SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
BRAKE PEDAL INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
1.Measure the brake pedal height as illustrated. If the’brakepedal height is not within the standard value, adjust as
follows.
Standard value (A): 177
- 182 mm (7.0 - 7.2 in.)
(I) Disconnect the stop light switch connector, loosen the
lock nut, and move the stop light switch to a position
where it does not contact the brake pedal arm.
(2) Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the operating
rod with pliers (with the operating. rod lock nut
loosened), until the correct brake pedal height is
obtained.
(3) After screwing in the stop light switch until it contacts
the brake pedal stopper (just before the brake pedal is
caused to move), return the stop light switch
l/2 to 1
turn and secure by tightening the lock nut.
(4) Connect the connector of the stop light switch.
(5) Check to be sure that the stop light is not illuminated
with the brake pedal unpressed.
Reference value (6): 0.5
- 1.0 mm (.02 - .04 in.)
2. On vehicles with automatic transaxle, check the shift-lock
mechanism. (Refer to GROUP 23
- Transaxle Control.)
3. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal two or
three times. After eliminating the vacuum in the power
brake booster, press the pedal down by hand, and confirm
that the amount of movement before resistance is met (the
free play) is within the standard value range.
Standard value (C): 3
- 8 mm (.I - .3 in.)
If the free play is less than the standard value, confirm that
the clearance between the stop light switch and brake
pedal is within the standard value.
If the free play exceeds the standard value, it is probably
due to excessive play between the clevis pin and brake
pedal arm. Check for excessive clearance and replace faulty
parts as required.
4.Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with approximate-
ly 500 N (110
Ibs.) of force, and measure the clearance
between the brake pedal and the floorboard.
Standard value (D): 80 mm (3.1 in.) or more
If the clearance is less than the standard value, check for air
trapped in the brake line and for brake fluid leaks. If
necessary, check the brake system mechanism (excessive
shoe clearance due to faulty auto adjuster) and repair faulty
parts as required.~1~1

3. The brake fluid level sensor is in good condition if there is
‘k&Jno continuity when the float surface is above “A”, and if,there is continuity when the float surface is below “A”.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATING INSPECTION
M35FCAOFor simple checking of brake booster operation, carry out the
following tests.
1.Run the engine for one or two minutes, and then stop it.
2. Step on the brake pedal several times with normal
pressure.If the pedal depresses fully the first time but gradually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times, the
booster is operating properly.
If the pedal height remains unchanged, the booster is
faulty.
3. With the engine stopped, step on the brake pedal several
times with the same pressure to make sure that the pedal
height will not change.
Then step on the brake pedal and start the engine.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster is in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is faulty.
4.With the engine running, step on the brake pedal and then
stop the engine.
Hold the pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If the pedal
height does not change, the booster is in good condition. If
the pedal rises, the booster is faulty.
If the above three tests are okay, the booster performance can
be determined as good.
If one of the above three tests is not okay at last, the check
valve, vacuum hose, or booster will be faulty.
CHECK VALVE OPERATION CHECKM35FNALWhen checking the check valve, keep the check valve fit in the
vacuum hose.
1. Remove the vacuum hose.
Caution
The check valve is press-fit inside the vacuum hose and
do not remove the check valve from the vacuum hose.1

POINTS IN WAVEFORM MEASUREMENT
Symptom

NOTEThe wheel speed sensor cable moves following motion of the front or rear suspension. Therefore, it is likely that it has an
open circuit only when driving on rough roads and it functions normally on ordinary roads. It is, therefore, recommended
to observe sensor output voltage waveform also under special conditions, such as rough road driving,

INSPECTION OF HYDRAULIC UNITINSPECTION BY FEEL
(I) Jack up the vehicle and support the vehicle with rigid racks
placed at the specified jack-up points.
(2) Release the parking brake and determine the drag force
(drag torque) of each wheel by feel.
LJ(3) Set the MUT through the adapter harness (MB991377) as
illustrated.
(4) After confirming that the shift lever or selector lever is in
the neutral position, start the engine.
The ABS warning light lights up, it goes into the MUT mode.
In the MUT mode, ABS does not function.
(5) Operate the MUT to force the actuator to operate (item No.
04, 05, 06).
(6) Turning the wheel manually, check the change of the
braking force when the brake pedal is depressed.
The change should be as shown in the following illustration.
NOTEWhile the ABS is in the fail safe mode, the MUT actuator
test cannot be made.

REMEDY IN CASE OF DISCHARGED BATTERY
M35FOAQIf the engine is jump-started, because of a completely
discharged battery, the vehicle may suffer misfiring and fail to
start if an attempt is made to start without allowing the battery
to recover sufficiently. This is because the ABS consumes a
great deal of current for its self check. In such a case, allow the
battery to sufficiently charge or remove the ABS power relay in
the engine compartment to disable the ABS. Removing the
ABS causes the ABS warning light to light. After the battery is
charged sufficiently, install the power relay and restart the
engine to check that the ABS warning light goes out.
INSPECTION OF VALVE RELAY AND MOTOR
RELAY (ABS)M35FOAR1. Remove the splash shield
(FR) and remove the relay box
cover by inserting a screwdriver between the hydraulic unit
and cover to pry off the lock.
2.Remove the relays. The one closest to you (larger one) is
the motor relay and the one farthest from you (smaller one)
is the valve relay.

STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECKM37FABI
1.With engine running (hydraulic operation), set front wheels
straight ahead.
2. Measure the play on steering wheel circumference before
wheels start to move when slightly moving steering wheel
in both directions.
Limit: 30 mm (1.2 in.)
3:When the play exceeds the limit, check for play on steering
shaft connection and steering linkage. Correct or replace.
4. If the free play still exceeds the limit value set steering
wheel straight ahead with engine stopped. Load 5 N
(1 lb.)
towards steering wheel circumference and check play.
Standard values (steering wheel play with engine
stopped): 11 mm
(.43 in.)
If the play exceeds the standard value, remove steering
gear box and check total pinion torque.
STEERING ANGLE CHECKM37FDBK1. Set front wheels on turning radius gauge and measure
steering angle.
Standard values:Inner wheel
33”45’ k 2”
Outer wheel
28”21’2. When not within the standard value, it is probably a toe
problem. Adjust toe (refer to GROUP 33A
- Service
Adjustment Procedures) and recheck.
TIE ROD END BALL JOINT VARIATION CHECK
(SHAFT DIRECTION)M37FPAF1. Hold the ball joint with pliers.
2.Set a caliper gauge as illustrated and measure the displace-
ment with the ball stud compressed.
Limit: 1.5 mm
(.059 in.)
3. If the measured displacement exceeds the limit, replace
the tie-rod end.
Caution
Even if the variation is within the limit, check ball jointstarting torque.

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 (from
rendering 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 the
SRS or any SRS-related component.
