Electric Cooling Fan Relay (Diamante, Eclipse, Galant &
Mirage)
1) Remove radiator fan motor relay from relay box located at
right side of engine compartment. Check for continuity between relay
terminals No. 1 and 3. If continuity exists, go to next step. If
continuity does not exist, replace cooling fan relay. See Fig. 8.
2) Using a fused jumper wire, connect battery voltage to
cooling fan relay terminal No. 1. Using another jumper wire, connect
cooling fan relay terminal No. 3 to battery ground. With cooling fan
relay energized, there should be continuity between cooling fan relay
terminals No. 4 and 5. With cooling fan relay not energized, there
should be no continuity between terminals No. 4 and 5. If continuity
does not exist as specified, replace cooling fan relay. See Fig. 8.
Electric Cooling Fan Relay (Montero, Montero Sport & 3000GT)
1)Remove relay from relay box in engine compartment relay
box. Check for continuity between relay terminals No. 2 and 4. If
continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist,
replace cooling fan relay. See Fig. 9.
2) Using a fused jumper wire, connect battery voltage to

Main Switch
1) In each switch position, continuity should be present
between terminals No. 2 and 7 for switch illumination. See Fig. 8.
When switch is moved to Neutral position, continuity should be present
between terminals No. 1 and 4.
2) When switch is moved to ON position, continuity should be
present between terminals No. 4 and 5. Connect battery voltage to
terminal No. 5 and ground terminal No. 4.
3) Battery voltage should be present on terminal No. 1 when
main switch is moved to ON position. Replace main switch if it does
not test as specified.
PARK/NEUTRAL SWITCH TEST
Disconnect switch connector. Shift transmission into Neutral
position. Continuity should be present between terminals No. 5
(Black/Blue wire) and No. 6 (Blue/Black wire). See Fig. 7. If
continuity is not present, adjust park/neutral switch. If switch is
adjusted properly, replace switch.
VACUUM PUMP TEST
1) Disconnect vacuum pump connector A-105. Resistance should
be 50-60 ohms between terminals No. 1 and 2 and terminals No. 1 and 3.
See Fig. 6 . Ensure solenoid valve makes operating noise when battery
voltage is applied between terminals No. 1 and 2 and terminals No. 1
and 3.
2) If solenoid valve does not operate, replace vacuum pump
assembly. Apply battery voltage and ground between terminals No. 1 and
4. Motor should operate. Replace vacuum pump if motor does not
operate.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR TEST
Remove speed sensor from transmission. Connect speed sensor,
resistor (3000-10,000 ohms) and battery. See Fig. 34. Using a
voltmeter, ensure voltage pulses on and off 4 times per revolution of
speedometer shaft. Replace sensor if voltage is not as specified.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

spacer, pinion front shim(s) and front pinion bearing. DO NOT install
oil seal at this time. Install pinion companion flange, washer and
retaining nut. Tighten nut to 137 ft. lbs. (190 N.m).
2) Using INCH-lb. torque wrench, check pinion rotating torque
without pinion oil seal. 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.
3) Install pinion flange so alignment marks are correct.
Apply light coat of grease to flange washer contact area. Install NEW
retaining nut. Check pinion rotating torque with pinion oil seal
installed. Rotating torque must be within specification. See
PINION ROTATING TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table.
Side Bearing Installation
1) Using Bearing Installer (MB990802-01), install bearings o\
n
differential case. Select 2 side bearing adjusting shims thinner than
those removed. Shims must be equal in thickness on both sides. Install
shims on each side of case assembly. Install case assembly in
differential carrier housing.
2) Push case assembly fully to one side of carrier. Using 2
feeler gauges (feeler gauges 180 degrees opposed), measure clearance
between carrier and side bearing. Remove shims from one side of
differential carrier.
3) Measure thickness of shims removed. Add .002" (.05 mm) to\
50% of measured clearance and then add thickness measurement of
removed shim. This is thickness of new shim that should be installed
on each side of case. Install equal thickness shims on each side of
case assembly.
NOTE: Ensure zero clearance exists between gear carrier and
adjusting shim.
4) Install side bearing shims and differential case assembly
in differential carrier. Using brass drift, tap shims to fit them to
side bearing outer race. Install bearing caps. Tighten bolts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Check ring gear backlash.
Ring Gear Backlash
1) Lock drive pinion in place. Using dial indicator, check
ring gear backlash at heel of ring gear tooth. Measure at 4 locations
of ring gear. Gear backlash should be .004-.006" (.10-.15 mm).
2) If backlash is not within specification, change side
bearing adjusting shims and recheck backlash. See
GEAR TOOTH CONTACT PATTERNS article in GENERAL INFORMATION. Check gear
tooth contact using Prussian Blue.
CAUTION: When changing shims, total thickness of all shims must
remain constant to ensure correct bearing preload.
Ring Gear Runout
Using dial indicator, measure runout at back side of ring
gear. Runout should not exceed .002" (.05 mm). If runout is excessive,\
change ring gear-to-differential case mounting position. Ensure ring
gear mounting bolts are tightened to correct specification. Recheck
runout. Install cover and gasket.

DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY (CONVENTIONAL)
Pre-Disassembly Inspection
1) Secure differential assembly in appropriate holder. Secure
drive pinion from turning. Mount dial indicator on case and check ring
gear backlash at 4 positions. See Fig. 6. Backlash should be .005-.
007" (.13-.18 mm).
2) Remount dial indicator and measure ring gear runout. See
Fig. 7 . On all models, runout should not exceed .002" (.05 mm).
Remount dial indicator and measure pinion gear backlash on models
without limited slip differential. See Fig. 8. Secure side gear from
turning with wedge. Backlash should be 0-.003" (0-.08 mm). Pinion gear\
backlash service limit is .008" (.20 mm).
3) Check gear tooth contact pattern between ring gear and
drive pinion gear. Apply Prussian Blue to both surfaces of ring gear
teeth. Insert brass rod between differential housing and carrier
assembly to provide resistance while turning drive pinion.
4) Turning resistance of drive pinion should be 28-33 INCH
lbs. (2.5-3.0 N.m). Rotate drive pinion until ring gear completes one
revolution. Reverse direction of rotation and return to original
starting point. Check wear pattern. See GEAR TOOTH CONTACT PATTERNS
article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
5) On Montero models with differential lock, connect air
supply hose with pressure gauge and regulator to actuator air pipe.
Apply 4 psi (.28 kg/cm
) of pressure. Using Adapter Shaft (MB990992),
turn side gear on one side of carrier assembly only. Locking mechanism
should engage. To disengage, release air pressure and turn side gear
1/4-1/2 turn.
6) With lock mechanism engaged, measure turning torque of
drive pinion. Turning torque should not be less than 36 ft. lbs. (50
N.m). With lock mechanism disengaged, turning torque should not be
more than 36 ft. lbs. (50 N.m).

Scan Tool Method (3000GT)
Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool to DLC. Follow scan tool
manufacturer's instructions. Turn ignition on. Perform ON/OFF
operation of each door lock or power window switch. If scan tool
buzzer sounds once, ECU input signal to corresponding switch circuit
is normal.
Voltmeter Method (3000GT)
Using Diagnostic Trouble Code Check Harness (MB991529),
connect harness to DLC terminals No. 4 and 5. Connect voltmeter to
harness. Turn ignition on. Perform ON/OFF operation of each door lock
or power window switch. If voltmeter pointer moves once, ECU input
signal from corresponding switch circuit is normal.
