Precondition: Ignition ‘On’.
Cooling Fan (PWM)
Take care that no-one can access the engine
compartment during these tests!
This test allows the Technician to turn the cooling fan on in increments to its maximum speed.
Precondition: Ignition ‘On’ Air conditioning is ‘Off’..

2.6 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
Remove

To avoid serious personal injury, never
remove the engine coolant temperature (ECT)
sensor when the engine is hot. Allow the
engine to cool to ambient temperature (less
than 50 °
°°
°
C) before performing this procedure.
1 Turn the ignition switch off.

To avoid serious personal injury, never
remove the coolant filler cap when the engine
is hot. Allow the engine to cool to ambient
temperature (less than 50 °
°°
°
C) before
performing this procedure.
2 Allow the engine to cool to ambient temperature less than 50 °C, and slowly remove coolant filler cap located on the
coolant outlet housing.
3 Drain approximately two litres of coolant into a suitable container, refer to 6B1 – Engine Cooling – V6.
4 Disconnect the wiring harness connector (1) from the ECT sensor (2).

Clean the area around the ECT before
removal to avoid debris from entering the
engine.
5 Remove the ECT sensor (1). NOTE
If coolant leaks from the cylinder head as the
sensor is removed, screw the sensor back into
the cylinder head and drain more coolant from
the cooling system.
6 If required, test the ECT sensor, refer to the Test in this Section.
Figure 6C1-3 – 13
Test

To prevent component damage, use
connector test adaptor kit J 35616-A.
Resistance Check
1 Suspend the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and a suitable thermometer in a container of 50/50 DEX- COOL® long life coolant or equivalent and water.
NOTE
Neither the ECT sensor or thermometer should
rest on the bottom of the container due to an
uneven concentration of heat at this point when
the container is heated.
2 Connect a digital ohmmeter using connector test adaptor kit J 35616-A to the ECT sensor.
3 Measure the resistance across terminals 1 and 2.
4 W hilst heating the container, observe the resistance values as the temperature increases and compare the
temperature / resistance change to the specifications.

Reinstall
Reinstallation of the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the
following:
1 Tighten the ECT sensor to the correct torque specification.
Engine coolant temperature sensor
torque specification ............................................22.0 Nm
2 Refill the cooling system, refer to 6B1 Engine Cooling – V6.
3 Road test the vehicle and check for correct operation, taking particular note there is no coolant leakage.
2.7 Engine Control Module
Service of the engine control module (ECM) should normally consist of either replacement or ECM programming. If the
diagnostic procedures call for the ECM to be replaced, it should be first checked to ensure it is the correct part. If it is,
replace the faulty ECM.

Do not touch the ECM connector pins as
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage may
result.

When removing or reinstalling the ECM wiring
harness connector/s, ensure the ignition
switch is in the OFF position and the battery
has been disconnected. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the ECM and / or
associated componentry.
Disconnection of the battery affects certain
vehicle electronic systems. Refer to 6D1-3
Battery - V6 before disconnecting the battery.

Oil Fouled (3)
W et, oily deposits with minor electrode wear possibly due to oil leaking past worn piston rings.
Breaking in a new or recently overhauled engine before the rings are fully seated may also result in this condition.
Deposit Fouling A (4)
Red brown, yellow and white coloured coatings on the insulator tip which are by-products of combustion. They come
from fuel and lubricating oil which generally contain additives. Most powdery deposits have no adverse effect on spark
plug operation, however, they may cause intermittent missing under severe operating conditions.
Deposit Fouling B (5)
Deposits similar to those identified in deposit fouling A (4). These are also by-products of combustion from fuel and
lubricating oil. Excessive valve stem clearances and / or defective intake valve seals allow too much oil to enter the
combustion chamber. The deposits will accumulate on the portion of the spark plug that projects into the chamber and
will be heaviest on the side facing the intake valve. If this condition is only detected in one or two cylinders, check the
valve stem seals.
Deposit Fouling C (6)
Most powdery deposits identified in deposit fouling A (4) have no adverse effect on the operation of the spark plug as
long as they remain powdery.
Under certain conditions of operation however, these deposits melt and form a shiny glaze coating on the insulator.
W hen hot, this acts as a good electrical conductor allowing the current to flow along the deposit instead of sparking
across the gap.
Detonation (7)
Commonly referred to as engine knock or pinging, detonation causes severe shocks inside the combustion chamber
causing damage to parts.
Pre-ignition (8)
Burnt or blistered insulator tip and badly eroded electrodes probably due to the excessive heat.
This is often caused by a cooling system blockage, sticking valves, improperly installed spark plugs or plugs that are the
wrong heat rating (too hot).
Sustained high speed with a heavy load can produce temperatures high enough to cause pre-ignition.
Heat Shock Failure (9)
A rapid increase in spark plug tip temperature under severe operating conditions can cause heat shock and result in
fractured insulators. This is a common cause of broken and cracked insulator tips.
Insufficient Installation Torque (10)
Poor contact between the spark plug and the cylinder head seat.
The lack of proper heat transfer that results from poor seat contact causes overheating of the spark plug. In many cases,
severe damage occurs. Dirty threads in the cylinder head can cause the plug to seize before it is seated.
Ensure the cylinder head and spark plug threads are free of deposits, burrs and scale before installation.

1 General Information
1.1 Components
Generator
The Mitsubishi generator can be identified visually by its two lower and one upper mounting lugs.
It is mounted to the lower right-hand side of the engine block. It is driven by the same drive belt that drives other engine
ancillaries and requires no periodic drive belt adjustment.
The generator has three phases, incorporating a rotor with six pole pairs fitted and two internal cooling fans; one on the
drive-end and one on the slip-ring end. The rotor is supported by ball bearings in both the drive and slip-ring end
housings. Surrounding the rotor is a stator, which has a three phase delta connected output winding construction on a
ring shaped lamination pack.
The output of the stator winding is rectified by eight diodes that are contained within the slip-ring end housing. Excitation
current is supplied to the rotor field coil via the voltage regulator, the brushes and slip-rings. The electronic voltage
regulator requires no adjustment in service.
The generator has four external connections (refer to Figure 6D1-1 1):
• Generator – Terminal P-9 to the battery positive terminal P-1 via fuse SBF1,
• Generator – E-4 pin 1 to the ECM connection E-60 pin 43 – regulator monitoring,
• Generator – E-4 pin 2 to the ECM connection E60 pin 21 – battery voltage sensing, and
• ground connection via the installation bolts.
Generator Types
The vehicle is fitted with a 120 amp generator.

8 Attach the other end of the same cable to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
9 Attach one end of the black jumper cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery.
10 Attach the other end to a solid stationary, metallic point on the engine of the disabled vehicle.

NOTE
If the engine in the disabled vehicle does not start
within 30 seconds, stop cranking the engine and
fix the cause. Refer to 3 Diagnosis.
14 W hen the engine starts, allow both engines to idle for approximately seven minutes. This allows the voltage levels in both vehicles to balance.
15 Leave the vehicles running and remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence to attaching them. W hen removing each clamp, take care to ensure that it does not touch any other metal.
16 Discard the wet cloths covering the battery filler caps of both batteries.
