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.
