Mitsubishi Montero (1998+). Manual — part 180
98V220000: FRONT BRAKE LINE INSPECTION
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN
Model(s): 1997-98 Mitsubishi Montero
Campaign No: 98V220000
Number of Affected Vehicles: 61800
Beginning Date of Manufacture: 1996 JUN
Ending Date of Manufacture: 1998 MAY
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:
Sport utility vehicles.
DESCRIPTION OF DEFECT:
The front brake lines can develop pin holes due to chaffing against
the edge of the pass-through hole in the inner fender.
CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT:
Brake fluid can leak resulting in deteriorated braking performance and
illumination of the brake indicator lamp.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Dealers will inspect the front brake lines for signs of wear and
routing. If the lines are not correctly centered in the pass-through
hole, the lines will be repositioned by bending slightly to correct.
If there is evidence of brake line wear, the brake line will be
replaced.
OWNER NOTIFICATION:
Owner notification is expected to begin October 19, 1998. Owners who
take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service
date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time
should contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037. Also contact the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Auto Safety Hotline
at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration operates Monday
through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Eastern Time. For more
information call (800) 424-9393 or (202) 366-0123. For the hearing
impaired, call (800) 424-9153.

INTRODUCTION
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
NOTE: If no faults were found while performing basic diagnostic
procedures in F - BASIC TESTING article, proceed with
self-diagnostics in this article. If no Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTCs) or only pass codes are present after entering
self-diagnostics, proceed to H - TESTS W/O CODES article for
diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.).
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
NOTE: PCM diagnostic memory is retained by direct power supply
from battery. Memory is not erased by turning off ignition,
but it will be erased if battery or PCM is disconnected.
System diagnosis can be accomplished using a scan tool. See
ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS. Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
monitors several different engine control system circuits. If an
abnormal input signal occurs, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is
stored in PCM memory and assigned a DTC number. Each circuit has its
own DTC number and message. A specific DTC indicates a particular
system failure, but does not indicate that cause of failure is
necessarily within system.
A DTC does not condemn any specific component; it simply
points out a probable malfunctioning area. If a DTC is set, PCM will
turn on MIL. System failures encountered are identified as either hard
failures or intermittent failures as determined by PCM.
Hard Failures
Hard failures cause MIL to come on and remain on until
failure is repaired. If MIL comes on and remains on (MIL may flash)
during vehicle operation, cause of failure may be determined by using
appropriate DTC diagnostic procedure. See TROUBLE CODE DEFINITION. If
a sensor fails, PCM will use a substitute value in its calculations to
continue engine operation. In this condition (limp-in mode), vehicle
is functional, but loss of good driveability may result.
Intermittent Failures
Intermittent failures may cause MIL to flicker, or come on
and go out after intermittent DTC goes away. However, corresponding
DTC will be retained in PCM memory. If related DTC does not reoccur
within a certain time frame, related DTC will be erased from PCM
memory. Intermittent failures may be caused by a sensor, connector or
wiring problems. See INTERMITTENTS in H - TESTS W/O CODES article.
The PCM also records and stores engine operating conditions
when malfunction occurred. This information is referred to as freeze
frame data. If malfunction is an engine misfire, or fuel system rich
or fuel system lean condition, freeze frame data will be updated with
the most current information regarding these failures. Freeze frame
data recorded is:
* Fuel System Status
* Load Value (Displayed As Percent)
* Engine Coolant Temperature
* Short Term Fuel Trim (Displayed As Percent)
* Long Term Fuel Trim (Displayed As Percent)
* MAP Vacuum
* Engine RPM
* Vehicle Speed Sensor
* DTC During Data Recording
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
Before proceeding with diagnosis, following precautions must
be observed:
* Ensure vehicle has a fully charged battery and functional
charging system.
* Visually inspect connectors and circuit wiring being worked
on.
* DO NOT disconnect battery or PCM. This will erase any DTCs
stored in PCM.
* DO NOT cause short circuits when performing electrical tests.
This will set additional DTCs, making diagnosis of original
problem more difficult.
* DO NOT use a test light in place of a voltmeter.
* When checking for spark, ensure coil wire is NOT more than
1/4" from chassis ground. If coil wire is more than 1/4" from
chassis ground, damage to vehicle electronics and/or PCM may
result.
* DO NOT prolong testing of fuel injectors. Engine may
hydrostatically (liquid) lock.
* When a vehicle has multiple DTCs, always repair lowest number
DTC first.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Most driveability problems in the engine control system
result from faulty wiring, poor electrical connections or leaking air
and vacuum hose connections. To avoid unnecessary component testing,
perform a visual inspection before beginning self-diagnostic tests.
ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
NOTE: DO NOT skip any steps in self-diagnostic tests or incorrect
diagnosis may result. Ensure self-diagnostic test applies to
vehicle being tested.
DTCs may be retrieved by using a scan tool only. Proceed to
DTC retrieval method.
NOTE: Although other scan tools are available, Mitsubishi
recommends using Multi-Use Tester II (MUT II) scan tool.
Using Scan Tool
1) Refer to manufacturer’s operation manual for instructions
in use of scan tool. Before entering on-board diagnostics, see
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS. Locate Data Link Connector (DLC) under instrument
panel, near steering column.
2) Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect scan tool to
DLC. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Read and record scan tool
self-diagnostic output. Proceed to TROUBLE CODE DEFINITION.
TROUBLE CODE DEFINITION
When DTC is obtained, refer to appropriate DTC test
procedure.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
NOTE: DTCs can only be retrieved by using a scan tool. Listed DTCs
are retrieved using a generic scan tool. MUT II scan tool
can be used, but it may not read all DTCs. DTCS listed are
not used on all vehicles.
