ENGINE COOLING -GeneralInformation/
Service Specifications/Lubricant/Sealant14-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
The cooling system is designed to keep every part
of the engine at appropriate temperature in
whatever condition the engine may be operated.
The cooling method is of the water-cooled, pressure
forced circulation type in which the water pump
pressurizes coolant and circulates it throughout the
engine. If the coolant temperature exceeds the
prescribed temperature, the thermostat opens to
circulate the coolant through the radiator as well
so that the heat absorbed by the coolant may be
radiated into the air.The water pump is of the centrifugal type and is
driven by the drive belt from the crankshaft.
The radiator is the corrugated fin, down flow type.
The cooling fan is controlled by the radiator fan
controller and engine-ECU depend on driving
conditions.

(Refer to GROUP 51 - Front Bumper.)
9. Install the reserve tank.
10. Slowly pour the engine coolant into the mouth of the
radiator until the radiator is full, and pour also into the
reserve tank up to the FULL line.
Recommended anti-freeze:
MITUBISHI GENUINE COOLANT or equivalent
Quantity: 6.0 L
Caution
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 the corrosion of the aluminium components.
11. Install the radiator cap securely.
12. Start the engine and warm the engine until the thermostat
opens. (Touch the radiator hose with your hand to check
that warm water is flowing.)
13. After the thermostat opens, race the engine several times,
and then stop the engine.
14. Cool down the engine, and then pour engine coolant into
the reserve tank until the level reaches the FULL line. If
the level is low, repeat the operation from step 11.
CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENT
Measure the temperature and specific gravity of the engine
coolant to check the antifreeze concentration.
Standard value: 30 - 60 % (allowable concentration range)
RECOMMENDED ANTI-FREEZE
AntifreezeAllowable concentration
MITSUBISHI GENUINE COOLANT
or equivalent30 - 60 %
Caution
If the concentration of the anti-freeze is below 30 %, the
anti-corrosion property will be adversely affected. In
addition, if the concentration is above 60 %, both the
anti-freezing and engine cooling properties will decrease,
affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be
sure to maintain the concentration level within the
specified range.

This test determines whether the wiring from the
alternator “B” terminal to the battery (+) terminal
(including the fusible line) is in a good condition
or not.
(1) Always be sure to check the following before
the test.
DAlternator installation
DAlternator drive belt tension
(Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.)
DFusible link
DAbnormal noise from the alternator while
the engine is running
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF)
position.
(3) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(4) Disconnect the alternator output wire from the
alternator “B” terminal and connect a DC test
ammeter with a range of 0 - 100 A in seriesbetween the “B” terminal and the disconnected
output wire. (Connect the (+) lead of the
ammeter to the “B” terminal, and then connect
the ( - ) lead of the ammeter to the disconnected
output wire.)
NOTE
An inductive-type ammeter which enables
measurements to be taken without
disconnecting the alternator output wire should
be recommended. Using this equipment will
lessen the possibility of a voltage drop caused
by a loose “B” terminal connection.
(5) Connect a digital-type voltmeter between the
alternator “B” terminal and the battery (+)
terminal. (Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter
to the “B” terminal and the connect the ( - ) lead
of the voltmeter to the battery (+) cable.)

ENGINE ELECTRICAL -Charging System16-6
This test determines whether the alternator output
current is normal.
(1) Before the test, always be sure to check the
following.
DAlternator installation
DBattery (Refer to GROUP 54 - Battery.)
NOTE
The battery should be slightly discharged.
The load needed by a fully-charged battery
is insufficient for an accurate test.
DAlternator drive belt tension
(Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.)
DFusible link
DAbnormal noise from the alternator while
the engine is running.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF)
position.
(3) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(4) Disconnect the alternator output wire from the
alternator “B” terminal. Connect a DC test
ammeter with a range of 0 - 100 A in series
between the “B” terminal and the disconnected
output wire. (Connect the (+) lead of the
ammeter to the “B” terminal. Connect the ( - )
lead of the ammeter to the disconnected output
wire.)
Caution
Never use clips but tighten bolts and nuts
to connect the line. Otherwise loose
connections (e.g. using clips) will lead to
a serious accident because of high current.
NOTE
An inductive-type ammeter which enables
measurements to be taken without
disconnecting the alternator output wire should
be recommended.
(5) Connect a voltmeter with a range of 0 - 20 V
between the alternator “B” terminal and the
earth. (Connect the (+) lead of the voltmeter
to the “B” terminal, and then connect the ( - )
lead of the voltmeter to the earth.)
(6) Connect the negative battery cable.
(7) Connect a tachometer or the MUT-II.
(Refer to GROUP 11 - On-vehicle Service.)
(8) Leave the hood open.
(9) Check that the reading on the voltmeter is equal
to the battery voltage.
NOTE
If the voltage is 0 V, the cause is probably
an open circuit in the wire or fusible link between
the alternator “B” terminal and the battery (+)
terminal.(10)Turn the light switch on to turn on headlamps
and then start the engine.
(11) Immediately after setting the headlamps to high
beam and turning the heater blower switch to
the high revolution position, increase the engine
speed to 2,500 r/min and read the maximum
current output value displayed on the ammeter.
Limit: 70 % of normal current output
NOTE
DFor the nominal current output, refer to the
Alternator Specifications.
DBecause the current from the battery will
soon drop after the engine is started, the
above step should be carried out as quickly
as possible in order to obtain the maximum
current output value.
DThe current output value will depend on
the electrical load and the temperature of
the alternator body.
DIf the electrical load is small while testing,
the specified level of current may not be
output even though the alternator is normal.
In such cases, increase the electrical load
by leaving the headlamps turned on for
some time to discharge the battery or by
using the lighting system in another vehicle,
and then test again.
DThe specified level of current also may not
be output if the temperature of the alternator
body or the ambient temperature is too
high. In such cases, cool the alternator and
then test again.
(12)The reading on the ammeter should be above
the limit value. If the reading is below the limit
value and the alternator output wire is normal,
remove the alternator from the engine and
check the alternator.
(13)Run the engine at idle after the test.
(14)Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF)
position.
(15)Remove the tachometer or the MUT-II.
(16)Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(17)Disconnect the ammeter and voltmeter.
(18)Connect the alternator output wire to the
alternator “B” terminal.

AB"DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
Due to the adoption of the Serpentine drive system with
the auto-tensioner, the following operation is required:
1. Insert the 12.7sq. spinner handle into the tool hole of

the auto-tensioner reaches to the stopper.
2. Align hole A with hole B for fixing by inserting the L-shaped

When the drive belt is reused, use a chalk to
indicate an arrow of rotation direction on the

OVERRUNNING CLUTCH CHECK
1. While holding clutch housing, rotate the pinion. Drive
pinion should rotate smoothly in one direction, but should
not rotate in opposite direction. If clutch does not function
properly, replace overrunning clutch assembly.
2. Inspect pinion for wear or burrs. If pinion is worn or burred,
replace overrunning clutch assembly. If pinion is damaged,
also inspect ring gear for wear or burrs.
FRONT AND REAR BRACKET BUSHING CHECK
Inspect bushing for wear or burrs. If bushing is worn or burred,
replace front bracket assembly or rear bracket assembly.

1. Check the surface contacting the commutator for
roughness and the brush length.
Limit value: 7.0 mm
2. If the limit is exceeded, replace the brush holder.
ARMATURE TEST
ARMATURE COIL SHORT-CIRCUIT TEST
1. Check that the armature coil is not grounded.
2. Place armature in a growler.
3. Hold a thin steel blade parallel and just above while rotating
armature slowly in growler. A shorted armature will cause
blade to vibrate and be attracted to the core. Replace
shorted armature.
