* Check for short in center differential lock switch circuit.
* Check for faulty center differential lock switch.
* Check for short in ECU circuit or faulty ECU.
* Check for short in indicator control unit circuit or faulty
4WD indicator control unit.
Repair wiring harness or replace component as necessary. See
WIRING DIAGRAMS .
5) If 4WD indicator light does not come on with transfer
shift lever in "4H" position, repair wiring harness between 4WD
indicator control unit and center differential lock switch. Check for
faulty 4WD indicator control unit.
6) If 4WD indicator light does not come on with transfer
shift lever in "4H" position, repair wiring harness between 4WD
indicator control unit and free wheel engage switch. See
WIRING DIAGRAMS . Check ground wire at engage switch. Check for faulty
free wheel engage switch.
DTC 27: REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK DETECTION SWITCH (WITH
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK)
NOTE: DTC is set if ECU detects an open circuit in rear
differential lock detection switch system.
1) Start engine. Ensure rear differential indicator light
comes on when top of rear differential lock switch (located below
radio) is pushed. If indicator light comes on, go to step 3). If
indicator light does not come on, go to next step.
2) Turn engine off. Check wiring harness between rear
differential lock control unit and rear differential lock switch. See
WIRING DIAGRAMS . Check rear differential lock control unit power
circuit. See REAR DIFFERENTIAL CONTROL UNIT under COMPONENT TESTS. If
circuit is okay, replace rear differential lock control unit.
3) Disconnect ECU 22-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Using
DVOM, check voltage between terminal No. 46 and ground. See Figs. 5-6.
When rear differential is locked, battery voltage should not be
present. When rear differential is unlocked, battery voltage should be
present. If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is
not as specified, repair connectors and related wiring harness between
ECU and rear differential lock switch. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
4) Check and repair ECU 22-pin connector. If connector is
okay, replace ECU.
DTC 27: REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK DETECTION SWITCH (WITHOUT
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK)
NOTE: DTC is set if ECU detects an interruption of battery voltage
at ECU terminal No. 46.
1) Check fuse No. 18 in main fuse block. If fuse is blown,
correct cause of blown fuse, and replace fuse. If fuse is okay, go to
next step.
2) Disconnect ECU 22-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Using
DVOM, check voltage between terminal No. 46 and ground. See Figs. 5-6.
If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is
not present, check and repair connectors and related wiring harness
between ECU and fuse No. 18. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
3) Check and repair ECU 22-pin connector. If connector is
okay, replace ECU.
DTC 32: "G" SENSOR SYSTEM
NOTE: DTC is set if ECU detects "G" sensor output voltage less

WHEEL SPEED SENSOR (WSS)
WSS Resistance Test
1) Before testing WSS resistance, ensure pole piece-to-WSS
tip is clean. Check WSS pole piece for damage. If pole piece is
damaged, replace WSS.
2) Disconnect WSS connector. Inspect WSS wiring harness for
broken and pinched wires. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair harness as
necessary. If harness is okay, go to next step.
3) Using ohmmeter, check resistance across WSS terminals.
Resistance for front WSS should be 1170-1350 ohms. Resistance for rear
WSS should be 1300-1500 ohms. If resistance is as specified, go to
GROUND CIRCUIT TEST. If resistance is not as specified, replace WSS.
Ground Circuit Test
Disconnect WSS wiring harness connector. Check resistance
between each WSS terminal and WSS housing. Resistance should be more
than 100,000 ohms. If resistance is not as specified, replace WSS.

WIRING DIAGRAMS

1) Check input speed sensor. See INPUT SPEED SENSOR under
COMPONENT TESTING. If resistance is as specified, reconnect speed
sensor connector and go to next step. If resistance is not as
specified replace input speed sensor and recheck DTCs.
2) Connect voltmeter between solenoid and sensor connector
terminals No. 9 and No. 10. See Fig. 9. Lift and support vehicle to
allow drive wheels to spin freely. With transmission in "D" position,
engine at 1000 RPM and wheel speed at 19 MPH (30 km/h). Measured
voltage should be .3-2.5 volts.
3) If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is
not as specified, replace input speed sensor. If DTC still exists,
check speed sensor rotor. See MITSUBISHI R4AW3 & V4AW3 OVERHAUL
article. If DTC still exists after speed sensor rotor is replaced,
check for noise interference and repair.

INTRODUCTION TO MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW OF MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship
between the consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce
materials that give motorists the information and encouragement to
take greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt:\
1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and
2) the Motorist Assurance Program Standards of Service.
All participating service providers have agreed to subscribe
to this Pledge and to adhere to the promulgated Standards of Service
demonstrating to their customers that they are serious about customer
satisfaction.
These Standards of Service require that an inspection of the
vehicle's (problem) system be made and the results communicated to the\
customer according to industry standards. Given that the industry did
not have such standards, the Motorist Assurance Program successfully
promulgated industry inspection communication standards in 1994-95 for
the following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical Systems.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection communication standards
are continually re-published. In addition to these, standards for
Drive Train and Transmissions have recently been promulgated.
Participating shops utilize these Uniform Inspection & Communication
Standards as part of the inspection process and for communicating
their findings to their customers.
The Motorist Assurance Program continues to work
cooperatively and proactively with government agencies and consumer
groups toward solutions that both benefit the customer and are
mutually acceptable to both regulators and industry. We maintain the
belief that industry must retain control over how we conduct our
business, and we must be viewed as part of the solution and not part
of the problem. Meetings with state and other government officials
(and their representatives), concerned with auto repair and/or
consumer protection, are conducted. Feedback from these sessions is
brought back to the association, and the program adjusted as needed.
To assure auto repair customers recourse if they were not
