A/C SWITCH
When turned on, the A/C system will operate if blower motor
control lever is in a position other than OFF. When activated, A/C
switch allows A/C compressor clutch to engage and operate the
compressor.
A/C ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SWITCH
The A/C engine coolant temperature switch, located on
thermostat housing, is wired in series with compressor clutch. When
coolant temperature is greater than switch control temperature, power
to compressor is cut and compressor is turned off until temperature
returns to operating range. Switch will turn on at 226
F (108C) and
off at 235-243F (112-118C).
AIR SELECTOR LEVER
The lever moves horizontally to select source of air used
inside passenger compartment. Lever moves from position on left
(outside air mode) to position on right (recirculated air mode). Lev\
er
should be set in recirculated air mode for maximum A/C cooling.
BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL SWITCH
Blower motor control switch rotates to select blower motor
speeds. As switch is rotated from left or OFF position, increasing
speeds of blower operation are selected. In order for A/C system to
operate, blower motor control switch must be in a position other than
OFF.
MODE SELECTOR KNOB
Mode selector knob has six modes available to achieve desired
distribution of air from various outlets. When knob is rotated fully
to left (counterclockwise), airflow is directed to upper passenger
area. In second position (clockwise), airflow is directed to upper
passenger area and slightly to leg area. Position 3, directs air
mostly to leg area and slightly to upper passenger area. Position 4,
directs air exclusively to leg area. Position 5, directs air to leg
area and to windshield and door windows. Position 6, directs air
exclusively to windshield and door windows.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB
Temperature control knob operates blend-air door in
heater/air conditioning unit, mixing cooled and heated air so that
selected air temperature can be obtained. The system will provide
cooled air when A/C switch is in ON position and blower motor is in
any position other than OFF. Temperature control knob should be on far
left (maximum cooling) side of temperature selection scale when
maximum A/C cooling is desired.
DUAL-PRESSURE SWITCH
The dual-pressure switch, mounted on receiver-drier, is wired
in series with compressor clutch. Whenever system pressures drop below
or increase above control points of switch, power supplied to
compressor will be cut and compressor function will cease until
pressures are back to normal operating ranges.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
GENERAL INFORMATION
Anti-Lock Brake Safety Precautions
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
This article is intended for general information purposes
only. This information may not apply to all makes and models. If
vehicle is equipped with Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), refer to
appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article in the BRAKES section for
description, operation, depressurizing, testing, system bleeding,
trouble shooting and servicing of specific system.
WARNING: Failure to depressurize ABS could lead to physical injury.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Failure to depressurize ABS could lead to physical injury.
* NEVER open a bleeder valve or loosen a hydraulic line
while ABS is pressurized.
* NEVER disconnect or reconnect any electrical connectors
while ignition is on. Damage to ABS control unit may result.
* DO NOT attempt to bleed hyudarulic system without first
referring to the appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article
in the BRAKES section.
* Only use specially designed brake hoses/lines on ABS equipped
vehicles.
* DO NOT tap on speed sensor components (sensor, sensor rings).
Sensor rings must be pressed into hubs, NOT hammered into
hubs. Striking these components can cause demagnetization or
a loss of polarization, affecting the accuracy of the speed
signal returning to the ABS control unit.
* DO NOT mix tire sizes. Increasing the width, as long as tires
remain close to the original diameter, is acceptable. Rolling
diameter must be identical for all 4 tires. Some
manufacturers recommend tires of the same brand, style and
type. Failure to follow this precaution may cause inaccurate
wheel speed readings.
* DO NOT contaminate speed sensor components with grease. Only
use recommended coating, when system calls for an
anti-corrosion coating.
* When speed sensor components have been removed, ALWAYS check
sensor-to-ring air gaps when applicable. These specifications
can be found in each appropriate article.
* ONLY use rocommended brake fluids. DO NOT use silicone brake
fluids in an ABS equipped vehicle.
* When instlling transmittion devices (CB's, telephones, etc.)
on ABS equipped vehicles, DO NOT locate the antenna near the
ABS control unit (or any control unit).
* Disconnect all on-board computers, when using electric
welding equipment.
* DO NOT expose the ABS control unit to prolonged periods of
high heat (185
F/85C for 2 hours is generally considered a
maximum limit).

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
RETRIEVING DTCs
Using Scan Tool
1) With ignition off, connect scan tool and ROM Pack to Data
Link Connector (DLC) located under driver's side of dash, and to
cigarette lighter socket. See Fig. 7.
2) Turn ignition on. ANTI-LOCK warning light should come on
as ABS goes into self-diagnostic mode. Read and record all Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs) from ECU memory. Refer to scan tool
manufacturer's instructions for specific DTC retrieval procedure.
3) After all of the DTCs have been retrieved and recorded,
clear codes from ECU memory. Refer to scan tool manufacturer's
instructions for specific DTC clearing instructions. Refer to DTC
DEFINITION under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM . Refer to the appropriate DTC
under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS .
4) If DTCs cannot be cleared, ECU is currently detecting a
malfunction. If codes can be cleared, problem is either intermittent
or only appears while driving.

ROTORS
Determine the need to recondition based upon individual rotor
conditions that follow. Friction material replacement does not require
rotor reconditioning unless other justifications exist. DO NOT
recondition new rotors unless they are being pressed or bolted onto an
existing hub. It is not necessary to replace rotors in axle sets.
However, when replacing or reconditioning a rotor due to the
conditions that follow, you may suggest reconditioning of the other
rotor on the same axle to eliminate uneven braking behavior.
Determine the need to replace based upon the individual rotor
conditions that follow. Reconditioning is defined as machining and
block sanding, or block sanding only. Block sanding is defined as
using 120-150 grit sandpaper with moderate to heavy force for 60
seconds per side. Always wash rotors after servicing or before
installing.

DOOR LOCKS - POWER & KEYLESS ENTRY
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
1998 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT
Mitsubishi - Keyless Entry & Power Door Locks
Montero & 3000GT
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
On 3000GT, power door locks are controlled by driver or
passenger switches which send signals to Electronic Timer Alarm
Control System (ETACS) ECU. ETACS-ECU sends appropriate signals to
individual door lock actuators through individual relays.
The following features are incorporated in power door lock
systems that have an ETACS-ECU:
* Once locked door is closed, system will unlock door if key
remains in ignition switch.
* Continuous switching between lock and unlock of door will
disable system for about one minute.
On Montero, power door lock actuator receives signal from
individual control relay that is operated by a switch incorporated in
actuator. On all models, all door locks are actuated with operation of
one lock.
Montero and 3000GT offer optional keyless entry system. Use
of a 2-button portable remote control operates door locks within a
range of 13 ft. (4 m). Dome light flashes twice when doors are locked
and illuminates for 3 seconds when doors are unlocked. If, after 30
seconds, door(s) have not been opened when unlocked with keyless entry\
system, doors will relock.
