SYSTEM TESTING
NOTE: For appropriate wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS.
NOTE: Radiator fan on Montero and Montero Sport is mounted to a
hydraulic fan clutch which is mounted to the water pump.
Replace fan clutch if leaks are detected at case joints and
seals, fan can be rotated with very light resistance or the
bimetallic strip is damaged.
NOTE: Operation of radiator and condenser fans is controlled by
vehicle Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Based on vehicle
Page 282 of 1501
speed, coolant temperature and A/C operation request, PCM
will command low, medium or high speed fan operation.
Diamante
1) If only the radiator fan does not operate, check fusible
link No. 6 located in engine compartment relay box. If only the
condenser fan does not operate, check dedicated fuse No. 16 (20-amp)
located in engine compartment relay box. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair
as necessary.
2) If radiator fan and condenser fan operate in all speeds
except low, check appropriate low speed relay. See COMPONENT TESTS.
See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If low speed relay is okay, check PCM. See
appropriate G - TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.

COMPONENT TESTS
ACTUATOR TEST
Remove actuator. Apply vacuum to actuator. Actuator linkage
holder should move more than 1.38" (35 mm). Actuator diaphragm should
hold vacuum. Replace actuator if actuator does not test as specified.
BRAKELIGHT/STOPLIGHT SWITCH TEST
Disconnect stoplight switch connector C-55. When brake pedal
is pressed, continuity should be present between terminals No. 2 and
3. See Fig. 14. When brake pedal is released, continuity should be
present between terminals No. 1 and 4. Replace switch if it does not
test as specified.
CLOCKSPRING TEST
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.
If clockspring fails any check, replace with a NEW
clockspring.
1) Check connectors and protective tube for damage and
deformities.
2) Visually check case for damage or deformities.

Mitsubishi - Rear Window Defoggers
Diamante, Eclipse, Galant, Mirage, Montero, Montero Sport,
3000GT
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Rear window defogger is a heating filament grid bonded to
inside of window. Rear window defogger is controlled by defogger
switch on instrument panel and a defogger relay.
On Montero, a timer relay controls defogger operation for 9-
11 minutes, then turns defogger off. On Eclipse and Galant, defogger
timer circuit is integral with Electronic Timer Alarm Control System
(ETACS) ECU. Timer will operate defogger for 11 minutes then turn off,\
even with defogger switch in ON position and indicator light
illuminated. On Diamante, timer will operate defogger for 20 minutes,
then turn off.

NOTE: The following information only applies to Eclipse and Galant.
NOTE: Perform INPUT SIGNAL INSPECTION before proceeding with
SYSTEM TESTS. To identify circuit connector terminals, see
WIRING DIAGRAMS .
Communication With All Systems Not Possible (Eclipse &
Galant)
1) Check voltage between ground and Data Link Connector (DLC)\
terminal No. 16 (Red/Black wire on Eclipse or Brown/Red wire on
Galant). See Fig. 1. If battery voltage is present, go to step 3). If
battery voltage is not present, go to next step.
2) Check junction block connectors between DLC and power
supply. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If connectors are okay, check circuit
between power supply and DLC. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair as
necessary.
3) Check continuity between ground and DLC terminals No. 4
and 5. If continuity is present, replace scan tool and retest. If
continuity is not present, check circuit between ground and DLC. See
WIRING DIAGRAMS . Repair as necessary.
Communication With One-Shot Pulse Input Signal Only Is Not
Possible (Eclipse & Galant)
Check circuit between DLC and junction block No. 1. See
WIRING DIAGRAMS . Repair as necessary. If circuit is okay, check
harness connectors to ETACS-ECU, DLC and junction/joint connectors.
Repair as necessary. If connectors are okay, replace ECU.
Defogger Does Not Operate With Defogger Switch ON (Eclipse &
Galant)
1) Check defogger switch input signal. See
INPUT SIGNAL INSPECTION . If switch input signal is okay, check
defogger circuit and relay. See DEFOGGER RELAY TEST under COMPONENT
TESTS. Repair or replace as necessary. If switch input signal is not
okay, go to next step.
2) Check defogger switch. See DEFOGGER SWITCH TEST under
COMPONENT TESTS. Replace as necessary. If defogger switch is okay,
turn ignition on. Check voltage between ground and defogger switch
harness-side connector terminal No. 4 (Eclipse) or terminal No. 2
(Galant). See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If voltage reading is 5 volts (Eclipse)
or battery voltage (Galant), go to next step. If voltage reading is
not as specified, go to step 4).
3) Check joint/junction connectors between switch, instrument
panel cluster and ETACS-ECU. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair as necessary.
If connectors are okay, check circuit between defogger switch and
ground. Repair as necessary. If circuit is okay, replace ECU.
4) Check harness connectors to ETACS-ECU and instrument panel
cluster. Repair as necessary. If connectors are okay, check circuit
between ECU and defogger switch. Repair as necessary.
Defogger Relay Circuit System Check (Eclipse & Galant)
1) Check defogger relay. See DEFOGGER RELAY TEST under
COMPONENT TESTS. Replace as necessary. If relay is okay, go to next
step.
2) Check voltage between ground and relay harness-side
connector terminals No. 3 and 5. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. If battery
voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not
present, go to step 4).
3) Check harness connectors to relay, ETACS-ECU, junction
block and rear wiring/liftgate. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair as
necessary. If connectors are okay, check circuit between defogger
relay and rear defogger, defogger and ground, or defogger relay and
ECU. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Repair as necessary. If circuits are okay,
Page 345 of 1501
replace ECU.
