NOTE: Perform adjustments with engine at normal operating
temperature, cooling fan and accessories off, transmission
in Park or Neutral, and front wheels in straight-ahead
position.

NOTE: Basic idle speed should only be adjusted after verifying
spark plugs, fuel injectors, idle air control motor and
engine compression are okay.
All Other Models
1) Ensure vehicle is at normal operating temperature with all
lights, cooling fan and accessories off. Shift transmission into
Neutral or Park position.
2) Basic idle speed can only be adjusted using a scan tool to
ground Data Link Connector (DLC). Connect scan tool to DLC. DLC is
located below dash, near steering column. See Fig. 2.
3) Start engine and allow it to idle. Using scan tool, select
MFI SYSTEM ACTUATOR TEST, then select item 30. Check basic idle speed.
See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table.
CAUTION: MFI system actuator test must be cancelled or test will
continue to run for 27 minutes. Driving vehicle under this
condition may damage engine.
4) Cancel MFI system actuator test. If idle speed is not
within specification, turn engine speed adjusting screw until correct
engine speed is obtained. See Fig. 6. Access to speed adjusting screw
is obtained by removing rubber plug on throttle body.
5) If idle speed cannot be lowered by turning engine speed
adjusting screw, determine if fixed Speed Adjusting Screw (SAS). Fixed\
SAS is stop screw contacting throttle lever. See
FIXED SPEED ADJUSTING SCREW for procedure.
6) After all adjustments are verified to be correct, possible
cause of incorrect idle speed is deterioration of Idle Air Control
(IAC) circuit. See DTC P0505 in G - TESTS W/CODES article.
CURB (SLOW) IDLE SPEED
NOTE: Curb idle speed is controlled by Idle Air Control (IAC)
motor. Adjustment is usually not necessary. For curb idle
speed specifications, see IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table
under BASIC IDLE SPEED.
1) Check ignition timing and adjust if necessary. See
IGNITION TIMING . Run engine at 2000-3000 RPM for more than 5 seconds.
Allow engine to idle for 2 minutes. Check curb idle speed.
2) If curb idle speed is not within specification, check IAC
system. See DTC P0505 in G - TESTS W/CODES article. If IAC system is
okay, adjust basic idle speed. See BASIC IDLE SPEED.
FIXED SPEED ADJUSTING SCREW
NOTE: Fixed Speed Adjusting Screw (SAS) is preset by manufacturer
and usually does not require adjustment. Only adjust fixed
SAS if other adjustment procedures require it, or if

DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY (CONVENTIONAL)
Pre-Disassembly Inspection
1) Secure differential assembly in appropriate holder. Secure
drive pinion from turning. Mount dial indicator on case and check ring
gear backlash at 4 positions. See Fig. 6. Backlash should be .005-.
007" (.13-.18 mm).
2) Remount dial indicator and measure ring gear runout. See
Fig. 7 . On all models, runout should not exceed .002" (.05 mm).
Remount dial indicator and measure pinion gear backlash on models
without limited slip differential. See Fig. 8. Secure side gear from
turning with wedge. Backlash should be 0-.003" (0-.08 mm). Pinion gear\
backlash service limit is .008" (.20 mm).
3) Check gear tooth contact pattern between ring gear and
drive pinion gear. Apply Prussian Blue to both surfaces of ring gear
teeth. Insert brass rod between differential housing and carrier
assembly to provide resistance while turning drive pinion.
4) Turning resistance of drive pinion should be 28-33 INCH
lbs. (2.5-3.0 N.m). Rotate drive pinion until ring gear completes one
revolution. Reverse direction of rotation and return to original
starting point. Check wear pattern. See GEAR TOOTH CONTACT PATTERNS
article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
5) On Montero models with differential lock, connect air
supply hose with pressure gauge and regulator to actuator air pipe.
Apply 4 psi (.28 kg/cm
) of pressure. Using Adapter Shaft (MB990992),
turn side gear on one side of carrier assembly only. Locking mechanism
should engage. To disengage, release air pressure and turn side gear
1/4-1/2 turn.
6) With lock mechanism engaged, measure turning torque of
drive pinion. Turning torque should not be less than 36 ft. lbs. (50
N.m). With lock mechanism disengaged, turning torque should not be
more than 36 ft. lbs. (50 N.m).

DOOR LOCKS - POWER & KEYLESS ENTRY
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
1998 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT
Mitsubishi - Keyless Entry & Power Door Locks
Montero & 3000GT
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
On 3000GT, power door locks are controlled by driver or
passenger switches which send signals to Electronic Timer Alarm
Control System (ETACS) ECU. ETACS-ECU sends appropriate signals to
individual door lock actuators through individual relays.
The following features are incorporated in power door lock
systems that have an ETACS-ECU:
* Once locked door is closed, system will unlock door if key
remains in ignition switch.
* Continuous switching between lock and unlock of door will
disable system for about one minute.
On Montero, power door lock actuator receives signal from
individual control relay that is operated by a switch incorporated in
actuator. On all models, all door locks are actuated with operation of
one lock.
Montero and 3000GT offer optional keyless entry system. Use
of a 2-button portable remote control operates door locks within a
range of 13 ft. (4 m). Dome light flashes twice when doors are locked
and illuminates for 3 seconds when doors are unlocked. If, after 30
seconds, door(s) have not been opened when unlocked with keyless entry\
system, doors will relock.

TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Transmitter programming should be performed only after
verifying that door lock operates normally using key.
NOTE: Ensure ignition is off when connecting or disconnecting scan
tool.
Using Scan Tool (Montero & 3000GT)
1) Connect scan tool to DLC. Close all doors. Turn ignition
switch to ACC position, then to OFF position. Press desired
transmitter switches (secret code), then press twice within 10 seconds\
to register code.
2) Lock and unlock door once. If there are 2 transmitters,
program the first, then the second transmitter using the same
procedure within one minute. After completing the second programming,
lock and unlock door once.
3) Programming mode is finalized when programming of second
transmitter secret code is complete, one minute after setting secret
code, when scan tool is disconnected, when ignition is turned on or
when any door is opened.
Without Scan Tool (Montero)
1) Move code registration switch on RKE control unit to SET I
position. Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on transmitter. Move code
registration switch on control unit to FIX position.
2) Confirm that keyless entry system operates normally. If
system does not operate normally, repeat step 1). If 2 transmitters
are used, register code on SET II position on RKE control unit and set
in same manner as the first transmitter.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
POWER DOOR LOCK INOPERATIVE
Operate door lock(s) with ignition switch in OFF position. If\
door lock(s) do not operate, check for following possible causes:
* Burned fuse, circuit breaker or fusible link caused by short
to body ground.
* Wire connector, or pin inside connector, disengaged at any
connector or component in system.
* Defective ETACS-ECU (if equipped).
* Defective door lock switch, relay or actuator.
* Subfreezing weather conditions, mechanical failure, or
corroded or misaligned assemblies.
KEY REMINDER SYSTEM INOPERATIVE (ETACS-ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEM)
With key inserted in ignition switch, lock driver's or
passenger's door and close door. If door locks do not unlock, check
for following possible causes:
* Defective key reminder switch or no input signal to
ETACS-ECU.
* Defective front door switch or no input signal to ETACS-ECU.
* Defective vehicle speed sensor or no input signal to
ETACS-ECU.
INPUT SIGNAL

Scan Tool Method (3000GT)
Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool to DLC. Follow scan tool
manufacturer's instructions. Turn ignition on. Perform ON/OFF
operation of each door lock or power window switch. If scan tool
buzzer sounds once, ECU input signal to corresponding switch circuit
is normal.
Voltmeter Method (3000GT)
Using Diagnostic Trouble Code Check Harness (MB991529),
connect harness to DLC terminals No. 4 and 5. Connect voltmeter to
harness. Turn ignition on. Perform ON/OFF operation of each door lock
or power window switch. If voltmeter pointer moves once, ECU input
signal from corresponding switch circuit is normal.
COMPONENT TESTS
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *

functioning properly, substitute with a known-good ETACS-ECU
and retest.
