connector. Using DVOM, check resistance between specified HO2S
connector terminals. See
REAR HO2S HEATER CONNECTOR TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION table. HO2S
resistance should be 12 ohms at 68
F (20C). If resistance is not as
specified, replace HO2S. If resistance is as specified, go to step 3).

2) Raise and support drive wheels. Start and warm engine to
operating temperature. Place A/T in Low (M/T in 2nd). Using scan tool,\
read HO2S voltage (item 59 for right side or 69 for left side). While
monitoring scan tool, accelerate to 3500 RPM. Scan tool should read 0.
6-1.0 volt. If voltage is not as specified, replace HO2S. If voltage
is as specified, go to next step.
3) On 3000GT, go to next step. On Montero disconnect HO2S
connector and MFI relay connector. Using DVOM, check for continuity
between HO2S connector terminal No. 1 and MFI relay connector terminal
No. 1. If continuity does not exist, repair wiring harness as
necessary. If continuity exists, go to next step.
4) Using DVOM, check for open or short circuit between
specified HO2S connector terminal and PCM connector terminal(s). See
REAR HO2S-TO-PCM WIRING HARNESS TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION table. If open
or short circuit exists, repair wiring harness as necessary. If open
or short circuit does not exist, go to next step.

GENERAL COOLING SYSTEM SERVICING
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
GENERAL INFORMATION
General Cooling System Servicing
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
The following article is for general information only.
Information may not apply to all years, makes and models. See specific
article in the ENGINE COOLING section.
DESCRIPTION
The basic liquid cooling system consists of a radiator, water
pump, thermostat, electric or belt-driven cooling fan, pressure cap,
heater, and various connecting hoses and cooling passages in the block
and cylinder head.
MAINTENANCE
DRAINING
Remove radiator cap and open heater control valve to maximum
heat position. Open drain cocks or remove plugs in bottom of radiator
and engine block. In-line engines usually have one plug or drain cock,
while "V" type engines will have 2, one in each bank of cylinders.
CLEANING
A good cleaning compound removes most rust and scale. Follow
manufacturer's instructions in the use of cleaner. If considerable
rust and scale has to be removed, cooling system should be flushed.
Clean radiator air passages with compressed air.
FLUSHING
CAUTION: Some manufacturers use an aluminum and plastic radiator.
Flushing solution must be compatible with aluminum.
Back Flushing
Back flushing is an effective means of removing cooling
system rust and scale. The radiator, engine and heater core should be
flushed separately.
Radiator
To flush radiator, connect flushing gun to water outlet of
radiator and disconnect water inlet hose. To prevent flooding engine,
use a hose connected to radiator inlet. Use air in short bursts to
prevent damage to radiator. Continue flushing until water runs clear.
Engine
To flush engine, remove thermostat and replace housing.
Connect flushing gun to water outlet of engine. Flush using short air
bursts until water runs clean.
Heater Core
Flush heater core as described for radiator. Ensure heater
control valve is set to maximum heat position before flushing heater.

GENERATOR OUTPUT TEST
NOTE: A slightly discharged battery should be used, as a fully
charged battery may not allow full generator output.
1) Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable.
Disconnect generator output wire from terminal "B". Connect positive
lead of 100-amp ammeter to terminal "B" and negative lead to
disconnected output lead.
CAUTION: Tighten each connection securely, as heavy current flow will
exist. DO NOT use clips on ammeter. An inductive-type
ammeter is recommended.
2) Connect positive voltmeter lead (0-20 volts) to generator\
terminal "B" and negative lead to ground. Install a tachometer and
reconnect negative battery cable.
3) Ensure voltmeter indicates battery voltage. If voltage is
not present, check for open circuit in wire between generator terminal
"B" and positive battery terminal. Check grounds and fusible link.
4) Start engine and turn headlights on. Set headlights at
high beam and heater blower switch on HIGH. Increase engine speed to
2500 RPM and note generator output current on ammeter. Minimum output
should be within specification. See
GENERATOR MINIMUM OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS table.
NOTE: Output voltage changes with electrical load and temperature.
Ensure proper electrical load is applied while checking
output. Nominal output may not be obtained if generator or
ambient temperature is excessive. Allow generator or
temperature to cool, and recheck output. Generator output is
stamped on metal plate attached to generator case.
5) If minimum output is not obtained and generator wiring is
okay, repair generator. Operate engine at idle speed after the test.

WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
carefully follow all SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and DISABLING &
ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM procedures in AIR BAG RESTRAINT
SYSTEM article.
DESCRIPTION
Heater assembly is located in passenger compartment. A heater
control valve is used to regulate coolant flow and heat output. Heater
assembly contains heater core, heater control valve, air ducts, blower
motor and intake ducts. See Fig. 1. Heater systems are blend-air type.
OPERATION
Heater and fresh air operations are controlled by control
knobs and/or levers, which regulate airflow source, temperature
setting, airflow direction and blower speed.

FRONT AIR SELECTOR LEVER
Page 800 of 1501
This lever is used to select source of airflow. With lever at
fresh air setting, outside air is allowed to enter and/or pass through
heater. With lever at recirculated air setting, air is recirculated
inside passenger compartment.
FRONT BLOWER SWITCH
Front blower switch controls fan speeds to regulate amount of
airflow. Fan speed increases as switch is turned/moved to far right.
COOL AIR BY-PASS KNOB
With heater in floor, defrost/floor or defrost mode, turning
knob to far left allows cool air to enter passenger compartment
through center vent.
FRONT MODE SELECTOR KNOB/LEVER
Depending on position selected, airflow can be directed to
different areas of passenger compartment. Airflow selection
capabilities include individual areas or a combination of windshield,
upper body, knee and/or foot area.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Temperature control is adjusted by moving control lever or
turning control knob to left or right. Temperature control cable opens
and closes heater control valve, which determines heat output. Highest
heat setting is attained when lever/knob at far right position. With
temperature lever/knob at cool setting, ambient air is used for
ventilating.
ADJUSTMENTS
FRONT FRESH/RECIRCULATED AIR SELECTOR CABLE
Place air selector lever at recirculated air setting. Press
damper lever inward, in direction of arrow. See Fig. 2. Connect inner
wire of fresh/recirculated air selector cable to damper lever. Secure
outer wire of selector cable with clip.

BLOWER MOTOR
If blower motor will only run at high speed, check blower
motor resistor. See BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR under TESTING.
INSUFFICIENT HEAT
Obstructed floor outlets or heater hoses. Bound or improperly
adjusted dampers. Improperly adjusted control cable. Plugged heater
core.
NO VENTILATION
Improper damper adjustment. Incorrect mode selector cable
installation. Improper duct connection, or duct damage.
