ENGINE ELECTRICAL -Charging System16-6
This test determines whether the alternator output
current is normal.
(1) Before the test, always be sure to check the
following.
DAlternator installation
DBattery (Refer to GROUP 54 - Battery.)
NOTE
The battery should be slightly discharged.
The load needed by a fully-charged battery
is insufficient for an accurate test.
DAlternator drive belt tension
(Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.)
DFusible link
DAbnormal 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) Disconnect the alternator output wire from the
alternator “B” terminal. Connect a DC test
ammeter with a range of 0 - 100 A in series
between the “B” terminal and the disconnected
output wire. (Connect the (+) lead of the
ammeter to the “B” terminal. Connect the ( - )
lead of the ammeter to the disconnected output
wire.)
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.
NOTE
An inductive-type ammeter which enables
measurements to be taken without
disconnecting the alternator output wire should
be recommended.
(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.
(7) Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II.
(Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.)
(8) Leave the hood open.
(9) 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 “B” terminal and the battery (+)
terminal.(10)Turn the light switch on to turn on headlamps
and then start the engine.
(11) Immediately after setting the headlamps to high
beam and turning the heater blower switch to
the high revolution position, increase the engine
speed to 2,500 r/min and read the maximum
current output value displayed on the ammeter.
Limit: 70 % of normal current output
NOTE
DFor the nominal current output, refer to the
Alternator Specifications.
DBecause the current from the battery will
soon drop after the engine is started, the
above step should be carried out as quickly
as possible in order to obtain the maximum
current output value.
DThe current output value will depend on
the electrical load and the temperature of
the alternator body.
DIf the electrical load is small while testing,
the specified level of current may not be
output even though the alternator is normal.
In such cases, increase the electrical load
by leaving the headlamps turned on for
some time to discharge the battery or by
using the lighting system in another vehicle,
and then test again.
DThe specified level of current also may not
be output if the temperature of the alternator
body or the ambient temperature is too
high. In such cases, cool the alternator and
then test again.
(12)The reading on the ammeter should be above
the limit value. If the reading is below the limit
value and the alternator output wire is normal,
remove the alternator from the engine and
check the alternator.
(13)Run the engine at idle after the test.
(14)Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF)
position.
(15)Remove the tachometer or the MUT-II.
(16)Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(17)Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
(18)Connect the alternator output wire to the
alternator “B” terminal.
(19)Connect the negative battery cable.

NOTES ON HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY:
Plastic outer lens are equipped with headlamp assembly. For handling, care should be taken for
the following items:
DHeadlamps should not be illuminated for more than 3 minutes with scratch preventive protectors,
etc. covered on them.
DMasking such as taping should not be attached on outer lens.
DOuter lens surface should not be rubbed with a sharp-edged tool, etc.
DSpecified wax remover should be used for insistently washing.
DAuthorized Mitsubishi Genuine bulbs should be used.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Headlamps are controlled smart wiring system (SWS). For troubleshooting, refer to GROUP 54B.
NOTE
When ETACS-ECU is defective, headlamps can be illuminated only in a low beam mode as fail-safe
function.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
HEADLAMP AIMING
PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTION
1. Inspect for badly rusted or faulty headlamp assemblies.
2. These conditions must be corrected before a satisfactory
adjustment can be made.
3. Inspect tyres inflation, and adjust if necessary.

4. If the fuel tank is not full, place a weight in luggage room
of vehicle to simulate weight of a full tank 0.8 kg per litre.
5. There should be no other load in the vehicle other than
driver or substituted weight of approximately 75 kg placed
in driver’s position.
6. Thoroughly clean headlamp lenses.
7. Place the vehicle on a level floor, perpendicular to a flat
screen 10m away from the bulb center - marks on the
headlamp lens.
8. Rock vehicle sideways to allow vehicle to assume its
normal position.
9. Bounce the front suspension through three (3) oscillations
by applying the body weight to hood or bumper.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT

Low Beam Adjustment
1. Four lines of adhesive tape (or equivalent markings) are
required on screen or wall:
(1) Position a vertical tape or mark so that it is aligned
with the vehicle centre line.
(2) Measure the distance from the centre - marks on the
low beam headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer the
measurement to the screen. Horizontal tape or mark
on the screen is for reference of vertical adjustment.
(3) Measure the distance from the centre line of the
vehicle to the centre of each low beam headlamp.
Transfer the measurement to the screen. Vertical
tape or mark on the screen with reference to the
centre line of each low beam headlamp bulb.
2. Check if the low beam shining onto the screen is at the
standard value.
Standard value:
