MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship
between the consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce
materials that give motorists the information and encouragement to
take greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt
(1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and (2) the Motorist
Assurance Program Standards of Service. All participating service
providers have agreed to subscribe to this Pledge and to adhere to the
promulgated Standards of Service demonstrating to their customers that
they are serious about customer satisfaction.
These Standards of Service require that an inspection of the
vehicle's (problem) system be made and the results communicated to the\
customer according to industry standards. Given that the industry did
not have such standards, the Motorist Assurance Program successfully
promulgated industry inspection communication standards in 1994-95 for
the following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical Systems.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection communication standards

1991 ENGINE COOLING
Mitsubishi Engine Cooling Fans
Mitsubishi: Eclipse, Galant, Mirage,
Montero, Pickup, Precis, 3000GT
ELECTRIC COOLING FAN - COMPONENT TESTING
MOTOR
Disconnect electric cooling fan motor at junction. Using 2
jumper wires, ground one lead and apply battery voltage to other. Fan
should rotate. If fan does not rotate, replace motor.
RADIATOR FAN SWITCH
Using an ohmmeter, check switch continuity in hot water.
Switch should be open at less than 180 F (82 C) and continuity should
exist at more than 185 F (85 C). Replace radiator fan switch if it
does not test as specified.
ELECTRIC COOLING FAN RELAY
1) Remove relay from relay box in front of right suspension
tower. Using jumper wires, connect battery to indicated terminals.
2) On 3000GT, continuity should exist between terminals No. 1
and 3. With battery disconnected, continuity should exist between
terminals No. 2 and 4 and should not exist between terminals No. 1 and
3.
3) On all other models, continuity should exist between
terminals No. 3 and 4. With battery disconnected, continuity should
exist between terminals No. 1 and 2 and should not exist between
terminals No. 3 and 4. Replace relay if it does not test as specified.

ELECTRIC COOLING FAN - SYSTEM TESTING
MIRAGE 1.5L
1) With A/C on LOW position, ignition on and engine coolant
temperature greater than 185 F (85 C), thermosensor completes path to
ground, closing radiator fan motor relay contacts and providing
current to radiator fan motor. See Fig. 1.
2) With A/C on HIGH position and ignition on, power supply
from automatic compressor control unit causes condenser fan motor
relay and condenser fan motor control relay to turn on, causing
condenser fan and radiator cooling fan to operate.
Page 426 of 1333
MIRAGE 1.6L
1) With A/C on LOW position, ignition on and engine coolant
temperature greater than 185 F (85 C), thermosensor completes path to
ground, closing radiator fan motor relay contacts and providing
current to radiator fan motor. See Fig. 2.
2) With A/C on HIGH position and ignition on, power supply
from auto compressor control unit causes condenser fan motor relay to
turn on, causing condenser fan and radiator cooling fan to operate at
a low speed by usage of a resistor.
3) If pressure switch is activated by excessive pressure or
if thermosensor is on when engine coolant temperature exceeds 185
F
(85 C), condenser fan motor control relay is activated, causing
condenser fan and radiator cooling fan to operate at a high speed.
ECLIPSE & 3000GT
With ignition on and engine coolant temperature greater than
185 F (85 C), thermosensor completes path to ground, closing radiator
fan motor relay contacts and providing current to radiator fan. See
Figs. 7 -11.
