ignition coil MITSUBISHI 3000GT 1995 2.G User Guide

OPERATION
When engine is stoppedWhen the ignition switch is switched to the “ON”
position, electricity flows from the
‘I” terminal of
the generator to the field coil, and at the same time
the charging warning light illuminates.
When engine is being started/has started
When the engine is started, charging voltage is ap-
plied to the ‘I” terminal of the generator, with the
result that the charging warning light is extinguished.
In addition, because battery voltage is applied to
the “S” terminal of the generator, this battery voltage
is monitored at the
IC voltage regulator, thus switch-ing ON and OFF the current to the field coil and
thereby controlling the output voltage of the genera-
tor.
Power is supplied to each load from the “B” terminal
of the generator.
NOTE
The generator relay functions as a back-up for the
flow of electricity to the field coil if there is a discon-
nection or damaged wiring of the charging warning
light.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS1. Charging warning light does not go on when
the ignition switch is turned to “ON”, before the
engine starts.l Check the bulb.
2.Charging warning light fails to go off once the
engine starts.l
Check the IC voltage regulator (located with-
in the generator).
3. Discharged or overcharged battery.l
Check the IC voltage regulator (located with-
in the generator).4. The charging warning light illuminates dimly.
l Check the diode (within the combination
meter) for a short-circuit.

OPERATION
L
0For models equipped with the M/T, the clutch
pedal position switch contact is switched OFF
when the clutch pedal is depressed; when the
ignition switch is then switched to the “ST’ posi-tion, electricity flows to the starter relay and
the starter motor, the contact (magnetic switch)of the starter is switched ON and the starter
motor is activated.
NOTEIf the ignition switch is switched to the “ST
position without the clutch pedal being de-
pressed, electricity flows to the starter relay
(coil), the clutch pedal position switch (contacts)
and to ground, with the result that the contacts
of the starter relay are switched OFF, and, be-
cause the power to the starter motor is thereby
interrupted, the starter motor is not activated.lFor models equipped with the
AIT, when the
ignition switch is switched to the “ST’ position
while the selector lever is at the “P” or “N” posi-
tion, the contact (magnetic switch) of the starter
is switched ON and the starter motor is activated.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSThe starter motor does not operate at all.
l Check the starter (coil).
lCheck for poor contact at the battery terminals
and starter.l Check Park/Neutral position switch.
l Check clutch pedal position switch.
l Check starter relay.
l Check theft-alarm starter relay.
l Check key reminder switch.

switch.
(2)Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and M-terminal.(3) Set switch to “ON”, and pinion will move out.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning.(4) Check pinion to stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a
feeler gauge.

OPERATIONl
Turn ignition switch to .“ON”position, and batteryvoltage will be applied to primary winding of
ignition coil.l
When crankshaft position sensor and camshaft
position sensor signal is input to engine control
module, engine control module makes ON-OFF
control of power transistors one by one.l When power transistor is turned on, current
flows from ignition coil (primary winding) to
ground through power transistor.l When power transistor A is turned from ON
to OFF, the spark plugs of No. 1 and No. 4
cylinders spark. Turning of power transistor B
from ON to OFF will produce sparking in spark
plugs of No. 2 and No. 5 cylinders. Furthermore,
when power transistor C is turned from ON toOFF, sparking is produced in spark plugs of
No. 3 and No. 6 cylinders.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS1. Engine cranks, but does not start.
(1) Spark is insufficient or does not occur at
all (on spark plug).l Check ignition coil.
l Check camshaft position sensor and
crankshaft position sensorl Check power transistor.
l Check spark plugs.
l Check spark plug cable.
(2) Spark is good.
l Check ignition timing.
2. Engine idles roughly or stalls.
l Check spark plugs.
l Check ignition timing.
l Check ignition coil.
l Check spark plug cable.
3. Poor acceleration
l Check ignition timing.
l Check spark plug cable.
l Check ignition coil.

(1)Remove the ignition coil connector and connect the special
tool (harness connector: MD998464) in between.
(2) When observing the No. 1 - No. 4 cylinder group, connectthe primary pickup of the analyzer probe to the ignition
coil side connector terminal No. 2 (black clip on the special
tool).
For the No. 2 - No. 5 cylinder group, connect to terminal
No. 1 (red clip), and for the No. 3
- No. 6 cylinder group,connect to terminal No. 4 (white clip).
(3) Ground the primary pickup ground terminal.
(4) Clamp the spark plug cable with the trigger pickup.
NOTE(1) Clamp the spark plug cable of cylinder No. 1, No.
2 or No. 3 which belongs to the same group of the
cylinder to which the primary pickup is connected.
(2) The wave-form of any cylinder in the same group
is displayed on the left side of the screen.
