original complaint. Recheck for DTCs. If no DTCs are displayed, go to
INTERMITTENT DTCS.
DTC P0170 & P0173: FUEL TRIM FAILURE
NOTE: For terminal identification, see TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION. For
circuit and wire color identification, see
L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
1) Specific self-diagnostic test not available from
manufacturer at time of publication. Check volume airflow sensor, fuel
injectors, engine coolant temperature sensor, intake air temperature
sensor, barometric or manifold absolute pressure sensor, heated oxygen
sensor. See appropriate DTC test. Check related connectors and
harnesses. See L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
2) Also check fuel pressure, check for intake air leaks, and
for cracked manifold. See F - BASIC TESTING article.
DTC P0201-P0206: FUEL INJECTOR CIRCUIT FAILURE
NOTE: For terminal identification, see TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION. For
circuit and wire color identification, see
L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
1) If using scan tool, go to step 3). Using a stethoscope or
long-bladed screwdriver, listen for clicking sound from each fuel
injector while engine is running or being cranked. If no sound is
heard from fuel injector(s), check fuel injector connections. Repair
connections as necessary. If connections are okay, go to next step.
2) Ensure engine coolant temperature is at 68
F (20C).
Disconnect fuel injector connector. Using DVOM, check resistance
between specified fuel injector terminals. See
FUEL INJECTOR TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION table. If resistance is not 2.0-
3.0 3000GT turbo or 13-16 ohms on all other models, replace fuel
injector(s). If resistance is as specified, go to step 6).

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.
