NOTE: If it takes some amount of time until the transmission
fluid reaches its normal operating temperature [70
80C
(158
176F)], check the transmission fluid level by refer-
ring to the left diagram.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Move the selector lever through all positions to fill the torque
converter and the hydraulic circuits with fluid, and then move
the selector lever to the "N" position.
4. After wiping off any dirt around the dipstick, remove the
dipstick and check the condition of the transmission fluid.
NOTE: If the transmission fluid smells as if it is burnt, it
means that the transmission fluid has been contaminated by
fine particles from the bushings and friction materials. Tran-
saxle overhaul and cooler line flushing may be necessary.
5. Check transmission fluid level is at the "HOT" mark on the
dipstick. If the transmission fluid level is less than this, add
DIAMOND ATF SP III until the level reaches the "HOT"
mark.
NOTE: If the transmission fluid level is too low, the oil pump
will draw in air along with the transmission fluid, which will
cause to form bubbles. If the transmission fluid level is too
high, rotating components inside the transaxle will churn the
fluid and air into a foamy liquid. Both conditions (level too
low or too high) will cause the hydraulic pressure to drop,
which will result in late shifting and slipping of the clutches
and brakes.
NOTE: In either case, air bubbles can interfere with normal
valve, clutch, and brake operation. Also, foaming can cause
transmission fluid to escape from the transaxle vent where it
may be mistaken for a leak.

4. Drain the water in the water jacket by unplugging the drain
plug of the cylinder block.
5. Remove the radiator condenser tank assembly and drain the
coolant.
6. Drain the coolant then clean the path of the coolant by
injecting water into the radiator from the radiator cap area.
7. Apply the designated sealant to the screw area of the
cylinder block drain plug, and then tighten to the standard
torque.
Specified sealant: Loctite 577 or equivalent
Tightening torque:
<3.8L Engine> 39
5 Nm
8. Securely tighten the radiator drain plug.
9. Assemble the radiator condenser tank assembly.
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or any engine
coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The
use of an improper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the
aluminum components.
10.By referring to the section on coolant, select an appropriate
concentration for safe operating temperature within the
range of 30 to 60%. Use special tool MB991871 to refill the
coolant. A convenient mixture is a 50% water and 50%
antifreeze solution [freezing point:
31C (32.8 F)].
Recommended antifreeze: Long Life Antifreeze
Coolant or an equivalent
Quantity:
<3.8L Engine> 8.7 Litres
NOTE: For how to use special tool MB991871, refer to its
manufacturer’s instructions.
11.Reinstall the radiator cap.
12.Start the engine and let it warm up until the thermostat
opens.
13.After repeatedly revving the engine up to 3,000 r/min
several times, stop the engine.

18. SUSPENSION SYSTEM (INSPECT FOR
LOOSENESS AND DAMAGE)
M1001009600048
Visually inspect the front/rear suspension components for dete-
rioration and damage. Re-tighten the front/rear suspension
components retaining bolts to specified torque.
19. SRS AIR BAG (INSPECT FOR SRS SYSTEM)M1001003700326
The entire SRS including air bag and pre-tensioner seat belt
must be inspected by an authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORS
dealer 10 years.
SRS WARNING LIGHT CHECK
Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position. Does the
"SRS" warning light illuminate for several seconds, and then go
out? If yes, the SRS system is functioning properly. If no, refer
to GROUP 52B, Diagnosis P.52B-215.
SRS COMPONENT VISUAL CHECK
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the bat-
tery cable before doing any further work. The SRS
system is designed to retain enough voltage to
deploy the air bag for a short time even after the bat-
tery has been disconnected. Serious injury may result
from unintended air bag deployment if work is done
on the SRS system immediately after the battery
cable is disconnected.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position,
disconnect the negative battery cable and tape the terminal.
2. Remove the floor console assembly (Refer to GROUP 52A,
Floor Console P.52A-10).
3. Disconnect a connector from the SRS-ECU.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)13C-2
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM1136000100029
Traction Control systems are a significant safety fea-
ture designed to prevent wheel spin during accelera-
tion. This results in improved vehicle stability and
steer ability. When excessive wheel spin is detected,
the system will automatically reduce engine torque
via the engine management system. The Engine
ECU can reduce throttle position, cut fuel injection
and retard ignition to one or more cylinders depend-ing on how much torque reduction is required and
will continue to occur until the wheels are no longer
spinning. During traction control operation the TCL
warning lamp will flash to inform the driver that the
vehicle is under traction control. This will continue
until traction control is finished.

ACTUATOR TEST REFERENCE TABLEM1136003600067
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.The diagnostic tool activates the following actuators
for testing. (Refer to P.13C-3).
NOTE: Since the TCL is controlled with the same ABS/TCL-ECU used to control the ABS, the FL, FR, RL or
RR Wheel ABS Drive testing items (No.01 to 04) used only for the ABS also appear. MUT-III

If the air intake duct is removed from the throttle body take great care to keep fingers away
from the throttle plate. The drive motor has very high torque and is capable of random move-
ment at any time. Do not under any circumstances activate the throttle plate by hand.
When removing the throttle body from the intake manifold disconnect the wiring first. During
replacement connect the wiring last.
Do not activate the throttle body using a DC suppy to test the motor,as permanent damage to
the throttle body will result.
