BLEEDING VEHICLES WITH ACD AND AYC>
1. Lift up the vehicle.
2. Set the MUT-IIto the 16-pin diagnosis connector.
Caution
Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”(OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
4. Set the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position.
5. Perform the MUT-IIactuator test (Item No.02), and forcibly
drive the hydraulic unit.
NOTE
(1) The actuator test (Item No.01: Bleeding Mode) will
be performed for 5 minutes, after which it will be
cleared automatically. Drive can also be cleared during
forced driving using the clear key of the MUT-II.
(2) If the hydraulic unit function has been stopped by
fail-safe, the hydraulic unit cannot be forcibly driven.
6. Remove the cap of the bleeder screw on the transfer,
and connect the vinyl hose.
7
.Slowly turn the steering wheel to the left or right from
the neutral state. Loosen the bleeder screw, and check
that air is discharged together with the fluid.
8
.After the air is discharged, tighten the bleeder screw,
and return the steering wheel to the neutral state.
Caution
During bleeding, replenish the fluid so that some
always remains in the oil reservoir.
9. Repeat steps 6 and 7 several 2 to 3 times, and after
checking that no more air mixes in, tighten the bleeder
screw at the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 5±1 N·m
10. After bleeding, check the fluid level. (Refer to P. 22A-41.)
Caution
If bleeding is not performed completely, noise may
be produced from the hydraulic unit, or the durability
of the pump, etc. may drop.
11. On vehicles with AYC, perform bleeding when the
hydraulic unit is removed. (Refer to GROUP 27B -
On-vehicle Service.)

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 (*).

2. Move ball joint stud several times and install nut on stud.
Measure ball joint turning torque with special tool.
Standard value: 1.0 - 3.0 N·m
3. When the turning torque exceeds the standard value,
replace tie rod end.
4. When the turning torque is under the standard value,
check ball joint for end play or ratcheting. If none of these,
the joint is still serviceable.
STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECK
1. With the vehicle stopped on a flat, paved surface, turn
the steering wheel to the straight ahead position.
2. Start the engine and set it to 1,000±100 r/min.
3. Attach a spring balance to the outer circumference of
the steering wheel and measure the steering force
required to turn the steering wheel from the straight ahead
position to the left and right (within a range of 0.9 turns).
Also check to be sure that there is no significant fluctuation
of the required steering force.
Standard value:
Steering effort32 N or less
Fluctuation allowance6.0 N or less
4. If the standard values are not met, check and adjust
the related parts.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO
CENTRE
To make this test, conduct a road test and check as follows.
1. Make both gradual and sudden turns and check the
steering “feeling” to be sure that there is not difference
in the steering force required and the wheel return between
left and right turns.
2. At a speed of 35 km/h, turn the steering wheel 90_and
release the steering wheel after 1 or 2 seconds. If the
steering wheel then returns 70_or more, the return can
be judged to be satisfactory.
NOTE
There will be a momentary feeling or “heaviness” when
the wheel is turned quickly, but this is not abnormal. (This
is because the oil pump discharge amount is especially
apt to be insufficient during idling.)
DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECK

8. Start the engine.
9. Operate the air conditioner and set at the lowest
temperature (MAX. COOL).
10. Fix the engine speed at 1,500 r/min.
11. Tighten the handle of the adaptor valve (valve open),
and replenish refrigerant while checking the quantity
through the sight glass.
Caution
If the service can is inverted, liquid refrigerant may
be draw into the compressor damaging it by liquid
compression. Keep the service can upright to ensure
that refrigerant is changed in gas state.
12. After replenishing is completed, turn the handle of the
adaptor valve all the way back (valve close), and remove
the quick joint.
NOTE
When there is remainder of refrigerant in the service can,
keep it for next use with the charge value and the valve
of the adaptor valve being closed.
DISCHARGING SYSTEM
Use the refrigerant recovery unit to discharge refrigerant gas
from the system.
NOTE : Refer to the Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling
Unit Instruction Manual for operation of the unit.
REFILLING OF OIL IN THE A/C SYSTEM
Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor lubrication
and cause a compressor failure. Too much oil will increase
discharge air temperature.
When a compressor is installed at the factory, it contains
130 cm
3of refrigerant oil. While the A/C system is in operation,
the oil is carried through the entire system by the refrigerant.
Some of this oil will be trapped and retained in various parts
of the system.
When the following system components are changed, it is
necessary to add oil to the system to replace the oil being
removed with the component.
Compressor oil: SUN PAG 56
