SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
(1)A Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which uses a driver-side air bag, has been installed in the 3668GT.(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 beremoved/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 topersonal 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) MlTSUBISHI 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
ISRS or any SRS-related component.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE - Troubleshootincl23-19Based upon use of the troubleshooting
Checks should be made of fluid levels and
the condition of the ATF, as well as the
condition of the manual control cables;
adjustments should then be made if found
to be necessary.
If a presumption has been made that there
is an abnormal condition somewhere in
the electronic-control system, check the
fault code, in order to determine the
probable location of the problem, by using
a multi-use tester or voltmeter.
I
When the abnormal system is discovered,
check each element (sensors, etc.) one by
one, and make repairs as necessary.
IWhen the abnormal condition is presumed
to be in the oil-pressure-control system
When the result of the oil-pressure test
does not satisfy the specified pressure,
check each system at places related to the
valve body, check the oil-pressure pas-
sages for leakage, etc.
I
If the problem isunusually dirty ATF,
abnormal noises, oil leakage, or slippage of
the clutch or brakes, or an abnormal
condition of the transaxle itself, disassem-
ble and repair the transaxle.
TROUBLESHOOTINGM23EEAYFunctional malfunctions of the ELC4A/T can lead to other
problems, such as those described below:(I
) Improper maintenance and/or adjustments
(2) Malfunctions of the electronic control functions
(3) Malfunctions of mechanical functions
(4) Malfunctions of hydraulic control functions
(5) Malfunctions of engine performance
etc.
In order to properly determine (“Troubleshoot”) the source of
these malfunctions, it is first essential to methodically question
the user concerning the details of the problem, such as the
condition of the problem, the situation at the time the problem
occurred, and any other relevant information, all in as much
detail as possible. The user should also be asked whether or
not the problem has occurred more than once, and under what
conditions.
Subsequently, certain tests should be conducted in a certain
order, as described at the left.

23-46AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE - Service Adjustment Procedures
Fluid level must be
within this range.
TFA038:
SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE!5
MZ3FElBJ
TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL INSPECTION
1.Drive until the fluid temperature reaches the usual tempera-
ture
170 - 80°C (160 - 18O”F)].2. Place vehicle on level floor.
3. Move selector lever sequentially to every position to fill
torque converter and hydraulic circuit with fluid, then place
lever in “N” Neutral position.
4. Before removing dipstick, wipe all dirt from area
arouniddipstick. Then take out the dipstick and check the condition
of the fluid.
The transaxle should be overhauled under the following
conditions.
’ l If there is a “burning” odor.
l If the fluid color has become noticeably blacker.
lIf there is a noticeably great amount of metal particles in
the fluid.
5.Check to see if fluid level is in “HOT” range on dipstick. If
fluid level is low, add automatic transmission fluid until level
reaches “HOT” range.
Transmission fluid: MITSUBISHI PLUS ATF/Automatictransmission fluid “DEXRON”
abr“DEXRON II”
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions because it
allows pump to take in air along with fluid. Air trapped in
hydraulic circuit forms bubbles which make fluid spongy.
Therefore, pressures will be erratic, causing delayed shift,
slippy clutch and brakes, etc.
Improper filling can also raise fluid level too high. When
transaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam
anldcause the same conditions which occur with low fluid level,
resulting in accelerated deterioration of automatic
transaxllefluid.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating, fluid
oxidation, which can interfere with normal valve, clutch, and
servo operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping
from transaxle vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
6. Be sure to examine fluid on dipstick closely.
