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.

NOTE: Components are grouped into 2 categories. The first category
covers INPUT DEVICES, which control or produce voltage
signals monitored by Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
second category covers OUTPUT SIGNALS, which are components
controlled by PCM.
INPUT DEVICES
Vehicles are equipped with different combinations of input
devices. Not all input devices are used on all models. To determine
input device usage on specific models, see appropriate wiring diagram
in L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article. The following are available input
devices.
Air Conditioning Switch
When A/C is turned on, signal is sent to PCM. With engine at
idle, PCM increases idle speed through Idle Air Control (IAC) motor.
Airflow Sensor Assembly
Assembly is mounted inside air cleaner, and incorporates
barometric pressure sensor, intake air temperature sensor and volume
airflow sensor.
Barometric (BARO) Pressure Sensor
Sensor is incorporated into airflow sensor assembly. Sensor
converts barometric pressure to electrical signal, which is sent to
PCM. PCM adjusts air/fuel ratio and ignition timing according to
altitude.
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
On SOHC engines equipped with a distributor, CMP sensor is
located in distributor. On Eclipse (Turbo) and DOHC V6 engines, sensor\
is located beside camshaft, in front of engine. On all other engines,
CMP sensor is a separate unit mounted in place of distributor. PCM
determines TDC based on pulse signals received from sensor, and then
controls MFI timing.
Closed Throttle Position (CTP) Switch
CTP switch is located in the Throttle Position (TP) sensor.
PCM senses whether accelerator pedal is depressed or not. High voltage
(open) or low voltage (closed) signal is input to PCM, which then
controls Idle Air Control (IAC) motor based on input signal.
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
CKP sensor is located in distributor on SOHC engines, except
1.5L 4-cylinder with California emissions. On DOHC 4-cylinder, DOHC V6
and 1.5L 4-cylinder engines with California emissions, CKP sensor is
located beside crankshaft, in front of engine. PCM determines
crankshaft position on pulse signals received from sensor, and then
controls MFI timing and ignition timing.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
ECT sensor converts coolant temperature to electrical signal
for use by PCM. PCM uses coolant temperature information to control
fuel enrichment when engine is cold.
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)

usage on specific models, see appropriate wiring diagram in
L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article. For theory and operation on each
output component, refer to system indicated after component.

FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL DELIVERY
Electric fuel pump, located in gas tank, feeds fuel through
in-tank fuel filter, external fuel filter (located in engine
compartment) and fuel injector rail.
Fuel Pump
Fuel pump consists of a motor-driven impeller. Pump has an
internal check valve to maintain system pressure, and a relief valve
to protect fuel pressure circuit. Pump receives voltage supply from
MFI control relay.
Fuel Pressure Control Solenoid Valve (Turbo)
Valve prevents rough idle due to fuel percolation. On engine
restart, if engine coolant or intake air temperature reaches a preset
value, PCM applies voltage to fuel pressure control solenoid valve for
2 minutes after enginerestart. Valve will open, allowing atmospheric
pressure to be applied to fuel pressure regulator diaphragm. This
allows maximum available fuel pressure at injectors, enriching fuel
mixture and maintaining stable idle at high engine temperatures.
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Located on fuel injector rail, this diaphragm-operated relief
valve adjusts fuel pressure according to engine manifold vacuum.
As engine manifold vacuum increases (closed throttle), fuel

pressure regulator diaphragm opens relief valve, allowing pressure to
bleed off through fuel return line, reducing fuel pressure.
As engine manifold vacuum decreases (open throttle), fuel
pressure regulator diaphragm closes valve, preventing pressure from
bleeding off through fuel return line, increasing fuel pressure.
FUEL CONTROL
Fuel Injectors
Fuel is supplied to engine through electronically pulsed
(timed) injector valves located on fuel rail(s). PCM controls amount\
of fuel metered through injectors based on information received from
sensors.
IDLE SPEED
Air Conditioning (A/C) Relay
When A/C is turned on with engine at idle, PCM signals IAC
motor to increase idle speed. To prevent A/C compressor from switching
on before idle speed has increased, PCM momentarily opens A/C relay
circuit.
Idle Air Control (IAC) Motor
Motor controls pintle-type air valve to regulate volume of
intake air at idle.
During start mode, PCM controls idle intake air volume
according to Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor input. After
starting, with idle position switch activated (throttle closed), fast
idle speed is controlled by IAC motor and fast idle air control valve
(if equipped).
When idle switch is deactivated (throttle open), IAC motor
moves to a preset position in accordance with ECT sensor input.
PCM signals IAC motor to increase engine RPM in the following
situations: A/T (if applicable) is shifted from Neutral to Drive, A/C
is turned on, or power steering pressure reaches a preset value.
IGNITION SYSTEMS
DIRECT IGNITION SYSTEM (DIS)
Depending on number of cylinders, ignition system is a 2 or
3-coil, distributorless ignition system. On Eclipse (Turbo) and DOHC
V6 engines, Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is located beside camshaft,\
in front of engine. On all other engines equipped with DIS, CMP sensor
is a separate unit mounted in place of distributor. On DOHC 4-
cylinder, DOHC V6 and 1.8L 4-cylinder engines with California
emissions, Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located beside
crankshaft, in front of engine. PCM determines TDC based on pulse
signals received from sensors and then controls MFI and ignition
timing.
Power Transistors & Ignition Coils
Based on crankshaft position and CMP sensor inputs, PCM
controls timing and directly activates each power transistor to fire
coils. On 4-cylinder engines, power transistor "A" controls primary
current of ignition coil "A" to fire spark plugs on cylinders No. 1
and No. 4 at the same time. Power transistor "B" controls primary
current of ignition coil "B" to fire spark plugs on cylinders No. 2
and No. 3 at the same time. On V6 engines, companion cylinders No. 1
and 4, 2 and 5, and 3 and 6 are fired together.
On all models, although each coil fires 2 plugs at the same
time, ignition takes place in only one cylinder, since the other
