2005 MITSUBISHI 380 height adjustment

CHARGING SYSTEM
ENGINE ELECTRICAL16-12
NOTE: The voltage waveform of the alternator "B" terminal can
undulate as shown at left. This waveform is produced when the
regulator operates according to fluctuations in the alternator
load (current), and is normal for the alternator.
If the ripple height is abnormally high (approximately 2 V or
more during idling), the wires between the alternator "B" termi-
nal and the battery have broken due to fuse blowing, etc. The
alternator is usually operating properly.
.
ABNORMAL WAVEFORMS EXAMPLES
NOTE: The size of the waveform patterns can differ greatly,
depending on the adjustment of the variable knob on the oscil-
loscope.
NOTE: Identification of abnormal waveforms is easier when
there is a large output current (regulator is not operating).
(Waveforms can be observed when the headlights are illumi-
nated.)
NOTE: Check the conditions of the alternator malfunction light
(illuminated/not illuminated) also, and carry out a total check.

LID
M1421008100040
Loosen the trunk lid panel assembly mounting bolt and nut, and
move the trunk lid panel assembly to make the clearance
around the trunk lid even.
TRUNK LID LATCH ADJUSTMENTM1421008600012
After checking the trunk lid release cable for proper routing,
loosen the trunk lid latch mounting bolts. Change the position of
the trunk lid latch relative to the trunk lid striker so that trunk lid
locking and unlocking effort is correct.
