SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
ENGINE COOLANT LEAK CHECKMl4FAAF
1. Loosen cap.
2.Confirm that the engine coolant level is up to the filler neck.
3.Install an adapter to the water outlet fitting and apply 160
kPa (23 psi) pressure. Hold pressure for two minutes, while
checking for leakage from the radiator, hose or connec-
tions.
CautionBe sure to completely clean away any moisture from
the places checked.
When the tester is removed, be careful not to spill anyengine coolant from it.
Be careful, when installing and removing the tester andwhen testing, not to deform the water outlet fitting.
4. If there is leakage, repair or replace the appropriate part.
CAP PRESSURE TESTM14FBAH1. Use a special tool to attach the cap to the tester.
2.Increase the pressure until the indicator of the gauge stops
moving.
Limit: 65
kPa (9.2 psi)
Standard value: 75
- 105 kPa (11 - 15 psi)
3:Replace the cap if the reading does not remain at or above
the limit.
NOTEBe sure that the cap is clean before testing, since rust or
other foreign material on the cap seal will cause an
improper indication.

INSPECTIONMl7NCAA
Inspect for damage, cracking or deterioration. Replace if faulty.
Caution1. Operation of any type, including idling, should be
avoided if engine misfiring occurs. Under this conditionthe exhaust system will operate at abnormally high
temperature, which may cause damage to the catalystor underbody parts of the vehicle.
2.Alteration or deterioration of ignition or fuel system, or
any type of operating condition which results in enginemisfiring must be corrected to avoid overheating the
catalytic converters.
3.Proper maintenance and tune up according to manufac-turer’s specifications should be made to correct the
‘bi
conditions as soon as possible.TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
(1)A Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which uses a driver-side air bag, has been installed in the 3000GT.(2)The SRS includes the following components: impact sensors, SRS diagnosis unit: SRS warning light, air bagmodule, clock spring, interconnecting wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be
removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents byan asterisk (*).
WARNING!(1)Improper service or maintenance of any component of the SRS, or any SRS-related component, can lead to
personal injury or death to service personnel (from inadvertent firing of the air bag) or to the driver (fromrendering the
SRS inoperative).(2) Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.(3) MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B
-Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of theSRS or any SRS-related component.

TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL INSPECTIONRefer to GROUP 00
- Maintenance Service.
TRANSMISSION OIL REPLACEMENTM22FCAI(1) Position vehicle on a flat level.
(2) Remove filler and drain plugs and allow the transmission oil
to drain.
(3) Refill the transaxle to the proper level with specified
transmission oil. The oil level should be the bottom of the oil
filler hole.
Transmission oil: Hypoid gear oil, SAE 75W-85W con-
forming to API classification GL-4 or
higherC2.3 liters (2.4 pts.)]
SPEEDOMETER CABLE REPLACEMENTMUFEALl
1.Correctly insert the adapter into the instrument panel, and
fasten the new speedometer cable.
2.Install the grommet so that, as shown in the illustration, the
cable attachment part and the projecting part are horizontal.
CautionThe cable arrangement should be made so that the
radius of cable bends is 150 mm (5.9 in.) or more.
3.At the transaxle end of the speedometer cable, the key joint
should be inserted into the transaxle, and the nut should be
securely tightened.
Caution
If the cable is not correctly and securely connected, it
may cause incorrect indication. by the speedometer, orabnormal noise. Be sure to connect it correctly.
