GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-5
INTERMITTENT CONTROL
ETACS-ECU uses the dial position of the variable
intermittent wiper control switch and the vehicle
speed signal sent by the combination meter to calcu-
late the interval to be sent to the front-ECU. The
front-ECU determines the intermittent time from the
input SWS data signal, and turns ON the windshield
wiper drive signal. When the wiper is at the STOP
position, the windshield wiper auto-stop signal goes
OFF to turn OFF the windshield wiper drive signal.
After the intermittent time from when the windshield
wiper drive signal turned ON, the windshield wiper
drive signal is turned ON again and the above opera-
tion is repeated.
.
MIST WIPER CONTROL
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, and the windshield mist wiper switch of the col-
umn switch is turned ON, the front-ECU turns ON the
windshield wiper drive signal. At the same time, the
wiper speed switching relay is turned ON
(HIGH-SPEED). While the windshield mist wiper
switch is ON, the windshield wiper will operate at
high speed. Then, if the windshield mist wiper switch
is turned off, the wiper operates at low speed until it
stops at the predetermined park position.
When the windshield mist switch is turned on briefly,
the wiper operates once at low speed.
At the point the windshield mist switch is turned ON,
if the windshield wiper has been operating intermit-
tently, the same operations as the above will be per-
formed while the windshield mist wiper switch is ON.
After the windshield mist wiper switch goes OFF, the
intermittent operations will be set again after the
windshield wiper auto-stop signal last is turned ON.
.
WASHER CONTROL
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, and the windshield washer switch of the column
switch is turned ON, the front-ECU turns ON the
windshield washer relay. The windshield wiper drive
signal is turned ON in 0.15 seconds until 2 seconds
after the windshield washer switch goes OFF to
operate the windshield wiper continuously. When the
windshield washer switch is turned ON, if the wind-
shield wiper is operating intermittently, intermittent
operations will be continued after continuous opera-
tions.
HEADLAMP
.
HEADLAMP AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN
FUNCTION
Even if the lighting switch (tail lamp switch or
headlamp switch) is ON, the headlamps and tail
lamps will automatically go off in the following condi-
tions to prevent the battery from discharging:
When the ignition key is turned from "ON" to "LOCK"
(OFF) or "ACC" position with the lighting switch
turned ON, and this state continues for three min-
utes, the lamp will automatically be turned off. If the
driver's seat door is opened during these three min-
utes, the lamp will go off one second later.
.
HIGH-BEAM INDICATOR
At the same time that the high beams are illumi-
nated, the ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illuminate
the high-beam indicator via the CAN bus line. The
combination meter receives the transmitted signal
and turns the high-beam indicator on and off.
FLASHER TIMER
.
TURN-SIGNAL LAMP
The turn-signal lamp output (flashing signal) is
turned ON when the ignition switch is ON and the
turn-signal lamp switch is ON (LH or RH). If the front
turn-signal lamp or rear turn-signal lamp bulb has
burned out, the flashing speed increases to indicate
that the bulb has burned out.
.
HAZARD WARNING LAMP
Detects the signal where the hazard warning lamp
switch input changes from OFF to ON, and reverse
the flashing state according to this signal. The haz-
ard warning lamps toggle on and off whenever the
hazard warning lamp switch is operated.
.
TURN-SIGNAL INDICATORS
At the same time that the turn-signal lamps are illu-
minated, the ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illumi-
nate the turn-signal lamp indicator via the CAN bus
line. The combination meter receives the transmitted
signal and turns the turn-signal lamp indicator on and
off.

FOG LAMP
.
FOG LAMP
The fog lamps will illuminate only when the fog lamp
switch is operated while the low-beam headlamps
are on.
The fog lamps will be switched off when any of the
following conditions is met. The fog lamps will also
be switched off automatically by headlamp automatic
shutdown function.
When the high-beam headlamps are switched
on, the fog lamps will be switched off. If the
low-beam headlamps are switched on again, the
fog lamps will illuminate again.
When the headlamp switch is turned off while the
tail lamps are on or the tail lamps and headlamps
are off, the fog lamps will be switched off. If the
low-beam headlamps are switched on again, the
fog lamps will not illuminate again.
.
FOG LAMP INDICATOR
At the same time that the fog lamps are illuminated,
the ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illuminate the fog
lamp indicator via the CAN bus line. The combination
meter receives the transmitted signal and turns the
fog lamp indicator on and off.
INTERIOR LAMP
ETACS-ECU makes it possible to force operation of
all ON and OFF lamp switches in the overhead con-
sole (the dome lamp, reading lamp, cargo area lamp,
rear personal lamps, front door lamps, and front foot
lamps). This function is assigned higher priority than
the controls for the interior lamp switch that are per-
formed when the doors are in certain positions.
When the lamps are forced on, the illumination
level is 100% as all interior lamps are switched on
(the dome lamp, reading lamp, cargo area lamp,
rear personal lamps, front door lamps, and front
foot lamps). Even when all lamps are forced on,
the interior lamp automatic shutoff function is
active.
When the lamps are forced off, all interior lamps
are immediately switched off (the dome lamp,
reading lamp, cargo area lamp, rear personal
lamps, front door lamps, and front foot lamps).When the interior lamp switch is at DOOR position,
the ETACS-ECU controls the interior lamps as fol-
lows:
When a door is opened with the ignition switch
off, the interior lamps up to a luminance of 100
percent. When a door is closed, the interior lamps
dims a luminance of 65 percent, and goes off 30
seconds later. However, if the ignition switch is
turned ON or if a door is locked while the interior
lamps is dimming, the dome lamp will go off at
that point.
When a door is opened with the ignition switch
ON, the interior lamps up at a luminance of 100
percent. When all doors are closed, the interior
lamps go off.
When the ignition key is removed with all doors
closed, the interior lamps up at a luminance of
100 percent, and goes off 30 seconds later. How-
ever, if the ignition key is inserted again or if a
door is locked while the interior lamps is lighting,
the interior lamps will go off at that point.
To check keyless entry operations more easily,
the interior lamps will flash twice when doors are
locked. When doors are unlocked, the interior
lamps up at a luminance of 100 percent, and
goes off 15 seconds later.
INTERIOR LAMP AUTOMATIC
SHUTDOUN FUNCTION
Illuminated interior lamps such as the front dome
lamp, etc. (all lamps using the dome lamp fuse as the
power supply) will automatically go off in the follow-
ing conditions to prevent the battery from discharging
as a result of forgetting to turn off the lamps or
incomplete closing of the door.
When the ignition switch is turned off and more
than 30 minutes pass by with the interior lamp
illuminated, the interior lamps will go off automati-
cally.
When the ignition switch is turned off and one of
the door switches remains open for 30 minutes
continuously, the interior lamps will go off auto-
matically.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-259
Headlamp automatic-shutdown function
Even if the lighting switch (taillamps switch or headlamp switch)
is ON, the headlamps (including the taillamps) will automati-
cally go off in the following conditions to prevent the battery
from discharging as a result of forgetting to turn off lamps.
If the ignition key is turned from "ON" to "LOCK" (OFF) or
"ACC" position with the lighting switch turned ON, and this
state continues for three minutes, the headlamps will automati-
cally be turned off. If the driver's seat door is opened during
these three minutes, the headlamps will go off one second
later.
NOTE: The headlamp automatic-shutoff function can be cus-
tomized on vehicles equipped with a multi center display (mid-
dle grade type). Refer to P.54B-486.
Dimmer automatic reset function
If the headlamp switch is turned off while the high-beam
headlamps are on, the dimmer switch will be reset. Because of
this, the headlamps will illuminate at low beam the next time
that they are turned on. The dimmer switch will be also reset if
the dimmer switch is turned on unintentionally while the pass-
ing switch is operated.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-356
Interior lamp automatic-shutoff function
Illuminated interior lamps such as the front dome
lamp, etc. (all lamps using the dome lamp fuse as the
power supply) will automatically go off in the follow-
ing conditions to prevent the battery from discharging
as a result of forgetting to turn off the lamps or
incomplete closing of the door.
When the ignition switch is turned off and more
than 30 minutes pass with the interior lamp illumi-
nated, the interior lamps will go off automatically.
When the ignition switch is turned off and one of
the door switches remains open for 30 minutes
continuously, the interior lamps will go off auto-
matically.
NOTE: The interior lamp automatic shutoff function
can be customised on vehicles equipped with a multi
center display (middle grade type). Refer to
P.54B-486.
Ignition key hole illumination lamp function
The ignition key hole illumination lamp illuminates when the
driver's door is opened with the ignition switch off, and for 30
seconds after the driver's door is closed. It also illuminates for
30 seconds after the ignition key is pulled out. In any case, it
goes out when the ignition switch is turned on.
Door ajar indicator
The combination meter receives the signal sent from the
ETACS-ECU about whether each door is open or closed and
turns the door ajar indicator on and off. While the door ajar indi-
cator is illuminated, the door ajar warning function is activated
and the door ajar indicator flashes 4 times. If the door remains
open even after the 4 warning flashes, the door ajar indicator
will be illuminated again. And when the interior lamp auto-
matic-shutoff function is activated, the door ajar indicator is
extinguished.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION55-3
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM1552000100351
The heater and cooling units are combined in a sin-
gle unit, which, with the mode film damper and flow
rate control valve in the heater unit, reduces ventila-
tion resistance, increases fan power, and decreases
noise.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Wear safety goggles and gloves when servic-
ing the refrigeration system to prevent
severe damage to eyes and hands.
Because R-134a refrigerant is a hydro fluorocarbon
(HFC) which contains hydrogen atoms in place of
chlorine atoms, it will not cause damage to the ozone
layer.
Ozone filters out harmful radiation from the sun. To
assist in protecting the ozone layer, Mitsubishi
Motors Corporation recommends an R-134a refriger-
ant recycling device.
Refrigerant R-134a is transparent and colorless in
both the liquid and vapor state. Since it has a boiling
point of
29.8C (21.64F) at atmospheric pressure,
it will be a vapor at all normal temperatures and pres-
sures. The vapor is heavier than air, non-flammable,
and non-explosive. The following precautions must
be observed when handling R-134a.
Do not heat R-134a above 40C (104.0F) or it
may catch fire and explode.
R-134a evaporates so rapidly at normal atmospheric
pressures and temperatures that it tends to freeze
anything it contacts. For this reason, extreme care
must be taken to prevent any liquid refrigerant from
contacting the skin and especially the eyes. Always
wear safety goggles when servicing the refrigeration
part of the A/C system. Keep a bottle of sterile min-
eral oil handy when working on the refrigeration sys-
tem.1. If any liquid refrigerant gets into your eyes, use a
few drops of mineral oil to wash them out. R-134a
is rapidly absorbed by the oil.
2. Next, splash your eyes with plenty of cold water.
3. Call your doctor immediately even if irritation has
ceased.
Keep R-134a containers upright when charging
the system.
In most instances, moderate heat is required to bring
the pressure of the refrigerant in its container above
the pressure of the system when charging or adding
refrigerant.
A bucket or large pan of hot water not over 40
C
(104.0
F) is all the heat required for this purpose. Do
not heat the refrigerant container with a blow torch or
any other means that would raise temperature and
pressure above this temperature. Do not weld or
steam-clean on or near the system components or
refrigerant lines.
A leak detector for R-134a should be used to
check for refrigerant gas leaks.
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to touch bright
metal or it will be stained.
When metering R-134a into the refrigeration system,
keep the supply tank or cans in an upright position. If
the refrigerant container is on its side or upside
down, liquid refrigerant will enter the system and
damage the compressor.
Refrigerant will tarnish bright metal and chrome sur-
faces, and in combination with moisture can severely
corrode all metal surfaces. ITEM SPECIFICATION

Using the refrigerant recovery and recycling unit, refill the
refrigerant.
NOTE: Refer to the Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Unit’s
Instruction Manual for operation of the unit.
DISCHARGING SYSTEM
Use the refrigerant recovery unit to discharge refrigerant gas
from the system.
NOTE: Refer to the Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Unit’s
Instruction Manual for operation of the unit.
REFILLING OF OIL IN THE A/C SYSTEM
Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor lubrication and
cause a compressor failure. Too much oil will increase dis-
charge air temperature.
When a compressor is installed at the factory, it contains 140
ml of refrigerant oil. While the A/C system is in operation, the oil
is carried through the entire system by the refrigerant. Some of
this oil will be trapped and retained in various parts of the sys-
tem.
When the following system components are changed, it is nec-
essary to add oil to the system to replace the oil being removed
with the component.
Compressor oil: ND Oil 8
Quantity:
Evaporator: 40 ml
Condenser: 40 ml
