INTRODUCTION TO MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW OF MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM
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
are continually re-published. In addition to these, standards for
Drive Train and Transmissions have recently been promulgated.
Participating shops utilize these Uniform Inspection & Communication
Standards as part of the inspection process and for communicating
their findings to their customers.
The Motorist Assurance Program continues to work
cooperatively and proactively with government agencies and consumer
groups toward solutions that both benefit the customer and are
mutually acceptable to both regulators and industry. We maintain the
belief that industry must retain control over how we conduct our
business, and we must be viewed as part of the solution and not part
of the problem. Meetings with state and other government officials
(and their representatives), concerned with auto repair and/or
consumer protection, are conducted. Feedback from these sessions is
brought back to the association, and the program adjusted as needed.
To assure auto repair customers recourse if they were not

Bleed brake system in following order: right rear, right
front and left front (one circuit handles both rear brakes).
Pickup & Ram-50
Bleed brake system in following order: right rear, left rear,
LSPV, right front and left front.
ADJUSTMENTS
BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT & FREE PLAY
1) Separate connector from stoplight switch, and loosen lock
nut. Position switch so it does not contact brake pedal arm. Adjust
brake pedal height by rotating master cylinder push rod (yoke, if
equipped) until distance from top of brake pedal to floor board is
correct. See BRAKE PEDAL SPECIFICATIONS table.
2) DO NOT depress push rod. Tighten lock nut, and ensure
brake pedal height is within specification. Start engine to evacuate
brake booster chamber. Stop engine, and apply brake several times to
remove vacuum from brake booster.
3) Using hand pressure, depress brake pedal to measure free
play before resistance is felt. If distance is incorrect, bleed the
brake hydraulic system, and check for misadjusted brakes. Refer to the
BRAKE PEDAL SPECIFICATIONS table.

brake pedal to center shoes, and check pedal travel. Rotate brake drum
to verify free movement.
STOPLIGHT SWITCH
Loosen lock nut, and adjust switch-to-pedal arm clearance to
.02-.04" (.5-1.0 mm). Tighten lock nut. DO NOT depress master cylinder
push rod during stoplight switch adjustment.
TESTING
POWER BRAKE UNIT
Check Valve Inspection
Remove vacuum hose from power brake unit. Remove check valve
from hose (if possible). Using a vacuum pump, ensure airflow is in
direction of intake manifold only.
System Check
1) Run engine for 2 minutes, and shut it off. Depress brake
pedal several times with normal pressure. If pedal height gradually
becomes higher with successive applications, power brake unit is okay.
If pedal height remains steady, power brake unit is faulty.
2) With engine stopped, depress brake pedal repeatedly until
it's height no longer falls. Hold brake pedal down, and start engine.
If pedal moves downward slightly, power brake unit is okay. If pedal
height does not change, power brake unit is faulty.
3) With engine running, press and hold brake pedal and shut
off engine. Hold brake pedal for 30 seconds. Brake pedal height should
not change. If pedal height falls, power brake unit is faulty.
LOAD-SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE (LSPV) (PICKUP & RAM-50)
1) Before diagnosing Load-Sensing Proportioning Valve (LSPV)\
,
ensure all other brake components are operating properly. When all
other brake system components are determined to be okay, perform LSPV
test beginning with next step.
2) Ensure unladen vehicle is on level ground. Ensure lever is
not contacting stopper bolt. See Fig. 1.
3) When lever is pushed toward valve, distance from LSPV
lever hole and support hole must be 6.97-7.09 in. (177-180 mm). If
measured distance is not within specification, loosen support bolt.
Adjust support until measured distance is within specification.
4) After measured distance is within specification, connect
pressure gauges to input and output ports of LSPV. See Fig. 4. Bleed
brake system. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM .

1991-92 SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Mitsubishi Cruise Control Systems
Montero
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
The cruise control system is electronically and vacuum
controlled. System components include a control unit, actuator, vacuum
pump, cruise control switch, clutch pedal switch, cruise indicator
light, diode, inhibitor switch (A/T), stoplight switch, vehicle speed
sensor and A/T control unit.
The system has self-diagnostic capability. When
self-diagnostic mode is activated, each switch and sensor is checked
for defects. When cruise control system has been cancelled without
using a normal cancel method, a code will be set and stored in control
unit. Codes can be retrieved to help determine which circuit is
malfunctioning.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Before performing TROUBLE SHOOTING steps, inspect linkage
assembly, actuator, cables and vacuum hoses. Ensure linkage and cables
move smoothly. Ensure cables do not have excessive slack or tension.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: For further trouble shooting information, see CHECK RESULTS
& SYMPTOM CHARTS. See Figs. 11-16.
SYSTEM CANCELS OR WILL NOT RESET AFTER CANCELLATION
1) Check trouble codes, see SELF-DIAGNOSTICS under DIAGNOSIS
& TESTING. If no trouble codes are stored, ensure cruise control can
be set.
2) If cruise control can be set, system may have cancelled
because of driving on steep hills or loose wiring connection. If
cruise control still cannot be set, perform SYSTEM INPUT TESTS under
DIAGNOSIS & TESTING.
3) On 1991 models, if SYSTEM INPUT TESTS check okay, check
actuator circuit. See TEST NO. 5 under CIRCUIT TESTS (1991). On 1992
models, if SYSTEM INPUT TESTS check okay, check vacuum pump circuit.
See TEST NO. 6 under CIRCUIT TESTS (1992). On all models, if SYSTEM
INPUT TESTS do not check okay, see INPUT CODE CHART. See Fig. 9 or 10.
ADJUSTMENTS
CRUISE CONTROL CABLE
1991
1) Ensure cruise control and accelerator cables are free of
bends and folds. Remove actuator cover. Loosen lock nuts and adjusting
nuts to free cables. Adjust accelerator cable "A" to correct
dimension. See Fig. 1 or 2.
2) Tighten lock nuts. Loosen adjustment bolts on intake air
plenum. Adjust plate so that inner cable free play is .04-.08" (1-2
Page 229 of 1333
CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH FUNCTION TEST
NOTE: If vehicle speed decreases approximately 9 MPH below set
speed, set speed will be cancelled.
1) Cruise control switch is part of multifunction switch
mounted on steering column. To operate cruise control system, turn
ignition on. Turn cruise control switch to ON position. Ensure switch
indicator light comes on.
NOTE: Speed will not set beyond system limit of 90 MPH.
2) With cruise control switch in ON position, drive vehicle
between 25 and 90 MPH. Press and release SET button. Vehicle speed
should stay at set speed. Instrument cluster cruise indicator light
should come on. To increase set speed, turn control switch to RESUME
position and hold until new set speed is reached.
3) To lower set speed, press SET button and hold until new
set speed is reached. To return to set speed after cancellation, move
resume switch from ON to OFF position. Vehicle speed should return to
previous setting before cancellation. Set speed should cancel when any
of the following occurs:
* Brake pedal is pressed.
* Clutch pedal is pressed.
* Transmission is shifted to Neutral or Park.
* Cruise control main switch is turned off.
* Ignition switch is turned off.
SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
1) Self-diagnostics should be performed when cruise control
cancels without the driver using normal cancel modes. Diagnosis
connector is located on right side of fuse box. Use analog voltmeter
or Multi-Use Tester (MB991341) for code retrieval.
2) Use multi-use tester according to operating instructions
provided with tester. Connect leads of analog voltmeter between cruise
control terminal and ground terminal of self-diagnostic connector. See
Fig. 6 . Read voltmeter needle sweeps to determine trouble code.
NOTE: On 1991 models, codes No. 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 will be
displayed whether malfunction is present or not.
3) Once trouble codes have been displayed, see SELF-
DIAGNOSTIC CODE CHART to determine appropriate CIRCUIT TEST. See
Fig. 7 or 8.
4) To clear trouble codes, either disconnect battery cable or
turn ignition on. Turn main cruise control switch and set switch to ON
position. Within one second turn resume switch to ON position.
5) Hold stoplight switch and cruise control switch in ON
position for more than 5 seconds. Verify codes are cleared.
