Servicing - A/t: Other Mitsubishi Eclipse III

OIL COOLER FLOW CHECK

After the new or repaired transaxle has been installed, fill to the proper level with DIAMOND ATF SP III or equivalent A/T fluid. The flow should be checked using the following procedure

Scheme 327

1. Disconnect the OUTLET (From cooler) line at the transaxle and place a collecting container under the disconnected line.
2. Run the engine at curb idle speed with the shift selector in neutral.
3. If A/T fluid flow is intermittent or it takes more than 20 seconds to collect one quart of A/T fluid, replace the cooler.
4. If flow is found to be within acceptable limits, reconnect the cooler line. Then fill the transaxle to the proper level, using DIAMOND ATF SP III or equivalent fluid.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CHECK

Refer to CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR .

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CHECK

Refer to THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR .

Scheme 328

Scheme 329

1. Remove the A/T fluid temperature sensor.
2. Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the A/T fluid temperature sensor connector. Standard value
3. If the A/T fluid temperature sensor resistance is not consistent with the fluid temperature, replace A/T fluid temperature sensor. NOTE: The N range indicator light on the combination meter flashes when the temperature reaches approximately 125°C or higher, and then stops flashing when the temperature drops below approximately 115°C.

Scheme 330

Scheme 331

1. Remove the A/T control relay.
2. Use jumper wires to connect the A/T control relay terminal 2 to the negative battery terminal and terminal 3 to the positive battery terminal.
3. Check the continuity between terminal 1 and terminal 4 of the A/T control relay when the jumper wires are connected to and disconnected from the battery.
4. If there is any problem with the A/T control relay, replace it.

Scheme 332

Scheme 333

Scheme 334

Scheme 335

1. Use the scan tool to measure the ATF temperature and set the ATF temperature to 20°C (68°F).
2. Remove the A/T control solenoid valve assembly connector.
3. Measure the resistance between the solenoid valve terminals.
4. Check that the measured values are within the standard values at Steps 1 and 2. Standard value
5. If within the standard value, check the power supply and the ground circuits.
6. If not within the standard value, drain the ATF and remove the valve body cover.
7. Disconnect the connectors of each solenoid valve.
8. Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of each solenoid valve. Standard value: 2.7 - 3.4 ohm [at 20°C (68°F)]
9. If the resistance is not within the standard value, replace the solenoid valve.
10. If within the standard value, check each wiring harness between A/T control solenoid valve assembly and each solenoid valve. If a problem is not found at the steps above, check the solenoid valve O-rings and replace if necessary.

Scheme 336

1. Apply the parking brake, and check that the selector lever moves smoothly and accurately to each position.
2. Check that the engine starts when the selector lever is at the "N" or "P" position, and that it does not start when the selector lever is in any other position.
3. Start the engine, release the parking brake, and check that the vehicle moves forward when the selector lever is moved from "N" position to "D", "3", "2" or "L" position or to 1st or 2nd gear in Sports mode, and that the vehicle reverses when the selector lever is moved to "R" position.
4. Stop the engine.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position, and check that the backup lamp illuminates when the selector lever is shifted from "P" position to "R" position. NOTE: The A/T mis-operation prevention mechanism is provided so that the selector lever cannot be moved from the "P" position if the ignition switch is at a position other than the "LOCK" (OFF) position and the brake pedal is not depressed.

Scheme 337

Scheme 338

1. Carry out the following inspection.
2. When any of the above checks are not normal, adjust the key interlock cable in following procedure. Remove the floor console. (Refer to «FLOOR CONSOLE ASSEMBLY»(ref-171089-S33972127052005020300000) .) Shift selector lever to "P" position. Turn the ignition key to "LOCK" (OFF) position. Loosen the locking nut of the key interlock cable. Push the cable joint on the lock cam gently toward the arrow until the cable stops. Tighten the locking nut. Install the floor console.
3. After adjusting, check the operation once more. If the operation is still incorrect, replace the key interlock cable. (Refer to «A/T KEY INTERLOCK AND SHIFT LOCK MECHANISMS»(ref-171011-S29282914602005012500000) .)

Scheme 339

Scheme 340

1. Carry out the following inspections.
2. When the above operations are defective, adjust the shift lock cable as follows: Remove the floor console. (Refer to «FLOOR CONSOLE ASSEMBLY»(ref-171089-S33972127052005020300000) .) Shift selector lever to "P" position. Loosen the locking nut of shift lock cable. Tighten the locking nut so that the end of the shift lock cable comes above the red marking of the lock cam. Install the floor console.
3. After adjusting, check the operation once more. If the operation is still incorrect, replace the shift lock cable. (Refer to «A/T KEY INTERLOCK AND SHIFT LOCK MECHANISMS»(ref-171011-S29282914602005012500000) .)
