1998 ENGINE PERFORMANCE
Mitsubishi - System & Component Testing
Diamante, Eclipse, Galant, Mirage, Montero, Montero Sport,
3000GT
INTRODUCTION
NOTE: Testing individual components does not isolate shorts or
opens. Perform all voltage tests using a Digital
Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with minimum 10-megohm input impedance,
unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use ohmmeter to
isolate wiring harness shorts or opens. Testing procedures
not covered in this article require a scan tool. See
G - TESTS W/CODES article.
Before testing separate components or systems, perform basic
diagnostic procedures in F - BASIC TESTING article. Since many
computer-controlled and monitored components set a diagnostic trouble
code if they malfunction, also perform self-diagnostics in G - TESTS
W/CODES article.
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEMS
TURBOCHARGER
Turbocharger Pressure Check
1) Disconnect Black turbocharger pressure control hose at
wastegate solenoid valve, and plug valve nipple. Attach pressure gauge
to hose. Drive vehicle and accelerate engine, in 2nd gear, to 3500 RPM
or more. Check turbocharger pressure when pressure gauge stabilizes.
See TURBOCHARGER PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS table.
2) If pressure gauge reading is more than specified, check
wastegate actuator. See DTCs P1103 and P1104 in G - TESTS W/CODES
article. Replace wastegate actuator as required. If pressure gauge
reading is less than specified, check for malfunctioning wastegate
valve, turbocharger pressure leaks and faulty turbocharger.

Air By-Pass Valve
Remove air by-pass valve. Valve is mounted to intake air duct
between air-to-air intercooler and intake plenum. Apply vacuum to
diaphragm of vacuum valve. Valve should begin opening at approximately
16 in. Hg. Observe operation of valve through by-pass opening.
Wastegate Actuator Test
Actuator is mounted on turbocharger. For testing procedures,
see DTCs P1103 and P1104 in G - TESTS W/CODES article.
Wastegate Control Solenoid Valve Test
On Eclipse, valve is mounted to top back section of air
cleaner. On 3000GT, valve is mounted to firewall, beside EGR solenoid.

COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS
CONTROL UNIT
NOTE: For Powertrain Control Module (PCM) location, see
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) LOCATION table. To identify
PCM power and ground terminals, see appropriate pin voltage
chart in J - PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS article. To identify PCM
power and ground circuits, see appropriate wiring diagram in
L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
Ground Circuits
1) Turn ignition off. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity
between chassis ground and PCM ground terminal(s). See Figs. 1-5.
Ohmmeter should indicate zero ohms. If reading is not as specified,
check and repair open circuit between PCM connector and chassis
ground. If reading is as specified, go to next step.
2) Connect voltmeter negative lead to chassis ground. Connect
positive lead to PCM ground terminal(s). With engine running,
voltmeter should indicate less than one volt. If reading is more than
one volt, check for open, corrosion or loose connection in ground
circuit.
Power Circuits
Turn ignition on. Check for battery voltage on both PCM power
terminals. See Figs. 1-5. If battery voltage is not present, check
operation of MFI relay. See RELAYS under MOTORS, RELAYS & SOLENOIDS.

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
WARNING: Deactivate air bag system before performing any service
operation. See AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article. Do not
apply electrical power to any component on steering column
without first deactivating air bag system. Air bag may
deploy.
Instrument cluster includes speedometer, fuel gauge and
temperature gauge. Fuel gauge has a built-in voltage limiter to keep
voltage supply to gauges at 7 volts. Some models may also have an
ammeter, oil pressure gauge, tachometer, voltmeter and/or turbo boost
pressure gauge. Oil pressure gauge uses full battery voltage.
Tachometer operates by pulse feed.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
FUEL/TEMPERATURE GAUGE NOT WORKING
Check for blown fuse, faulty voltage limiter and faulty
relay. Ensure sending unit connections are clean and tight. Test
sending unit for correct operation. Tighten connections in instrument
cluster.
SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING
On mechanical-type speedometers, ensure speedometer cable is
properly connected and correctly routed. If speedometer pointer and/or
odometer still do not work, replace speedometer cable or speedometer
assembly.
On electric-type speedometers, check for faulty vehicle speed
sensor, input/output sensors or faulty circuit. For testing, see
Page 834 of 1501
Eclipse 2.0L Non-Turbo With A/T
Disconnect sensor harness connector. Check resistance between
sensor terminals. Resistance should be 300-1200 ohms. Replace sensor
as necessary.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
Circuit Test (Eclipse, Montero & 3000GT)
1) Disconnect oil pressure gauge wiring connector from
sending unit inside engine compartment. Connect a 12-volt test light
between harness connector terminal and ground. Turn ignition on, but
DO NOT start engine.
2) If test light comes on and gauge needle moves, go to GAUGE
RESISTANCE TEST. If test light does not come on and gauge needle does
not move, repair wiring to sending unit.
Gauge Resistance Test (Eclipse, Montero & 3000GT)
1) Remove instrument cluster from instrument panel. See
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. On 3000GT, remove air
distribution duct and combination gauges.
2) On all models, check continuity between oil pressure gauge
terminals. See Fig. 17, 18 or 19. See

unit. Turn ignition on. Check voltage between ground and sending unit
harness-side connector. If battery voltage is present, problem is
intermittent. If battery voltage is not present, go to next step.
2) Check sending unit harness connector. Repair as necessary.
If connector is okay, check circuit (Yellow wire) between oil pressure\
gauge and oil pressure sending unit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair as
necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
3) Remove multi-meter assembly. Check voltage between ground
and harness-side connector terminal No. 10 (Red/Black wire). See
WIRING DIAGRAMS . If battery voltage is present, problem is
intermittent. If battery voltage is not present, go to next step.
4) Check harness connector to multi-meter assembly. Repair as
necessary. If connector is okay, check circuit between multi-meter
harness connector and fusible link No. 6. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair
as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
5) Turn ignition on. Check voltage between ground and multi-
meter harness-side connector terminal No. 11 (Black/White wire). See
WIRING DIAGRAMS . If battery voltage is present, problem is
intermittent. If battery voltage is not present, go to next step.
6) Check harness connector to multi-meter assembly. Repair as
necessary. If connector is okay, check circuit between multi-meter
assembly harness connector and ignition switch. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
Repair as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
7) Turn ignition off. Check continuity between ground and
multi-meter assembly harness-side connector terminal No. 3 (Black
wire). If continuity is present, problem is intermittent. If
continuity is not present, go to next step.
8) Check harness connector to multi-meter assembly. Repair as
necessary. If connector is okay, check circuit (Black wire) between
multi-meter assembly harness connector and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS
. Repair as necessary. If circuit is okay, problem is intermittent.
Gauge Sending Unit Resistance Test (Montero Sport)
Disconnect harness connector to oil pressure sending unit.
Start and idle engine. Check resistance between oil pressure gauge
sending unit terminal and engine block. Resistance should be about 2
ohms. Replace sending unit if resistance is not as specified.
REED SWITCH
Continuity Check (Montero)
1) Remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check continuity between reed switch terminals
No. 1 and 2. See Fig. 20.
2) Ensure continuity pulses on and off 4 times per revolution
of speedometer shaft connection. If continuity is not as specified,
replace reed switch.
