WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
(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) The SRS components and seat belt with pretensioner should not be subjected to heat, so
remove the SRS-ECU, driver’s and front passenger’s air bag modules, clock spring, side air bag
modules, and seat belt -pre-tensioner before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.
• SRS-ECU, air bag module and clock spring 93°C or more
• Seat belt with pre-tensioner: 90°C or more
(3) Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed
only at an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(4) 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE LUBRICATION12-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M1121000100357
The lubrication method is a fully force-fed, full-flow
filtration type. The engine oil pump is a trochoid type
which is driven by the crankshaft <4G1>.The engine
oil pump is a gear type which is driven by the
crankshaft via the balancer timing belt <4G6>.
ENGINE OILS
Health Warning
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In
addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Adequate means of skin protection and washing
facilities must be provided.
Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example by
using enclosed systems for handling used engine oil
and by degreasing components, where practicable,
before handling them. Other precautions:
•Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
•Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.•Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly
underpants, with oil.
•Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls
without pockets will avoid this.
•Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and
oil-impregnated foot-wear. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly and kept separate from
personal clothing.
•Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye
protection should be worn, for example, chemical
goggles or face shields; in addition an eye wash
facility should be provided.
•Obtain first aid treatment immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
•Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all
oil is removed, especially before meals (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After
cleaning, the application of preparations
containing lanolin to replace the natural skin oils
is advised.
•Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil,
thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
•Use barrier creams, applying them before each
work period, to help the removal of oil from the
skin after work.
•If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice
without delay.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE COOLING14-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M1141000100371The cooling system is designed to keep every part of
the engine at appropriate temperature in whatever
condition the engine may be operated. The cooling
method is of the water-cooled, pressure forced
circulation type in which the water pump pressurizes
coolant and circulates it throughout the engine. If the
coolant temperature exceeds the prescribed temperature, the thermostat opens to circulate the
coolant through the radiator as well so that the heat
absorbed by the coolant may be radiated into the air.
The water pump is of the centrifugal type and is
driven by the alternator drive belt from the
crankshaft. The radiator is the corrugated fin, down
flow type.

OUTPUT CURRENT TESTM1161001000368
This test determines whether the alternator output
current is normal.
1. Before the test, always be sure to check the
following.
•Alternator installation
•Battery (Refer to GROUP 54A − Battery −
On-vehicle Service P.54A-5).
NOTE: The battery should be slightly discharged.
The load needed by a fully-charged battery is
insufficient for an accurate test.
•Drive belt tension
(Refer to GROUP 11A − On-vehicle Service <4G1>
P.11A-7 or GROUP 11C − On-vehicle Service
<4G6> P.11C-7.)
•Fusible link
•Abnormal noise from the alternator while the
engine is running.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.CAUTION
Never use clips but tighten bolts and nuts to
connect the line. Otherwise loose connections
(e.g. using clips) will lead to a serious accident
because of high current.
4. Connect a clamp-type DC test ammeter with a
range of 0 − 120 A to the alternator "B" terminal
output wire.
NOTE: The way of disconnecting the alternator
output wire and of connecting the ammeter is
possibly not found the problem that the output
current is dropping due to the insufficient
connection between terminal "B" and the output
wire.
5. Connect a voltmeter with a range of 0 − 20 V
between the alternator "B" terminal and the earth
[Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter to the "B"
terminal, and then connect the (-) lead of the
voltmeter to the earth].
6. Connect the negative battery cable.

REGULATED VOLTAGE TESTM1161001100354
This test determines whether the voltage regulator
correctly controlling the alternator output voltage.
1. Always be sure to check the following before the
test.
•Alternator installation
•Check that the battery installed in the vehicle is
fully charged.
(Refer to GROUP 54A − Battery − On-vehicle
Service − Charging P.54A-4).
•Drive belt tension
(Refer to GROUP 11A − On-vehicle Service <4G1>
P.11A-7 or GROUP 11C − On-vehicle Service
<4G6> P.11C-7.)
•Fusible link
•Abnormal noise from the alternator while the
engine is running
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Use the special tool Alternator test harness
(MB991519) to connect a digital voltmeter
between the alternator "S" terminal and earth
[Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter to the "S"
terminal, and then connect the (-) lead of the
voltmeter to a secure earth or to the battery (-)
terminal].
5. Connect a clamp-type DC test ammeter with a
range of 0 − 120 A to the alternator "B" terminal
output wire.NOTE: The way of disconnecting the alternator
output wire and of connecting the ammeter is
possibly not found the problem that the output
current is dropping due to the insufficient
connection between terminal "B" and the output
wire.
6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
7. Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II/III (Refer to
GROUP 11A − On-vehicle Service − Idle speed
check <4G1> P.11A-11 or GROUP 11C −
On-vehicle Service − Idle speed check <4G6>
P.11C-11).
8. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and
check that the reading on the voltmeter is equal to
the battery voltage.
NOTE: If the voltage is 0 V, the cause is probably
an open circuit in the wire or fusible link between
the alternator "S" terminal and the battery (+)
terminal.
9. Turn all lamps and accessories off.
10.Start the engine.
11.Increase the engine speed to 2,500 r/min.
12.Read the value displayed on the voltmeter when
the alternator output current alternator becomes
10 A or less.
13.If the voltage reading conforms to the value in the
voltage regulation, then the voltage regulator is
operating normally.
