2003 MITSUBISHI SHOGUN check engine

NOTE
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may
turn on the brake warning lamp, ABS warn-
ing lamp and brake warning buzzer. It is
normal if the lamp goes out and the buzzer
stops sounding after a few seconds.
If the lamp illuminates while
driving(1) Since there will always be a possibil-
ity of the vehicle becoming unstable
when brakes are applied rapidly,
ensure that brakes are applied gently
and that high-speed driving is not
attempted; furthermore, bring the
vehicle to halt in a safe location.
Restart the engine and check to see
whether the lamp goes out after a few
minutes driving; if it then remains off
during driving, there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out,
or if it lights up again when the vehicle
is driven, have the vehicle checked by
an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer as
soon as possible.
(2) After starting the engine using jumper
cables, if you attempt to drive the
vehicle before the battery is suffi-
ciently charged, the engine will run
irregularly and the ABS warning lamp
will illuminate indicating that the vehicle
should not be driven.
This situation, however, is caused
merely by insufficient battery voltage
and is not an abnormal situation.
If such a situation occurs, run the
engine at idle for some time to charge
the battery.

FrontNOTE
(1) Immediately after the vehicle starts
moving after engine start up, a brake
pedal pulsating is felt when the brake
pedal is depressed. This pulsation is
due to the self-diagnosis operation of
the ABS and does not indicate a mal-
function.
(2) After driving on snowy roads, remove
any snow and ice which may have
become adhered to the wheel areas.
When doing this, be careful not to dam-
age the wheel speed sensors (A) and
cables located at each wheel on
vehicles equipped with an ABS.

Steering wheel height adjustment
EG09A-Ci
To adjust the steering wheel height, release
the tilt lock lever while holding the steer-
ing wheel by hand, and raise or lower the
steering wheel to the desired height.
After adjustment, securely lock the lever by
pulling it upward.
1- Locked
2- Release
WARNING
(1) After adjusting to the desired
height, check to be sure that the
lever is locked.
(2) Do not attempt to adjust the
steering wheel while you are
driving the vehicle.
(3) When releasing the tilt lock lever,
move it to the release position
(2) and hold the steering wheel
by hand to prevent it falling to
the lowest position.
Power steering system
EC13A-AH
When the engine is stopped, the power
steering system will not function and it will
require greater manual effort to operate the
steering wheel. Keep this in mind in par-
ticular when towing the vehicle. Never turn
off the engine while driving.
Periodically check the power steering fluid
level.
CAUTION
Do not hold the steering wheel in the
fully turned position (either left or
right), for longer than 10 seconds.
This can cause damage to the power
steering pump due to reduced lubri-
cation.

Driving hintsWhen extricating the vehicle from mud or
fresh snow with the transfer shift lever in
the“2H”,“4H”or“4HLc”position, you may
find that operation of the M-ASTC pre-
vents the engine speed from increasing in
response to depression of the accelera-
tor pedal. If this happens and the vehicle
remains stuck as a result, place the trans-
fer shift lever in the“4LLc”position or turn
the active stability control switch OFF. The
vehicle will then be easier to extricate.Active stability control systemThe active stability control system is
designed to improve the vehicle’s stabil-
ity by restraining its tendency to slip side-
ways (for example, when rounding a curve
in slippery conditions, or when the driver
takes rapid steering action to avoid an
obstacle). It works by controlling the engine
output and the brake on each wheel.
NOTE
When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment. This is only
the sound of the active stability control sys-
tem being checked. It does not indicate a
fault.
I19A022A
Active stability control switchThe active stability control switch automati-
cally turns ON when the ignition switch is
turned to the“ON”position. You can turn
the active stability control switch OFF when
the vehicle speed is below about 40km/h,
but it is recommended that the active sta-
bility control switch normally be kept ON.
1- ON
2- OFFNOTE
(1) The active stability control system does
not operate when the transfer shift lever
is in the“4LLc”position.
(2) When the active stability control sys-
tem is operating with the transfer shift
lever in the“2H”,“4H”or“4HLc”posi-
tion, moving the shift lever to the“4LLc”
position makes the active stability con-
trol system deactivate automatically.
(3) If the vehicle speed increases to about
120 km/h with the active stability con-
trol switch OFF, the active stability con-
trol system automatically starts
operating. To subsequently stop the
active stability control system, stop the
vehicle and press the (2) side of the
active stability control switch.

The active stability control system and
active traction control system share the
same indication lamps.
The indication lamps should illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON”position and should go off after a few
seconds.
If the indication lamps stay on or do not illu-
minate when the ignition switch is turned to

inspection.
lamp blinks when the active stability
control system or active traction control sys-
tem is operating.lamp is illuminated when the active sta-
bility control system is turned OFF with the
active stability control switch.CAUTION
(1) When
lamp blinks, the active
stability control system is oper-
ating, which means that the road
is slippery or that your vehicle is
accelerating excessively. If this
happens, lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal and maintain
moderate speed.
(2) If a fault occurs in the device, the
ABS warning lamp or
and
lamp illuminate as warn-
ing. Park your vehicle in a safe
place and stop the engine. Then,
start the engine again and check
whether the ABS warning lamp
orand
lamp go out.
If the ABS warning lamp or
and
lamp remains lit even
after the engine has been
started, have your vehicle
checked at an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer.NOTE
Immediately after reconnection of the bat-
tery cable, the
lamp will blink on and
the active stability control system will stop
operating.
If the vehicle is driven and the
lamp
goes off, the active stability control sys-
tem will again start operating. If the lamp
comes on again or comes on even though
the battery has not been disconnected, an
insufficient battery voltage or other prob-
lems may be the reason. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer.

Active traction control systemThe active traction control system main-
tains traction on slippery road surfaces by
automatically controlling the engine out-
put and applying the brakes so the driv-
ing wheels are prevented from spinning.
The active traction control system auto-
matically turns ON when the ignition switch
is turned to the“ON”position.
CAUTION
If the temperature in the braking sys-
tem increases excessively due to
continuous brake control on a slip-
pery road surface, a warning buzzer
will sound intermittently to warn the
driver. If driving continues in spite of
the buzzer and the temperature in the
braking system increases further, the
lamp will illuminate, the warn-
ing buzzer will sound continuously
for approximately 3 seconds, and
active traction control system opera-
tion will be suspended to protect the
braking system. (Normal operation of
the vehicle will not be affected.) If the
vehicle is stopped and the
lamp
goes off, the active traction control
system will start operating again.NOTE
(1) When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment. This is
only the sound of the active traction
control system being checked. It does
not indicate a fault.
(2) When the active traction control sys-
tem operates, you may feel vibration
and/or hear the active traction control
system’s operating noise, which indi-
cates that the active traction control
system is working normally. They do
not indicate a fault.
(3) The active traction control system does
not operate while the ABS warning
lamp is illuminated.

trol system controlling front−right wheelActive traction control system

If the indication lamp stays on or does not
illuminate when the ignition switch is turned

nearest authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for
inspection.
When the active traction control system
operates, the active traction control sys-
