WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
(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 and passenger (from rendering the SRS inoperative).
(2) The SRS components and seat belt with pretensioner should not be subjected to heat, so
remove the SRS-ECU, driver’s and front passenger’s air bag modules, clock spring, side air bag
modules, and seat belt -pre-tensioner before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.
• SRS-ECU, air bag module and clock spring 93°C or more
• Seat belt with pre-tensioner: 90°C or more
(3) Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed
only at an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(4) 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.
NOTE
Section titles with asterisks (*) in the table of contents in each group indicate operations requiring warnings.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
ENGINE COOLANT LEAK CHECKM1141001000300
WARNING
When pressure testing the cooling system,
slowly release cooling system pressure to
avoid getting burned by hot coolant.
CAUTION
•Be sure to completely clean away any
moisture from the places checked.
•When the tester is taken out, be careful not to
spill any coolant.
•Be careful when installing and removing the
tester and when testing not to deform the
filler neck of the radiator.
1. Check that the coolant level is up to the filler neck.
Install a radiator tester and apply 160 kPa
pressure, and then check for leakage from the
radiator hose or connections.
2. If there is leakage, repair or replace the
appropriate part.
RADIATOR CAP VALVE OPENING
PRESSURE CHECK
M1141001300389
NOTE: Be sure that the cap is clean before
testing. Rust or other foreign material on the cap
seal will cause an improper reading.
1. Use a cap adapter to attach the cap to the tester.2. Increase the pressure until the indicator of the
gauge stops moving.
Minimum limit: 83 kPa
Standard value: 93 − 123 kPa
3. Replace the radiator cap if the reading does not
remain at or above the limit.
ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENTM1141001200434
WARNING
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 little to let the
pressure escape through the vinyl tube.
After relieving the steam pressure, remove
the cap by slowly turning it
counterclockwise.
1. Drain the water from the radiator, heater core and
engine after unplugging the radiator drain plug
and removing the radiator cap.
2. Drain the water in the water jacket by unplugging
the drain plug of the cylinder block.
3. Remove the radiator condenser tank and drain
the coolant.
4. Drain the coolant then clean the path of the
coolant by injecting water into the radiator from
the radiator cap area.

2. Measure the diameter of the commutator.
Standard value: 29.4 mm
Limit: 28.8 mm
3. Measure the depth of the undercut between
segments.
Standard value: 0.5 mm
Limit: 0.2 mm
BRUSH HOLDER
Push the brush into the brush holder to make sure
that the spring is working on the brush.
If the spring is not working, replace the brush holder.
OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
1. Make sure that the pinion cannot be turned
counterclockwise and can be turned clockwise
freely.
2. Check the pinion for abnormal ware and damage.
BRUSHES
1. Check the commutator contacting surface of each
brush for abnormal roughness. Also check the
height of the brush. Replace the brush holder if
the height is lower than the limit.
Limit: 7.0 mm
2. When the contact surface of the brush is rectified
or the brush holder is replaced, recondition the
contact surface with sandpaper wrapped around
the commutator.
ARMATURE COIL

CAUTION
•Before removing the steering wheel and air bag module assembly, always refer to GROUP 52B -
Service Precautions P.52B-5, Air bag Module and Clock Spring P.52B-210. Also, set the front
wheels so that they are facing straight forward, and remove the ignition key. If you fail to do this,
the SRS clock spring will be damaged, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative and serious
injury.
