BATTERY CABLES, WIRES AND CONNECTORS
Page 732 of 1333
Light comes on with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
as a bulb check, but should go out shortly after engine is started. If
light remains on or comes on while driving, it indicates low oil
pressure and possible system malfunction. Have the system checked and
serviced immediately. Do not operate vehicle until cause is located
and corrected.
ALTERNATOR WARNING LIGHT
Light comes on with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
as a bulb check and goes out after engine is started. If light remains
on or comes on while driving, it indicates possible fault in the
electrical charging system. The alternator belt may be loose or
broken. Have the system checked and serviced promptly. Do not drive
vehicle if alternator belt is loose or broken.
"BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT
Light comes on with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
as a bulb check and goes out after engine is started. Light will also
come on with the parking brake fully or partially engaged. If light
remains on or comes on at any other time, it indicates low brake fluid
level in the master cylinder reservoir or the parking brake switch may
be damaged. Have the system checked and serviced immediately if brake
fluid level is low. Do not continue driving if further trouble is
experienced.
"CHECK ENGINE" WARNING LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Light is designed to come on briefly with the ignition switch
in the "ON" position as a bulb check. If light remains on or comes on
while driving, it indicates fault in an exhaust gas related component
and the system is not functioning properly. Have the system checked
and serviced as soon as possible.
"MAINTENANCE REQUIRED" WARNING LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Light comes on at 50,000 miles, 80,000 miles, 100,000 miles
and 120,000 miles (150,000 miles on 1990-91 models) as a service
reminder that it is time for the periodic maintenance of the emission
control system. Have the system inspected and serviced as necessary
when light comes on. Continued operation of vehicle without having
system serviced after warning light comes on may adversely affect
proper performance of the emission control system. Reset warning
light, after the system has been checked, by pushing the reset switch
in front of the combination meter. Remove the warning light bulb after
the last maintenance service at 120,000 miles (150,000 miles on 1990-
91 models).
"A/T TEMPERATURE" WARNING LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Light comes on when the automatic transmission fluid
temperature becomes abnormally high. If light comes on, reduce engine
speed, stop car and put it in "P" (Park) position. Leave engine
running until light goes out. Normal vehicle operation may be resumed
after light has gone out. If light does not go out, have the system
checked and serviced as necessary.
WHEEL LOCK INDICATOR LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
Light comes on when automatic free-wheeling hubs are locked.
If ignition is turned off, indicator light will not come on when

remains on (light may flash) during vehicle operation, cause of
malfunction must be determined by using DIAGNOSTIC FAULT CHARTS (if
testing with voltmeter) or diagnostic CODE CHARTS (if testing with
DRB-II). If a sensor fails, ECU will use a substitute value in its
calculations to continue engine operation. In this condition, vehicle
is functional, but loss of good driveability may result.
INTERMITTENT FAILURES
Intermittent failures may cause CHECK ENGINE light to flicker
or illuminate and go out after the intermittent fault goes away.
However, the corresponding trouble code will be retained in ECU
memory. If related fault does not reoccur within a certain time frame,
related trouble code will be erased from ECU memory. Intermittent
failures may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring related
problems. See INTERMITTENTS in H - TESTS W/O CODES article.
PRETEST INSPECTION
Before proceeding with diagnosis, the following precautions
must be followed:
* Vehicle must have a fully charged battery and functional
charging system.
* Visually inspect connectors and circuit wiring being worked
on.
* DO NOT disconnect battery or ECU. This will erase any fault
codes stored in ECU.
* DO NOT cause short circuits when performing electrical tests.
This will set additional fault codes, making diagnosis of original
problem more difficult.
* DO NOT use a test light in place of a voltmeter.
* When checking for spark, ensure coil wire is NO more than
1/4" from ground. If coil wire is more than 1/4" from ground,
damage to vehicle electronics and/or ECU may result.
* DO NOT prolong testing of fuel injectors. Engine may
hydrostatically (liquid) lock.
* When a vehicle has multiple fault codes, always repair lowest
number fault code first.
* If DRB-II is being used to diagnose system, always perform
verification test after repairs are made.
ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS (USING VOLTMETER)
1) Before entering on-board diagnostics, refer to PRETEST
INSPECTION in this article. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
Locate self-diagnostic connector. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST CONNECTOR
LOCATION table. Using an analog voltmeter, connect voltmeter positive
lead to self-diagnostic connector terminal No. 1 and negative lead to
terminal No. 12 (ground). See Fig. 6.
2) Turn ignition switch to ON position and disclosure of ECU
memory will begin. If 2 or more systems are non-functional, they are
indicated by order of increasing code number. Indication is made by
12-volt pulses of voltmeter pointer. A constant repetition of short
12-volt pulses indicates system is normal. If system is abnormal,
voltmeter will pulse between zero and 12 volts.
3) Signals will appear on voltmeter as long and short 12-volt
pulses. Long pulses represent tens; short pulses represent ones. For
example 4 long pulses and 3 short pulses indicates Code 43. See

1990-91 ENGINE PERFORMANCE
Chrysler/Mitsubishi Theory & Operation - Fuel Injection
All Models
INTRODUCTION
This article covers basic description and operation of engine
performance-related systems and components. Read this article before
diagnosing vehicles or systems with which you are not completely
familiar.
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
NON-TURBOCHARGED ENGINES
All Chrysler/Mitsubishi engines with Port Fuel Injection
(PFI), called Multi-Point Injection (MPI) by the manufacturer, use t\
he
same basic air induction system. Remote air filter (with airflow
sensor) is ducted to a plenum-mounted throttle body.
TURBOCHARGED ENGINES
In addition to basic air induction system used on all other
models, turbocharging system components include turbocharger, air-to-
air intercooler, air by-pass valve, wastegate actuator, wastegate
control solenoid valve and intake ducting.
Wastegate Control Solenoid Valve
Engine Control Unit (ECU) energizes solenoid valve,
controlling leakage rate of turbocharger pressure to wastegate
actuator.
COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS
Multi-Point Injection (MPI) is a computerized engine control
system which controls fuel injection, ignition timing, idle speed and
emission control systems.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)
NOTE: Components are grouped into 2 categories. The first category
covers INPUT DEVICES, which control or produce voltage
signals monitored by the Engine Control Unit (ECU). The
second category covers OUTPUT SIGNALS, which are components
controlled by the ECU.
ECU receives and processes signals from input devices. Such
operating conditions as cold starting, altitude, acceleration and
deceleration affect input device signals. Based upon signals received,
ECU sends signals to various components which control fuel injection,
ignition timing, idle speed and emission control systems.
INPUT DEVICES
Vehicles are equipped with different combinations of input
devices. Not all input devices are used on all models. To determine
