BLEEDING
1. Lift up the vehicle.
2. Connect the MUT-II to the 16-pin diagnosis connector.
Caution
Before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II,
always turn off the ignition switch.
3. Turn on the ignition switch.
4. Operate the MUT-II (Item No.10) to activate the hydraulic
unit forcibly.
NOTE
(1) The forced activation (air bleeding mode) will be
automatically canceled after 5 minutes operation. It
can also be canceled forcibly by operating the clear
key on the MUT-II.
(2) While this function is being disabled by the fail-safe
function, the forced activation of the hydraulic unit
can not be executed.
5. Remove the cap of the left bleeder screw on the torque
transfer differential and connect a vinyl hose.
6. Gradually turn the steering wheel clockwise from the
straight-ahead position. At this time, loosen the left bleeder
screw and check that fluid is discharged with air.
7. After air has been completely discharged, tighten the
bleeder screw.
Caution
While the system is being bled of air, add fluid as
necessary to ensure that it is left in the oil reservoir
during the entire procedure.
8. Repeat steps (6) and (7) two to three times until no air
bubbles are recognized in the fluid that comes out. Then,
tighten the bleeder screw to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 9 Nm
9. Perform steps (5) through (8) for the right bleeder screw.
Note, however, that the steering wheel should be turned
counterclockwise.
10. After the system has been completely bled of air, check
for the fluid level. (Refer to P.27-33.)
Caution
If the system is not completely bled of air, the hydraulic
unit could generate noise, degrading pump durability.
AYC OPERATION CHECK
1. Lift up the vehicle.
2. Connect the MUT-II to the 16-pin diagnosis connector.
Caution
Before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II, always
turn off the ignition switch.
3. Start the engine.
4. Operate the MUT-II with the transmission in 2nd or a
higher gear and check to ensure that the vehicle speed
is higher than 10 km/h using the Data List (Item 10).

WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE
MEASUREMENT
1. Lift up the vehicle and release the parking brake.
2. Disconnect the AYC-ECU harness connector and take
measurements on the harness side connector.
Caution
Insert the probe from the harness side with the double
lock of the connector unlocked. Inserting it to the
terminal side could result in poor contact.
3. Turn the wheel to be tested at about 1/2 to one
revolution/sec. and check for the output voltage using
a circuit tester (AC mV range) or oscilloscope.
Terminal nos.

Output voltage:
When circuit tester is used: 70 mV or more
When oscilloscope is used: 200 mVp-p or more
(4) If the output voltage is lower than the above value, it
is probably attributable to the following faults. Check or
replace the wheel speed sensor as necessary.

Excessive clearance between the pole piece and rotor
of the wheel speed sensor

Defective wheel speed sensor
Waveform Check Using Oscilloscope
Check the harness and connector of the wheel speed sensor
for connection. Then, use an oscilloscope to check for output
voltage waveform of each sensor as follows.
Start the engine and monitor the sensor by turning the wheel;
for a driving wheel, let it turn by shifting into the 1st gear
and for a driven wheel turn it manually at a constant speed.
NOTE
(1) Waveform may be observed by actually running the
vehicle.
(2) The output voltage is low when the wheel speed remains
low and builds up as the wheel speed increases.

BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM – General / On-vehicle Service35A-2
GENERAL
OUTLINE OF CHANGE

The service procedures for left-hand drive vehicles have been established as described below.

The service procedures for the front and rear disc brakes have been changed since they had been
replaced by a different type.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
BRAKE PEDAL CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

1. Turn up the carpet, etc under the brake pedal.
2. Measure the brake pedal height as illustrated. If the brake
pedal height is not within the standard value, follow the
procedure below.
Standard value: 163.5 –166.5 mm
(1) Disconnect the stop lamp switch connector.
(2) Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the operating
rod with pliers (with the operating rod lock nut
loosened), until the correct brake pedal height is
obtained.
(3) Secure by tightening the lock nut of the operating
rod.
(4) Push the stop lamp switch in the direction of the
pedal stroke until it stops. (The switch will slide if
it is pushed firmly.)
(5) Lift up the pedal until the operating rod is fully
extended, and then slide the stop lamp switch back
to the required position. Adjust the position of the
switch by turning it until the distance shown in the
illustration is correct.
(6) Connect the connector of the stop lamp switch.
(7) Check that the stop lamp is not illuminated with the
brake pedal unpressed.
3. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal two
or three times. After eliminating the vacuum in the power
brake booster, press the pedal down by hand, and confirm
that the amount of movement before resistance is met
(the free play) is within the standard value range.

WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING!
(1) Improper service or maintenance of any component of the SRS, or any SRS-related component, can lead to personal
injury or death to service personnel (from inadvertent firing of the air bag) or to the driver and passenger (from rendering
the SRS inoperative).
(2) Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
(3) MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B – Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of the SRS or any SRS-related
component.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: SRS-ECU, SRS warning lamp, air bag module, clock spring and interconnecting
wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are
indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk (*).
