SUN ROOF - POWER
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
1998 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT
Mitsubishi - Power Sun Roofs
Eclipse, Galant, Montero, Montero Sport, 3000GT
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Sun roof is actuated by an overhead console-mounted switch.
Sun roof motor, located near switch, moves sun roof panel by means of
drive cables. If necessary, sun roof can be closed manually using
manual closure wrench stored in vehicle's tool pouch.
On vehicles equipped with Electronic Timer Alarm Control
System (ETACS) ECU, sun roof can be operated up to 30 seconds after
ignition switch is turned to OFF position.
Sun roof motor incorporates a safety feature that initially
limits opening or closing of roof glass panel. Sun roof will not fully
close from fully open position without first releasing and then
depressing slide switch during operation. Sun roof initially stops
about 8" short of fully closed position.

THE TWO TYPES OF INJECTOR DRIVERS
OVERVIEW
There are two types of transistor driver circuits used to
operate electric fuel injectors: voltage controlled and current
controlled. The voltage controlled type is sometimes called a
"saturated switch" driver, while the current controlled type is
sometimes known as a "peak and hold" driver.
The basic difference between the two is the total resistance
of the injector circuit. Roughly speaking, if a particular leg in an
injector circuit has total resistance of 12 or more ohms, a voltage
control driver is used. If less than 12 ohms, a current control driver
is used.
It is a question of what is going to do the job of limiting
the current flow in the injector circuit; the inherent "high"
resistance in the injector circuit, or the transistor driver. Without
some form of control, the current flow through the injector would
cause the solenoid coil to overheat and result in a damaged injector.
VOLTAGE CONTROLLED CIRCUIT ("SATURATED SWITCH")
The voltage controlled driver inside the computer operates
much like a simple switch because it does not need to worry about
limiting current flow. Recall, this driver typically requires injector
circuits with a total leg resistance of 12 or more ohms.
The driver is either ON, closing/completing the circuit
(eliminating the voltage-drop), or OFF, opening the circuit (causing \
a
total voltage drop).
Some manufacturers call it a "saturated switch" driver. This
is because when switched ON, the driver allows the magnetic field in
the injector to build to saturation. This is the same "saturation"
property that you are familiar with for an ignition coil.
There are two ways "high" resistance can be built into an
injector circuit to limit current flow. One method uses an external
solenoid resistor and a low resistance injector, while the other uses
a high resistance injector without the solenoid resistor. See the left
side of Fig. 1.
In terms of injection opening time, the external resistor
voltage controlled circuit is somewhat faster than the voltage
controlled high resistance injector circuit. The trend, however, seems
to be moving toward use of this latter type of circuit due to its
lower cost and reliability. The ECU can compensate for slower opening

NOTE: On Diamante, assist-ECU controls wiper circuit. On all
models except 3000GT, intermittent wiper relay is
incorporated into wiper switch. Information on testing is
not available from manufacturer at time of publication.
Continuity & Voltage Check (3000GT)
1) Disconnect column switch connector. Ensure continuity is
present between terminals No. 5 and 11, and between terminals No. 6
and 10. See Fig. 3. Ensure there is no continuity between terminals
No. 6 and 11.
2) Connect battery voltage to relay terminal No. 5 and ground
terminal No. 11. Battery voltage should be present on terminal No. 6.
Replace relay if continuity and voltage is not as specified.
