I - SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
1998 ENGINE PERFORMANCE
Mitsubishi - System & Component Testing
Diamante, Eclipse, Galant, Mirage, Montero, Montero Sport,
3000GT
INTRODUCTION
NOTE: Testing individual components does not isolate shorts or
opens. Perform all voltage tests using a Digital
Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with minimum 10-megohm input impedance,
unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use ohmmeter to
isolate wiring harness shorts or opens. Testing procedures
not covered in this article require a scan tool. See
G - TESTS W/CODES article.
Before testing separate components or systems, perform basic
diagnostic procedures in F - BASIC TESTING article. Since many
computer-controlled and monitored components set a diagnostic trouble
code if they malfunction, also perform self-diagnostics in G - TESTS
W/CODES article.
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEMS
TURBOCHARGER
Turbocharger Pressure Check
1) Disconnect Black turbocharger pressure control hose at
wastegate solenoid valve, and plug valve nipple. Attach pressure gauge
to hose. Drive vehicle and accelerate engine, in 2nd gear, to 3500 RPM
or more. Check turbocharger pressure when pressure gauge stabilizes.
See TURBOCHARGER PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS table.
2) If pressure gauge reading is more than specified, check
wastegate actuator. See DTCs P1103 and P1104 in G - TESTS W/CODES
article. Replace wastegate actuator as required. If pressure gauge
reading is less than specified, check for malfunctioning wastegate
valve, turbocharger pressure leaks and faulty turbocharger.

Air By-Pass Valve
Remove air by-pass valve. Valve is mounted to intake air duct
between air-to-air intercooler and intake plenum. Apply vacuum to
diaphragm of vacuum valve. Valve should begin opening at approximately
16 in. Hg. Observe operation of valve through by-pass opening.
Wastegate Actuator Test
Actuator is mounted on turbocharger. For testing procedures,
see DTCs P1103 and P1104 in G - TESTS W/CODES article.
Wastegate Control Solenoid Valve Test
On Eclipse, valve is mounted to top back section of air
cleaner. On 3000GT, valve is mounted to firewall, beside EGR solenoid.
For testing procedures, see DTCs P1103 and P1104 in G - TESTS W/CODES
article.
COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS
CONTROL UNIT
NOTE: For Powertrain Control Module (PCM) location, see
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) LOCATION table. To identify
PCM power and ground terminals, see appropriate pin voltage
chart in J - PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS article. To identify PCM
power and ground circuits, see appropriate wiring diagram in
L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
Ground Circuits
1) Turn ignition off. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity
between chassis ground and PCM ground terminal(s). See Figs. 1-5.
Ohmmeter should indicate zero ohms. If reading is not as specified,
check and repair open circuit between PCM connector and chassis
ground. If reading is as specified, go to next step.
2) Connect voltmeter negative lead to chassis ground. Connect
positive lead to PCM ground terminal(s). With engine running,
voltmeter should indicate less than one volt. If reading is more than
one volt, check for open, corrosion or loose connection in ground
circuit.
Power Circuits
Turn ignition on. Check for battery voltage on both PCM power
terminals. See Figs. 1-5. If battery voltage is not present, check
operation of MFI relay. See RELAYS under MOTORS, RELAYS & SOLENOIDS.
