fuel pressure according to engine manifold vacuum.
As engine manifold vacuum increases (closed throttle), fuel
