Mitsubishi - Generators & Regulators
Diamante, Eclipse, Galant, Mirage, Montero, Montero Sport,
3000GT
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
NOTE: The terms generator and alternator are interchangeable.
Mitsubishi generators are conventional 3-phase, self-
rectifying type units containing 6 diodes (3 positive and 3 negative)
which are used to rectify current. All models use a case-mounted
Integrated Circuit (IC) voltage regulator.
Generator relay or resistor with diode is used to ensure
charging of battery even if charging indicator light is defective.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: See TROUBLE SHOOTING article in the GENERAL INFORMATION
section.

WIRING DIAGRAM COMPONENT LOCATIONS
When trying to locate a component in a wiring diagram and you
don't know the specific system where it is located, use this handy
component locator to find the system wiring diagram in which the
component is located. Then, go to that system and locate the component
within the wiring diagram.
For example, if you don't know the specific system in which
the ignition switch is located, look up ignition switch in the wiring
diagram component location tables and go to the appropriate wiring
diagram(s) which contain either full or partial views of the ignition
switch. The full view of the ignition switch is located in Power
Distribution.
The first listing for the component will be the full or most
complete view of the component. Additional listings will be partial
views of the component. Not all components are used on all models.
All components will have a partial view in Ground
Distribution and Power Distribution. Data Link Connectors show
connecting circuits between modules. Alternate names for components
may be listed in wiring diagram component locations tables.
