1998 MITSUBISHI MONTERO interior

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect
negative battery cable. Shield cable end. Disconnect positive battery
cable. Remove battery. Wait at least 60 seconds before continuing.
2) Remove air bag module. Place air bag module on ground at
least 20 feet away from people or objects. Air bag module face (trim
cover) must face upward to prevent movement of air bag module when it
is deployed.
3) Make a harness with two 20-foot (or longer) wires. Connec\
t
wires at one end of this harness to stripped wires of SRS Air Bag
Adapter Harness "B" (MB628919) for driver-side air bag, or SRS Air Bag\
Adapter Harness "A" (MB686560) for passenger-side air bag. See Fig. 2.
4) Wrap connections with insulating tape. Temporarily connect
other end of harness wires together to prevent unexpected air bag
deployment. Connect appropriate adapter harness to air bag module
connector. Place a tire without a rim over the air bag module so rim
hole surrounds air bag module. Stack 3 more tires on top of first
tire. Connect ends of 20-foot wires to terminals of a 12-volt battery.
5) After air bag module deploys, let it cool off and allow
dust to settle for at least 30 minutes before approaching. Tightly
seal deployed air bag module in a strong vinyl bag and dispose of air
bag as you would any other part.
DEPLOYED AIR BAG CLEAN-UP
WARNING: Vehicle interior will contain sodium hydroxide powder, a
by-product of air bag deployment. Since this powder can
irritate skin, eyes, nose and throat, wear safety glasses,
rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during clean-up.
1) Avoid breathing powder from air bag deployment. Begin
clean-up by putting tape over air bag exhaust vent to prevent
additional powder from escaping into vehicle interior. Use a vacuum
cleaner to remove any residual powder from A/C-heater outlets and
vehicle interior.
2) Turn blower motor to low for a few minutes and exit
vehicle. Turn blower motor off. Vacuum any other powder expelled from
plenum. Vacuum interior a second time to recover all powder. Avoid
kneeling or sitting on unclean areas. Wrap deployed air bag in heavy
vinyl plastic and dispose of it as you would any other part.
POST-COLLISION INSPECTION
When a vehicle has been involved in a collision, certain
components of the passive restraint system must be inspected or
replaced. See PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM INSPECTION article in the
GENERAL INFORMATION section for post-collision inspection information.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
WARNING: Follow air bag service precautions to prevent accidental air
bag deployment and personal injury. See SERVICE PRECAUTIONS.
Replace faulty SRS components; DO NOT repair or disassemble.
Handle all SRS components carefully.
DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE & CLOCKSPRING
Removal
1) Before proceeding, see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS. Reactivate
SRS. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
2) Ensure front wheels are in straight-ahead position. Remove
lower covers from air bag module. Remove air bag module mounting nut

DEFOGGER TIMER TEST
Montero
Remove defogger timer from interior relay block. Connect test
battery and test light to timer. See Fig. 7. Ensure test light
illuminates for about 11 seconds when battery voltage is applied to
terminal No. 3. Reapply battery voltage to terminal No. 3 and observe
test light. Test light should go off. If timer does not test as
specified, replace timer.

terminals. See Fig. 1. Select 10-amp scale.
3) Turn off all electrical accessories. Turn off interior
lights, underhood lamp, trunk light, illuminated entry, etc. To avoid
damaging ammeter or obtaining a false meter reading, all accessories
must be off before turning test switch knob to OFF position.
4) Turn test switch knob to OFF position to allow current to
flow through ammeter. If meter reads wrong polarity, turn test switch
to ON position and reverse leads. Turn test switch to OFF position.
Observe current reading. If reading is less than 2 amps, turn test
switch to ON position to keep electrical circuits powered-up.
5) Select low amp scale. Switch lead to the correct meter
position. Turn test switch to OFF position and compare results to
normal current draw. See the GENERAL MOTORS PARASITIC LOAD TABLE . If
current draw is unusually high for the vehicle's overall electrical
system, remove system fuses one at a time until current draw returns
to normal.
6) Turn test switch to ON position each time door is opened
or fuse is removed. Turn switch to OFF position to read current draw
value through meter. When the cause of excessive current drain has
been located and repaired, remove test switch and reconnect negative
battery cable to the negative battery terminal.
