ENGINE – Front Case, Counterbalance Shaft and Oil Pan11-56
(2) Secure the oil pump driven gear onto the left
counterbalance shaft by tightening the flange bolt to
specified torque.
KPLUG INSTALLATION
(1) Install a new O-ring to the groove of the front case.
(2) Install the plug to the front case.
(3) Fit the special tool MD998162 on the plug, and then
hold it in position with special tool MD998783.
(4) Tighten the plug to the specified torque.
(5) Remove the special tools MD998783 and MD998162.
LOIL PAN INSTALLATION
(1) Clean both mating surfaces of oil pan and cylinder block.
(2) Apply a 4 mm wide bead of sealant to the entire
circumference of the oil pan flange.
Specified sealant:
Mitsubishi Genuine Part No. MD970389 or
equivalent
NOTE
1. Be sure to install the oil pan quickly while the sealant
is wet (within 15 minutes).
2. After installation, keep the sealed area away from
the oil and coolant for approx. one hour.
(3) Note the difference in bolt lengths at the location shown.

Service Points.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
ENGINE WARNING LAMP (CHECK ENGINE LAMP)
If an abnormality occurs in any of the following items related
to the Multipoint Fuel Injection (MPI) system, the engine
warning lamp will illuminate.
If the lamp remains illuminated or if the lamp illuminates while
the engine is running, check the diagnosis code output.

METHOD OF READING AND ERASING DIAGNOSIS
CODES
Refer to GROUP 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points.
INSPECTION USING MUT-II DATA LIST AND
ACTUATOR TESTING
1. Carry out inspection by connecting the MUT-II.
If there is an abnormality, check and repair the chassis
harnesses and components.
2. After repairing, check that the abnormal input and output
have returned to normal as a result of the repairs.
3. Erase the diagnosis code memory.
4. Remove the MUT-II and carry out a road test to confirm
that the problem has disappeared.
