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
satisfied with a repair transaction, the Motorist Assurance Program
offers mediation and arbitration through MAP/BBB-CARE and other non-
profit organizations. MAP conducted pilot programs in twelve states
before announcing the program nationally in October, 1998. During the
pilots, participating repair shops demonstrated their adherence to the
Pledge and Standards and agreed to follow the UICS in communicating
the results of their inspection to their customers. To put some
"teeth" in the program, an accreditation requirement for shops was
initiated. The requirements are stringent, and a self-policing method
has been incorporated which includes the "mystery shopping" of
outlets.
We welcome you to join us as we continue our outreach... with
your support, both the automotive repair industry and your customers
will reap the benefits. Please visit MAP at our Internet site www.

MAP UNIFORM INSPECTION GENERAL GUIDELINES
OVERVIEW OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
It is MAP policy that all exhaust, brake, steering,
suspension, wheel alignment, drive-line, engine performance and
maintenance, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and
electrical services be offered and performed under the standards and
procedures specified in these sections.
Before any service is performed on a vehicle, an inspection
of the appropriate system must be performed. The results of this
inspection must be explained to the customer and documented on an
inspection form. The condition of the vehicle and its components will
indicate what services/part replacements may be "Required" or
"Suggested". In addition, suggestions may be made to satisfy the
requests expressed by the customer.
When a component is suggested or required to be repaired or
replaced, the decision to repair or replace must be made in the
customer's best interest, and at his or her choice given the options
available.
This section lists the various parts and conditions that
indicate a required or suggested service or part replacement.
Although this list is extensive, it is not fully inclusive. In
addition to this list, a technician may make a suggestion. However,
any suggestions must be based on substantial and informed experience,
or the vehicle manufacturer's recommended service interval and must be
documented.
Some conditions indicate that service or part replacement is

Power Transistor (Eclipse 2.0L Turbo & 2.4L)
1) To test the section of the power transistor that controls
cylinders No. 1 and 4, disconnect power transistor connector. Using a
1.5-volt dry cell battery, connect negative end of battery to terminal
No. 3 of power transistor and positive end to terminal No. 7. See
Fig. 4 .

2) Using an analog ohmmeter, check for continuity between
terminals No. 3 and 8 of power transistor. Continuity should exist.
With positive end of 1.5-volt battery disconnected, there should be no
continuity. Replace power transistor if it fails test.

cylinders No. 2 and 3, connect negative end of 1.5-volt dry cell
battery to terminal No. 3 of power transistor and positive end to
terminal No. 2.
4) Using an analog ohmmeter, check for continuity between
terminals No. 1 and 3 of power transistor. Continuity should exist.
With positive end of 1.5-volt battery disconnected, there should be no
continuity. Replace power transistor if it fails test.

DISTRIBUTORLESS IGNITION SYSTEM (DIS - V6)
Ignition Coil Resistance
1) On 3000GT DOHC, go to next step. On Montero and Montero
Sport, use DVOM to measure primary coil resistance between each
individual coil. To check secondary coil resistance, measure
resistance between towers of each individual coil. Replace coil if
primary and secondary coil resistances are not within specification.
See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE (V6) table.
2) Using DVOM, measure primary coil resistance between
terminal No. 3 (power terminal) and each individual coil terminal. See\
Fig. 6 . Terminal No. 1 controls coil "B", terminal No. 2 controls coil
"A", and terminal No. 4 controls coil "C". See Fig. 7. To check
secondary coil resistance, measure resistance between towers of each
individual coil. Replace coil if primary and secondary coil

HALL EFFECT IGNITION
Ignition Coil Resistance
Using a DVOM, measure primary coil resistance between
specified coil terminals. See Figs. 9-12. On Galant, measure between
terminals No. 11 and 12. On Mirage measure between terminals No. 1 and
2. On all other vehicles, measure between positive and negative
terminals. Measure secondary coil resistance between coil positive
terminal and ignition coil tower. Primary and secondary coil
resistance should be within specification. See

See Fig. 1 . Connect negative voltmeter lead to ground.
2) Disconnect generator output wire from terminal "B".
Install a 100-amp ammeter in series with terminal "B" and disconnected
output lead. Connect positive lead of ammeter to terminal "B" and
negative lead to disconnected output wire. Install a tachometer, and
reconnect negative battery cable.
3) Turn ignition switch on and ensure voltmeter indicates
battery voltage. If voltage is not present, check for open in wire
between generator terminal "S" and positive battery terminal. Check
for blown fusible link.
4) Start engine. Ensure all lights and accessories are off.
Operate engine at 2500 RPM and read voltmeter when generator output
current drops to 10 amps or less. Voltage regulator is okay if voltage
output is within specification. See REGULATOR VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONS

GENERATOR RELAY TEST
NOTE: Information for all other models is not available from
manufacturer at time of publication.
Diamante & Mirage
Remove generator relay. On Diamante, relay is located in
relay box in engine compartment near battery. On Mirage, relay is
located in relay box in engine compartment between battery and strut
tower. On both models, connect positive lead of ohmmeter to relay
terminal No. 4. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Connect negative lead of ohmmeter
to relay terminal No. 2. Continuity should be present. Switch ohmmeter
lead locations. Continuity should not be present. Replace generator
relay if continuity is not as specified.
BENCH TESTING
RECTIFIER ASSEMBLY
1) Using ohmmeter, check for continuity between diodes and
stator coil lead connection. See Fig. 2. Reverse leads. If continuity
is present in both directions, diode is shorted. Replace rectifier
assembly.
2) To check entire diode assembly, use an ohmmeter to check
for continuity between both ends of each diode. See Fig. 2. Switch
ohmmeter leads. Continuity should be present in one direction only. If
continuity is not as specified, diode is defective. Replace rectifier
assembly.
