INTRODUCTION
NOTE: Unless stated otherwise in testing procedures, perform all
voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a
minimum 10-megohm input impedance. Voltage readings may vary
slightly due to battery condition or charging rate.
Pin voltage charts are supplied to reduce diagnostic time.
Checking pin voltages at the PCM connector determines whether it is
receiving and transmitting proper voltage signals. Diagnostic charts
may also help determine if PCM harness is shorted or open.
TEST PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Shorting positive DVOM lead between connector terminal and
ground could damage vehicle wiring, sensor and PCM.
1) If necessary, remove Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to
access harness connector. For PCM location, see PCM LOCATION table.
Leave PCM connectors connected.
2) Using DVOM, backprobe terminals. Connect positive DVOM
lead to appropriate PCM terminal. Connect negative DVOM lead to PCM
ground terminal. For PCM terminal identification, see appropriate
chart. See Figs. 1-24.
3) All measurements are applicable to vehicle at normal
operating temperature at sea level. Unless otherwise noted, engine is
idling when specification requires engine running. Ensure transmission
shift selector is in Neutral or Park (as applicable). If DVOM displays\
measurement that is not within specification, see G - TESTS W/CODES
article.

STARTER
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
1998 STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS
Mitsubishi - Starters
Diamante, Eclipse, Galant, Mirage, Montero, Montero Sport,
3000GT
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Starter is a conventional 12-volt, 4-pole brush-type motor,
with direct or gear reduction drive. Starter-mounted solenoid shifts
overrunning clutch and pinion into flywheel when starter is energized.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: See TROUBLE SHOOTING article in the GENERAL INFORMATION
section.
ON-VEHICLE TESTING
TROUBLE SHOOTING
1) If starter motor does not operate at all:
* Check starter coil.
* Check electrical connections.
* Check clutch pedal position switch (M/T).
* Check starter relay (M/T).
* Check park/neutral position switch (A/T).
2) If starter motor does not stop, check starter magnetic
switch solenoid.
STARTER RELAY
Diamante, Galant & Montero
1) Remove starter relay. See STARTER RELAY LOCATIONS table.
With no power supplied to any relay, continuity should exist between
relay terminals No. 1 and 2. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
2) Connect a jumper wire from positive battery terminal to
relay terminal No. 1 and another jumper wire from negative battery
terminal to relay terminal No. 2. Continuity should exist between
relay terminals No. 3 and 4. Replace relay as necessary.
Eclipse (A/T With Theft Alarm)
1) Remove starter relay. See STARTER RELAY LOCATIONS table.
With no power supplied to any relay, continuity should exist between
relay terminals No. 1 and 2. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
2) Connect a jumper wire from positive battery terminal to
relay terminal No. 1 and another jumper wire from negative battery
terminal to relay terminal No. 2. Continuity should exist between
relay terminals No. 3 and 4. Replace relay as necessary.
Eclipse (A/T Without Theft Alarm)
1) Remove starter relay. See STARTER RELAY LOCATIONS table.
With no power supplied to any relay, continuity should exist between
relay terminals No. 1 and 3. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
2) Connect a jumper wire from positive battery terminal to
relay terminal No. 1 and another jumper wire from negative battery
