Using ANTI-LOCK Warning Light
1) To retrieve stored DTCs, locate Data Link Connector (DLC)\
under left side of dash. Turn ignition off. Ground DLC terminal No. 1.
See Fig. 8 .
2) If DTCs are stored in ECU memory, ANTI-LOCK light will
begin to flash intermittently. Long flashes represent first digit of
DTC; short flashes represent second digit. For example, 4 long flashes
and 3 short flashes indicate DTC 43. If 2 or more DTCs are stored,
lowest number will be displayed first. DTC 51 will always be displayed
if valve relay is removed.
3) After recording DTC(s), see DTC DEFINITION table and
perform appropriate DTC test(s) under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. If no DTCs are
stored, ANTI-LOCK warning light will flash constantly.

CLEARING DTCs
To clear DTCs using scan tool, follow scan tool
manufacturer's instructions. To clear DTCs without scan tool,
disconnect negative battery cable for at least 10 seconds. Reconnect
battery cable and repeat RETRIEVING DTCs to confirm that malfunction
has been corrected.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
DTC 11, 12, 13 OR 14: WHEEL SPEED SENSOR (OPEN/SHORT
CIRCUIT)
NOTE: DTC will set if ECU detects a wheel speed sensor open or
short circuit.
1) Ensure sensor is properly installed. See WHEEL SPEED
SENSOR (WSS) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION . Correct installation if
needed. If installation is okay, go to next step.
2) Disconnect ECU 26-pin connector. Check resistance between
specified ECU connector terminals. See
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION table. See Figs. 5-6.
Resistance for front sensors should be 1170-1350 ohms. Resistance for
rear sensors should be 1300-1500 ohms. If resistance is as specified,
go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, check and repair
connectors and related wiring between ECU and suspect sensor. See

DTC 25: FREE WHEEL ENGAGE SWITCH
NOTE: DTC sets if ECU detects an open circuit in free wheel engage
switch.
1) Start engine. Ensure 4WD indicator light operates
correctly when transfer shift lever is moved to desired 4WD positions.
If indicator light operates correctly, go to step 3). If indicator
light does not operate correctly, go to next step.
2) Turn engine off. Check wiring harness between 4WD
indicator control unit (located behind radio) and free wheel engage
switch (located on right side of front differential housing, near

4WD indicator light does not operate correctly, replace
faulty 4WD indicator control unit.
4) If no indicator lights come on, repair 4WD indicator power
circuit, or check for faulty 4WD indicator control unit. See 4WD
CONTROL UNIT under COMPONENT TESTS. If center differential light comes
on, regardless of position of transfer shift lever, check the
following:

* Check for short in center differential lock switch circuit.
* Check for faulty center differential lock switch.
* Check for short in ECU circuit or faulty ECU.
* Check for short in indicator control unit circuit or faulty
4WD indicator control unit.
Repair wiring harness or replace component as necessary. See

5) If 4WD indicator light does not come on with transfer
shift lever in "4H" position, repair wiring harness between 4WD
indicator control unit and center differential lock switch. Check for
faulty 4WD indicator control unit.
6) If 4WD indicator light does not come on with transfer
shift lever in "4H" position, repair wiring harness between 4WD
indicator control unit and free wheel engage switch. See
WIRING DIAGRAMS . Check ground wire at engage switch. Check for faulty
free wheel engage switch.
DTC 27: REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK DETECTION SWITCH (WITH
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK)
NOTE: DTC is set if ECU detects an open circuit in rear
differential lock detection switch system.
1) Start engine. Ensure rear differential indicator light
comes on when top of rear differential lock switch (located below
radio) is pushed. If indicator light comes on, go to step 3). If
indicator light does not come on, go to next step.
2) Turn engine off. Check wiring harness between rear
differential lock control unit and rear differential lock switch. See
WIRING DIAGRAMS . Check rear differential lock control unit power
circuit. See REAR DIFFERENTIAL CONTROL UNIT under COMPONENT TESTS. If
circuit is okay, replace rear differential lock control unit.
3) Disconnect ECU 22-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Using
DVOM, check voltage between terminal No. 46 and ground. See Figs. 5-6.
When rear differential is locked, battery voltage should not be
present. When rear differential is unlocked, battery voltage should be
present. If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is
not as specified, repair connectors and related wiring harness between
ECU and rear differential lock switch. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
4) Check and repair ECU 22-pin connector. If connector is
okay, replace ECU.
DTC 27: REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK DETECTION SWITCH (WITHOUT
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK)
NOTE: DTC is set if ECU detects an interruption of battery voltage
at ECU terminal No. 46.

correct cause of blown fuse, and replace fuse. If fuse is okay, go to
next step.
2) Disconnect ECU 22-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Using
DVOM, check voltage between terminal No. 46 and ground. See Figs. 5-6.
If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is
not present, check and repair connectors and related wiring harness
between ECU and fuse No. 18. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.

Do not disconnect control unit harness connector. Backprobe harness
connector. Check voltage between each individual terminal and ground
terminal No. 6 (Black wire). See Figs. 14 and 15. If after all tests
have been completed system is not operating properly, substitute rear

CAUTION: Vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
When servicing vehicle, use care to avoid accidental air bag
deployment. SRS-related components are located in steering
column, center console, instrument panel and lower panel on
instrument panel. DO NOT use electrical test equipment on
these circuits. If necessary, deactivate SRS before servicing
components. See AIR BAG SERVICING article in APPLICATIONS &
IDENTIFICATION.
DESCRIPTION
Automatic transmission is a 4-speed electronically controlled
transmission. Solenoids that control shift changes are located in
valve body. Solenoids are controlled by a Transmission Control Module
(TCM). TCM receives information from various input devices and uses
this information to control shift solenoids for transmission shifting
and lock-up solenoid for torque converter lock-up.
An Overdrive (OD) switch is mounted on the shift lever. When
OD switch is depressed to ON position, transmission will shift into
4th gear when shift lever is in "D" position, and OD OFF light on
instrument panel will go off. When OD switch is released to OFF
position, transmission will shift into 3rd gear, and OD OFF light on
instrument panel will illuminate.
A pattern select switch is located near shift lever on center
console. Pattern select switch contains a NORMAL and a HOLD operating
position. When pattern select switch is depressed (HOLD position) with\
shift lever in Drive position, transmission starts in 2nd gear.
Upshifts and downshifts will occur at a higher vehicle speed than with
switch in NORMAL position. See MITSUBISHI R4AW3 & V4AW3 OVERHAUL
article. Indicator light on instrument panel indicates pattern select
switch is in HOLD position.
Transmission is equipped with a shift lock and key interlock
system. Shift lock system prevents shift lever from being moved from
Park unless brake pedal is depressed. Key interlock system prevents
ignition key from being moved from ACC to LOCK position on ignition
switch unless shift lever is in Park. See MITSUBISHI SHIFT LOCK
SYSTEMS article.
