SEALED BEAMS
See BULBS, SEALED BEAMS AND LEDS .

If equipped, the EMR light (some models may use a reminder
flag) reminds vehicle operator that an emission system maintenance is
required. This indicator is activated after a predetermined
time/mileage.
When performing a smog check inspection, ensure EMR indicator
is not activated. On models using an EMR light, light should glow when
ignition switch is turned to ON position and should turn off when
engine is running.
If an EMR flag is present or an EMR light stays on with
engine running, fail vehicle and service or replace applicable
emission-related components. To reset an EMR indicator, refer to
appropriate MAINTENANCE REMINDER LIGHTS in the MAINTENANCE section.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is used to alert
vehicle operator that the computerized engine control system has
detected a malfunction (when it stays on all the time with engine
running). On some models, the MIL may also be used to display trouble
codes.
As a bulb and system check, malfunction indicator light will
glow when ignition switch is turned to ON position and engine is not
running. When engine is started, light should go out.

Mitsubishi: Montero, Pickup
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Instrument cluster includes speedometer, fuel gauge and
temperature gauge. Fuel gauge has a built-in voltage limiter to keep
voltage supply to gauges at 7 volts. Some models may also have a
shunt-type ammeter, oil pressure gauge, tachometer, voltmeter and/or
turbo boost pressure gauge. Oil pressure gauge uses full battery
voltage. The tachometer operates by pulse feed.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
FUEL/TEMPERATURE GAUGE NOT WORKING
Check for blown fuse, faulty voltage limiter or faulty relay.
Ensure sending unit connections are clean and tight. Test sending unit
for correct operation. Tighten connections in instrument cluster.
SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING
Ensure speedometer cable is properly connected and correctly
routed. If speedometer pointer and/or odometer still do not work,
replace speedometer as an assembly.
TACHOMETER NOT WORKING
Tachometer is serviced as an assembly. If wiring harness is
okay, replace tachometer assembly.
WARNING LIGHTS NOT WORKING
Test for defective sending unit, burned out bulb, or broken
printed circuit. Ensure all wire connections are clean and tight.
TESTING
FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT
Resistance Test
Remove fuel tank sending unit from fuel tank. Measure
resistance between appropriate terminals with fuel float in Full and
Empty positions. See Fig. 1. Compare resistance reading to
FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. If resistance
is not to specifications, replace fuel tank sending unit.

FUEL GAUGE
Simple Test
Disconnect fuel sending unit connector wire in luggage
compartment, cargo space, or at tank unit. Connect a 12-volt, 3.4-watt
bulb to harness side of connector, between power terminal and ground
(Yellow and Black wires on Montero). On Pickup and Ram-50 see Fig. 1.
Turn ignition switch to ON position. Ensure test bulb flashes, or
stays on, and fuel gauge needle moves. If bulb or gauge needle does
not function as described, check and repair fuel gauge circuit.
CAUTION: Gauge coils can be damaged if wire is grounded too long.
Perform test as quickly as possible.

NOTE: The following test must be completed with instrument panel
cluster removed. Use ohmmeter for all measurements. If
resistance is extremely low, there may be a short in the
coil. If resistance is extremely high, there may be a broken
wire or similar problem in the gauge.
Resistance Test
Remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Measure resistance between appropriate
terminals of instrument cluster or combination gauges. See Fig. 2 or

Calibration Test
Adjust tire pressure to standard value. Using a calibrated,
reliable speedometer tester, compare reading of vehicle speedometer to
speedometer tester. See SPEEDOMETER ALLOWABLE VARIATION table. Replace
speedometer if necessary.

TACHOMETER
NOTE: DO NOT reverse polarity when installing tachometer, as diode
and transistor may be damaged.
Calibration Test
Connect a calibrated, reliable tach-dwell meter to vehicle
ignition system. Operate engine at various speeds (RPM). See
TACHOMETER ALLOWABLE VARIATION table. If comparison between tach-dwell
meter and vehicle tachometer readings do not fall in the standard
range of permissible variation, replace vehicle tachometer.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE
CAUTION: DO NOT connect sender wire directly to ground during test.
Circuit Test
Disconnect temperature sender wire from sending unit. Connect
a 12-volt, 3.4-watt test bulb between connector terminal and ground.
Turn ignition switch to ON position. If test bulb flashes and
temperature gauge needle moves, go to SENSOR RESISTANCE TEST. If test
light does not flash and gauge needle does not move, repair wiring to
sending unit.
Sensor Resistance Test
Remove thermosensor (sending unit) from engine block. Place
sending unit in hot water of 158
F (70C) temperature. Check sensor
resistance with an ohmmeter. Thermosensor resistance should be 90-117
ohms at 158
F (70C). If thermosensor resistance in okay, go to GAUGE
RESISTANCE TEST. Replace thermosensor if resistance is not as
specified.
Gauge Resistance Test
Remove instrument cluster from instrument panel. See
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Measure resistance
between temperature gauge terminals at rear of cluster or combination

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Continued operation of vehicle with a severe malfunction
could cause converter to overheat, resulting in possible damage to
converter and vehicle.
COOLANT (PROPYLENE-GLYCOL FORMULATIONS)
CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to vehicle use only ethylene-glycol
based coolants with a mixture ratio from 44-68% anti-freeze.
DO NOT use 100% anti-freeze as it will cause the formation
of cooling system deposits. This results in coolant
temperatures of over 300
\b F (149\bC) which can melt plastics.
100% anti-freeze has a freeze point of only -8\b F (-22\bC).
CAUTION: Propylene-Glycol Mixtures has a smaller temperature range
than Ethylene-Glycol. The temperature range (freeze-boil)
of a 50/50 Anti-Freeze/Water Mix is as follows:
Propylene-Glycol -26
\b F (-32\bC) - 257\b F (125\bC)
Ethylene-Glycol -35\b F (-37\bC) - 263\b F (128\bC)
CAUTION: Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol Mixtures can cause the
destabilization of various corrosion inhibitors. Also
Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol has a different specific
gravity than Ethylene-Glycol coolant, which will result in
inaccurate freeze point calculations.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE (ESD) PARTS
WARNING: Many solid state electrical components can be damaged by
static electricity (ESD). Some will display a warning label,
but many will not. Discharge personal static electricity by
touching a metal ground point on the vehicle prior to
servicing any ESD sensitive component.
ENGINE OIL
CAUTION: Never use non-detergent or straight mineral oil.
FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE
WARNING: Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel
system component (fuel injection models).
HALOGEN BULBS
WARNING: Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare
hands. Eye protection should be worn when handling or working
around halogen bulbs.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could
start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF
position. DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling
system is hot.
