settings.
2) Set blower/fan on high speed. Close doors and windows.
Insert thermometer in center vent. Operate system for 20 minutes to
allow system to stabilize. Measure temperature.
3) Discharge air temperature must be 37-44
F (3-7C) at
center vent, with high side and low side pressures within
specification. See A/C SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS table at beginning of
article.
A/C CONTROL UNIT (ACCU)
1) Locate A/C Control Unit (ACCU) on top of evaporator case
and disconnect 10-pin connector. Inspect connector and wiring for
damage. Turn ignition and A/C on. Set temperature control to maximum
cooling and blower switch to high. Using a DVOM set to appropriate
test function, inspect harness side of connector. See Fig. 3. Go to
next step. If all test readings are as specified, replace ACCU.
2) Terminal No. 1 (Green/Yellow wire) is ACCU output. With
A/C and blower motor on, battery voltage should be present when ACCU
has received signals from pressure and temperature sensors confirming
A/C operation is okay.
3) Terminal No. 3 (Green/Blue wire) is ACCU power supply whe\
n
A/C switch is in A/C mode. With ignition and blower on, and A/C switch
at second level setting, battery voltage should be present.
4) Terminal No. 5 (Green/Red wire) is ACCU power supply when\
A/C switch is in ECONO mode. With ignition and blower on, and A/C
switch at first level setting, battery voltage should be present.
Terminals No. 2 and 7 (Black wire) are ACCU grounds. There should be
zero volts at all times.
5) Turn ignition off. Reconnect 10-pin connector. Turn
ignition on. Turn A/C on. Set temperature control to maximum cooling
and blower switch to high. Backprobe 10-pin connector. Go to next
step. If all test readings are as specified, replace ACCU.
6) Terminal No. 10 (Blue/White wire) is air thermosensor
power supply. With ignition, blower and A/C on, approximately 5.5
volts should be present.
7) Terminal No. 8 (Blue/Yellow wire) is air thermosensor
signal. When temperature of evaporator outlet portion is 77
F (25C),
there should be approximately 3.6 volts present.
8) Terminal No. 4 (White/Blue wire) is air inlet sensor powe\
r
supply. With ignition, blower and A/C on, approximately 5.5 volts
should be present.
9) Terminal No. 9 (Yellow/Green wire) is air inlet sensor
signal. When temperature of evaporator outlet portion is 77
F (25C),
there should be approximately 1.5 volts present.

COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
GENERAL INFORMATION
Computer Relearn Procedures
All Models
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
The following general procedures are to be used if
driveability problems are encountered after power loss or battery has
been disconnected. These procedures may provide an aid in eliminating
these problems.
To reduce the possibility of complaints, after any service
which requires battery power to be disconnected, vehicle should be
road tested.
COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES
Vehicles equipped with engine or transmission computers may
require a relearn procedure after vehicle battery is disconnected.
Many vehicle computers memorize and store vehicle operation patterns
for optimum driveability and performance. When vehicle battery is
disconnected, this memory is lost. The computer will use default data
until new data from each key start is stored. As computer memorizes
vehicle operation for each new key start, driveability is restored.
Vehicle computers may memorize vehicles operation patterns for 40 of
more key starts.
Customers often complain of driveability problems during
relearn stage because vehicle acts differently then before being
serviced. Depending on type and make of vehicle and how it is
equipped, the following complaints (driveability problems) may exist:
* Harsh Or Poor Shift Quality
* Rough Or Unstable Idle
* Hesitation Or Stumble
* Rich Or Lean Running
* Poor Fuel Mileage
These symptoms and complaints should disappear after a number
of drive cycles have been memorized. To reduce the possibility of
complaints, after any service which requires battery power to be
disconnected, vehicle should be road tested. If a specific relearn
procedure is not available, the following procedure may be used:
Automatic Transmission
* Set parking brake, start engine in "P" or "N" position.
Warm-up vehicle to normal operating temperature or until
cooling fan cycles.
* Allow vehicle to idle for one minute in "N" position. Select
"D" and allow engine to idle for one minute.
* Accelerate at normal throttle position (20-50%) until vehicle
shifts into top gear.
* Cruise at light to medium throttle.
* Decelerate to a stop, allowing vehicle to downshift, and use
brakes normally.
* Process may be repeated as necessary.
