WHEN USING A TENSION GAUGE
Use a belt tension gauge to check that the belt tension is within
the standard value.
Standard value:
.
BELT DEFLECTION CHECK
Apply approximately 98 N (22 lb) of force to the middle of the
drive belt between the pulleys (at the place indicated by the
arrow) and check that the amount of deflection is within the
standard value.
Standard value:
.if the tension or deflection is outside the standard value, adjust
by the following procedure.
1. Loosen the tensioner pulley lock nut.
2. Adjust the belt tension to the standard value by turning the
adjusting bolt. The tension will increase when turning the
adjusting bolt clockwise, and decrease when turning
counterclockwise.
3. Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 49
9 Nm (36 7 ft-lb)
4. Tighten the adjusting bolt.
Tightening torque: 5.0
1.0 Nm (44 9 in-lb)
Check after turning the crankshaft one or more rotations
clockwise.
5. Check the belt deflection amount and tension, and readjust
if necessary.

6. Securely insert the dipstick.
NOTE: The transmission fluid should always be replaced
under the following conditions:
.
When troubleshooting the transaxle.

TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE
Refer to GROUP 23A, Automatic Transmission - On-vehicle
Service P.23A-296.
12. ENGINE COOLANT (CHANGE)M1001003100357
Check the cooling system parts such as the radiator, heater
and oil cooler hoses, thermostat and their connections for leak-
age and damage.
.
CHANGING COOLANT
1. Set the temperature control knob to the "HOT" position.
2. Run the engine until the engine coolant warms, and then
stop the engine.
When removing the radiator cap, use care to avoid
contact with hot coolant or steam. Place a shop towel
over the cap and turn the cap counterclockwise a lit-
tle to let the pressure escape through the vinyl tube.
After relieving the steam pressure, remove the cap by
slowly turning it counterclockwise.
3. Drain the water from the radiator, heater core and engine
after unplugging the radiator drain plug and removing the
radiator cap.

4. Drain the water in the water jacket by unplugging the drain
plug of the cylinder block.
5. Remove the radiator condenser tank assembly and drain the
coolant.
6. Drain the coolant then clean the path of the coolant by
injecting water into the radiator from the radiator cap area.
7. Apply the designated sealant to the screw area of the
cylinder block drain plug, and then tighten to the standard
torque.
Specified sealant: Loctite 577 or equivalent
Tightening torque:
<3.8L Engine> 39
5 Nm
8. Securely tighten the radiator drain plug.
9. Assemble the radiator condenser tank assembly.
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or any engine
coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The
use of an improper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the
aluminum components.
10.By referring to the section on coolant, select an appropriate
concentration for safe operating temperature within the
range of 30 to 60%. Use special tool MB991871 to refill the
coolant. A convenient mixture is a 50% water and 50%
antifreeze solution [freezing point:
31C (32.8 F)].
Recommended antifreeze: Long Life Antifreeze
Coolant or an equivalent
Quantity:
<3.8L Engine> 8.7 Litres
NOTE: For how to use special tool MB991871, refer to its
manufacturer’s instructions.
11.Reinstall the radiator cap.
12.Start the engine and let it warm up until the thermostat
opens.
13.After repeatedly revving the engine up to 3,000 r/min
several times, stop the engine.

18. SUSPENSION SYSTEM (INSPECT FOR
LOOSENESS AND DAMAGE)
M1001009600048
Visually inspect the front/rear suspension components for dete-
rioration and damage. Re-tighten the front/rear suspension
components retaining bolts to specified torque.
19. SRS AIR BAG (INSPECT FOR SRS SYSTEM)M1001003700326
The entire SRS including air bag and pre-tensioner seat belt
must be inspected by an authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORS
dealer 10 years.
SRS WARNING LIGHT CHECK
Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position. Does the
"SRS" warning light illuminate for several seconds, and then go
out? If yes, the SRS system is functioning properly. If no, refer
to GROUP 52B, Diagnosis P.52B-215.
SRS COMPONENT VISUAL CHECK
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the bat-
tery cable before doing any further work. The SRS
system is designed to retain enough voltage to
deploy the air bag for a short time even after the bat-
tery has been disconnected. Serious injury may result
from unintended air bag deployment if work is done
on the SRS system immediately after the battery
cable is disconnected.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position,
disconnect the negative battery cable and tape the terminal.
2. Remove the floor console assembly (Refer to GROUP 52A,
Floor Console P.52A-10).
3. Disconnect a connector from the SRS-ECU.

MAINTENANCE SERVICE
GENERAL00-53
SRS AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (SRS-ECU)
The SRS may not activate if the SRS-ECU is not
installed properly, which could result in serious injury
or death to the vehicle's driver and front passenger.
1. Check the SRS-ECU case for dents, cracks, deformation or
rust.
2. Check the connector for damage, and check the terminals
for deformation or rust.
Replace the SRS-ECU if it fails the visual checks above
(Refer to GROUP 52B, SRS Air Bag Control Unit
P.52B-234).
AIR BAG MODULE, STEERING WHEEL AND
CLOCK SPRING
The removed air bag module should be stored in a
clean, dry place with the pad cover face up.
Replace any visually inspected part if it fails the
following inspection.
1. Remove the air bag module, steering wheel and clock
spring.
(Refer to GROUP 52B, Air Bag Module and Clock Spring
P.52B-237).
2. Check the pad cover for dents, cracks or deformation.

MAINTENANCE SERVICE
GENERAL00-54
3. Check the connector for damage and deformed terminals,
and check the harness for binding.
4. Check the air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or
deformation.
5. Check the harness (built into the steering wheel) and
connectors for damage, and check the terminals for
deformation.
6. Check the clock spring connectors and protective tube for
damage, and terminals for deformities.
7. Visually check the case for damage.
If the clock spring's mating mark is not properly
aligned, the steering wheel may not completely rotate
during turn, or the flat cable within the clock spring
may be severed, obstructing normal operation of the
SRS and possibly lead to serious injury to the vehi-
cle's driver and front passenger.
8. Align the mating marks of the clock spring first. After turning
the front wheels to the straight-ahead position, install the
clock spring to the column.
Mating Marks Alignment;
After turning the clock spring fully clockwise, turn it
approximately 3 3/4 turns counterclockwise until the mating
marks are aligned.
9. Install the steering column covers, steering wheel and air
bag module (Refer to GROUP 52B, Air Bag Module and
Clock Spring P.52B-237).
10.Check the steering wheel for noise, binding or difficult
operation.

MAINTENANCE SERVICE
GENERAL00-55
The SRS may not activate if any of the above compo-
nents are not installed properly, which could result in
serious injury or death to the vehicle's driver and
front passenger.
11.Check the steering wheel for excessive free play.
Replace any part if it fails visual inspection (Refer to
GROUP 52B, Air Bag Module and Clock Spring P.52B-237).
FRONT SEATBACK ASSEMBLY WITH
SIDE-AIRBAG MODULE
If any improper part is found during the following
inspection, replace the front seatback assembly
with a new one.
Dispose of the old one according to the specified
procedure (Refer to GROUP 52B, Air Bag Module
Disposal Procedures P.52B-254).
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of
the air bag module (squib) even if you are using
the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is mea-
sured with a tester, accidental air bag deployment
will result in serious personal injury.
1. Check the air bag module deployment section for dents or
deformation.
2. Check the connector for damage; Check the terminals for
deformation; and check the harness for binding.
Replace the front seat if it fails the visual checks above
(Refer to GROUP 52A, Front Seat P.52A-33).
SEAT BELT WITH PRE-TENSIONER
If the seat belt pre-tensioner is not installed
securely and correctly, the seat belt pre-tensioner
may not operate normally.
If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected,
replace with a new seat belt pre-tensioner.
1. Check the seat belt pre-tensioner for dents or deformation.
2. Check that the seat belt pre-tensioner is installed correctly to
the vehicle body.
Replace the seat belt pre-tensioner if it fails the visual
checks above (Refer to GROUP 52B, Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner P.52B-250).
