this information to control solenoids on transmission valve body. TCM
controls transmission shifting and torque converter lock-up.
TCM contains a self-diagnostic system, which will store
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) if failure or problem exists in
electronic control system. DTC can be retrieved to determine problem
area. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. TCM is located under left side of
instrument panel, left of steering column. See Fig. 1.
TCM INPUT DEVICES
Brakelight Switch Signal
Brakelight switch delivers input signal to TCM, indicating
vehicle braking. Brakelight switch is located on brake pedal support.
Cruise Control Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
Cruise control ECU delivers an input signal to control
overdrive operation in accordance with vehicle speed when cruise
control is operating. When in overdrive with cruise control on, if
vehicle speed drops 2 MPH less than the set speed, overdrive is
released to prevent reduction in vehicle speed. Once vehicle speed is
more than the set speed, overdrive function is resumed. If coolant
temperature is low, transmission will not shift into overdrive. Cruise
control ECU is located below center A/C vent, behind temperature
control panel on Montero. On Montero Sport, cruise control ECU is
located behind driver's kick panel.
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT) Signal
Engine coolant temperature sensor delivers input signal to
TCM, indicating engine coolant temperature. Coolant temperature sensor
is located on engine.
Input & Output Shaft Speed Sensors
Sensors are magnetic pick-ups that monitor input and output
shaft speeds. AC waveforms are input to TCM by sensors. Sensors are
located on front and rear side of transmission case.
OD Switch Signal
The OD switch provides an input signal to TCM to indicate
when overdrive is selected by operator. When OD switch is depressed to
ON position, transmission will shift into 4th gear when shift lever is
in "D" position, and OD OFF light on instrument panel will go off.
When OD switch is released to OFF position, transmission will shift
into 3rd gear, and OD OFF light on instrument panel will come on. The
OD switch is mounted on shift lever.
Oil Temperature Sensor Signal
Oil temperature sensor provides TCM with ATF temperature
values. TCM uses this information to control shift points for maximum
performance. If transmission oil temperature exceeds standard values,
instrument panel ATF - TEMP light will come on. Sensor is mounted to
cooler line at transmission.
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch Signal
PNP switch delivers an input signal to TCM indicating shift
lever position. Switch is located on side of transmission.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Signal
TP sensor delivers closed throttle and variable throttle
position input signals to TCM. TP sensor is located on side of
throttle body.
4WD Low Range Detection Switch
4WD low range detection switch provides information to TCM

until brakelight plunger contacts brake pedal.
2) Loosen brakelight switch 1/2 to one turn. Install and
tighten lock nut on brakelight switch. Install electrical connector.
Ensure brakelights and cruise control operate properly.
INPUT SPEED SENSOR
Removal & Installation
Disconnect electrical connector. Remove bolt securing sensor
to transmission. Remove input speed sensor from transmission. See
Fig. 14 . To install, reverse removal procedure.

OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Removal & Installation
Sensor is located on transmission connected to cooler line,
near PNP switch. Disconnect electrical connector. Remove oil
temperature sensor from transmission. To install, reverse removal
procedure using NEW gasket.

Mitsubishi Shift Lock Systems
Diamante, Eclipse, Galant, Mirage, Montero, Montero Sport,
3000GT
DESCRIPTION
Shift interlock system inhibits shift selector lever movement
from "P" to drive ranges unless brake pedal is depressed. Key
interlock system prevents ignition switch turning to LOCK position
unless shift selector lever is in "P" position.
TESTING
KEY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
1) With ignition switch in LOCK position and brake pedal
depressed, ensure selector lever cannot be moved from "P" to any other
position. Ensure selector lever button cannot be pushed. With ignition
switch in ACC position, brake pedal depressed and selector lever
button pushed, ensure selector lever can be moved from "P" position to
any other position. Ensure selector lever moves smoothly.
2) Ensure ignition key cannot be turned to LOCK position at
all selector lever positions other than "P". Ensure ignition key turns
smoothly to LOCK position when selector lever is set to "P" and
selector lever button is released. If key interlock system is not as
specified, adjust key interlock cable. See KEY INTERLOCK CABLE under
ADJUSTMENTS.
SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM
1) With ignition switch in ACC position, brake pedal released
and selector lever button pushed, ensure selector lever cannot be
moved from "P" to any other position. With ignition switch in ACC
position, brake pedal depressed and selector lever button pushed,
ensure selector lever can be moved from "P" position to any other
position.
2) With selector lever in "R" position, ignition switch in
ACC position, brake pedal released and selector button pushed, ensure
selector lever can be moved from "R" to "P" position. If shift lock
system is not as specified, adjust shift lock cable. See SHIFT LOCK
CABLE under ADJUSTMENTS.
ADJUSTMENTS
KEY INTERLOCK CABLE
3000GT
Remove front console assembly. Move selector lever to "P".
Loosen nut securing key interlock cable. Gently press lock cam "A"
down while pushing cable to take up slack. See Fig. 1. Tighten nut to
specifications to secure cable. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.

Except 3000GT
Remove front console assembly. Move selector lever to "P".
Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Loosen nut securing key
interlock cable. See Fig. 2. Gently push lock cam until pin stops in
direction of arrow. Tighten nut to specifications to secure cable. See
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Install front console assembly.

SHIFT LOCK CABLE

3000GT
Remove front console assembly. Move selector lever to "P".
Loosen nuts securing shift lock cable and remove washer and cotter pin
at cable end. Turn lock cam counterclockwise to move set lever upward.
Fit cutout in set lever on pin of lock cam "B". Gently press set lever
down while pushing cable to take up slack. See Fig. 3. Tighten nut to
specifications to secure cable. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Ensure that
cable end contacts pin on lock cam, then install washer and cotter
pin.

Remove front console assembly. Move selector lever to "P".
Loosen nuts securing shift lock cable. See Fig. 4. Adjust shift lock
cable so end of cable (Red mark) sits between lobe of lock cam, then
tighten nut to specifications to secure cable. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS. Install front console assembly.

required.
Worn close to minimum
specifications ......... 1 ........ ( 7) Suggest replacement.
Worn to, or below minimum
specifications ......... B ............ Require replacement.
( 1) - Identify and repair cause of contamination prior to
replacing friction material.
( 2) - When reconditioning or replacing drums or rotors,
replacement of friction material may be suggested
depending on the severity of the grooves or ridges.
( 3) - Some vehicles use pads that are tapered by design. Refer
to specific vehicle application. If not normal, require
replacement of pads and correction of cause.
( 4) - Uneven pad thickness is normal on some vehicles. Refer to
specific vehicle applications.
( 5) - The pad wear indicator light may come on due to other
electrical problems.
( 6) - Explain to the customer that the purpose of the wear
indicator is to alert him or her to check for friction
wear. Wear indicators may be bent or broken. Therefore,
the friction material must be measured. The need for
friction material replacement is determined based upon
the conditions stated in this section. Periodic inspection
is suggested.
( 7) - When the part appears to be close to the end of its useful
life, replacement may be suggested.
