HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR HEATER CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-49
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR HEATER CONTROLM2132007000206
When exhaust gas temperature is low, the heated
oxygen sensor response is dull. So, response is
improved by raising the sensor temperature by pass
-
ing current through the heater at a low exhaust gas
temperature, such as in the immediate aftermath of
the engine start, or during the warm up operation and in cutting the fuel during deceleration. Based on driv
-
ing conditions and the heated oxygen sensor activa-
tion state, ECM changes the amount of current (duty
ratio) to the heater to quicken the activation of the
heated oxygen sensor.

GENERATOR CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-51
GENERATOR CONTROLM2132025000172
During engine idle operation, ECM controls duty of
conduction between generator G terminal and
ground. (G terminal duty is controlled to be the same
as ON duty of the power transistor inside the voltage
regulator). If headlights etc. are turned on while
engine is idling, the consumed current increases
suddenly, but by gradually increasing the generator G terminal OFF duty, ECM restricts sudden increase
in generator's output current and output current is
increased only gradually. (Battery current is supplied
to the headlamp etc. till generator produces sufficient
current.) Thus, ECM prevents change in idle speed
due to sudden increase of engine load.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INCORRECT
PURGE FLOW MONITOR
M2132027200019
The ECM detects whether the fuel vapor leakage
exists or not from the evaporative emission control
system. By the specified pattern within the certain
operation range, the ECM drives the evaporative
emission purge solenoid and the evaporative emis
-
sion ventilation solenoid. This allows slight vacuum
to be produced in the fuel tank.
The ECM measures the vacuum condition through
the fuel tank differential pressure sensor signal. By
comparing the normal (expected) value and the
actual value, the ECM detects whether the fuel vapor
leakage exists or not from the evaporative emission
control system.

WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING
•Improper service or maintenance of an y 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 renderin g the SRS inoperative).
•Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
•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 air bag control unit, SRS warning light, front impact sensors, driver’s and
passenger’s (front) air bag modules, knee air bag module, side-airbag module, curtain air bag module, side impact sensors,
seat belt pre-tensioners, 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 (*).
