VERIFY THE COMPLAINT

1. Make sure the customer's complaint and the service writer's work order description are understood before starting work.
2. Make sure the correct operation of the system is understood. Read the service information description to verify normal system operation.
3. Operate the system to see the symptoms. Look for other symptoms that were not reported by the customer, or on the work order, that may be related to the problem.

DETERMINE POSSIBLE CAUSES

Compare the confirmed symptoms to the diagnostic symptom indexes to find the right diagnosis procedure.

If the confirmed symptoms cannot be found on any symptom index, determine other possible causes.

1. Analyze the system diagrams and list all possible causes for the problem symptoms.
2. Rank all these possible causes in order of probability, based on how much of the system they cover, how likely they are to be the cause, and how easy they will be to check. Be sure to take experience into account. Consider the causes of similar problems seen in the past. The list of causes should be ranked in order from general to specific, from most-likely to least-likely, and from easy-to-check to hard-to-check.

FIND THE PROBLEM

After the symptoms have been confirmed, and probable causes have been identified, the next step is to make step-by-step checks of the suspected system components, junctions, and links in logical order.

Use the diagnostic procedures in the service information whenever possible. Follow these procedures carefully to avoid missing an important step in the diagnosis sequence. It might be the skipped step that leads to the solution of the problem.

If the service information doesn't have step-by-step procedures to help diagnose the problem, make a series of checks based on the ranked list of probable causes. Troubleshooting checks should be made in the order that the list of causes was ranked

1. general to specific
2. most-likely to least-likely
3. easy-to-check to hard-to-check

REPAIR THE PROBLEM

When the step-by-step troubleshooting checks find a fault, perform the proper repairs. Make sure to fix the root cause of the problem, not just the symptom. Just fixing the symptom, without fixing the root cause, will cause the symptom to eventually return.

VERIFY THE REPAIR

After repairs are made, recheck the operation of the system to confirm that the problem is eliminated. Be sure to check the system thoroughly. Sometimes new problems are revealed after repairs have been made.

TROUBLESHOOTING CONTENTS

1. STANDARD FLOW OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING

TERMINAL VOLTAGE CHECKS

1. Connect a needle-nosed wire probe to a voltmeter probe. CAUTION: Short-circuiting the positive (+) probe between a connector terminal and ground could damage the vehicle wiring, the sensor, the ECU, or all three. Use care to prevent this!
2. Insert the needle-nosed wire probe into each of the ECU connector terminals from the wire side, and measure the voltage while referring to the check chart. NOTE: Measure voltage with the ECU connectors connected. You may find it convenient to pull out the ECU to make it easier to reach the connector terminals. Checks don't have to be carried out in the order given in the chart.
3. If voltage readings differ from normal condition values, check related sensors, actuators, and wiring. Replace or repair as needed.
4. After repair or replacement, recheck with the voltmeter to confirm that the repair has corrected the problem.

TERMINAL RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY CHECKS

1. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
2. Disconnect the ECU connector. CAUTION: If resistance and continuity checks are performed on the wrong terminals, damage to the vehicle wiring, sensors, ECU, and/or ohmmeter may occur. Use care to prevent this!
3. Measure the resistance and check for continuity between the terminals of the ECU harness-side connector while referring to the check chart. NOTE: Checks don't have to be carried out in the order given in the chart.
4. If the ohmmeter shows any deviation from the Normal Condition value, check the corresponding sensor, actuator and related electrical wiring, then repair or replace.
5. After repair or replacement, recheck with the ohmmeter to confirm that the repair has corrected the problem.

10. INSPECTION PROCEDURES USING AN OSCILLOSCOPE

When there are inspection procedures using an oscilloscope, these are listed.

HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES

The causes of many of the problems occurring in electric circuitry are generally the connectors, components, the ECU, and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures follow this order. They first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

Scheme 109

Scheme 110

HARNESS INSPECTION

Check for an open or short circuit in the harness between the terminals which were faulty according to the connector measurements. Carry out this inspection while referring to HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . Here, "Check harness between power supply and terminal xx" also includes checking for blown fuse. For inspection service points when there is a blown fuse, refer to " INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS FOR A BLOWN FUSE ."

MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLACING THE ECU

If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even after replacing the ECU, repeat the inspection procedure from the beginning.

CONNECTOR MEASUREMENT SERVICE POINTS

Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position when connecting and disconnecting the connectors. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" when measuring, unless there are instructions to the contrary.

IF INSPECTING WITH THE CONNECTOR CONNECTED

Be sure to use special tool. Never insert a test probe from the harness side, as this will reduce the waterproof performance and result in corrosion.

Scheme 111

Required Special Tool

Scheme 112

1. MB992006: Extra Fine Probe Inspect by inserting a test probe from the harness side. If the connector is too small to insert a test probe (e.g. control unit connector), do not insert it forcibly. Use special tool MB992006 (extra fine probe).

IF INSPECTING WITH THE CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED

< When Inspecting a Female Pin>

Scheme 113

Scheme 114

Scheme 115

1. From front side of the connector Required Special Tool: MB991219: Inspection Harness (Included in MB991223, Harness Set) The inspection harness for connector pin contact pressure should be used. The test probe should never be forcibly inserted, as it may cause a defective contact.
2. From back side of the connector (SRS-ECU harness side connector) Since the SRS-ECU harness connector is plated to improve conductivity, observe the warning below when checking this connector. WARNING: Insert the backprobing tool into the connector from the harness side, and connect the tester to the backprobing tool. If any tool other than the backprobing tool is used, it may cause damage to the harness and other components. Furthermore, measurement should not be carried out by touching the backprobing tool directly against the terminals from the front of the connector. The terminals are plated to increase their conductivity, so that if they are touched directly by the backprobing tool, the plating may break, which will decrease reliability. < When Inspecting a Male Pin> CAUTION: At this time, be careful not to short the connector pins with the test probes. Doing so may damage the circuits inside the ECU. Touch the pin directly with the test probe.

Scheme 116

1. Connector is disconnected or improperly connected
2. Connector pins are pulled out
3. Stretched an broken wires at terminal section
4. Low contact pressure between male and female terminals
5. Low connection pressure due to rusted terminals or foreign matter lodged in terminals

CONNECTOR PIN INSPECTION

If the connector pin stopper is damaged, the terminal connections (male and female pins) will not be perfect even when the connector body is connected, because the pins may pull out of the back side of the connector. Therefore, gently pull the wires one by one to make sure that no pins pull out of the connector.

Scheme 117

CONNECTOR ENGAGEMENT INSPECTION

Required Special Tool

MB991219: Inspection Harness (contained in MB991223 Test Harness)

Use special tool, MB991219 to inspect the engagement of the male pins and female pins. [Pin drawing force: 1 N (0.2 pound) or more]

Scheme 118

HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS

Most intermittent malfunctions occur under certain conditions. If those conditions can be identified, the cause will be easier to find.

TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION

1. ASK THE CUSTOMER ABOUT THE MALFUNCTION

Ask what it feels like, what it sounds like, etc. Then ask about driving conditions, weather, frequency of occurrence, and so on.

2. DETERMINE THE CONDITIONS FROM THE CUSTOMER'S RESPONSES

Typically, almost all intermittent malfunctions occur from conditions like vibration, temperature and/or moisture change, poor connections. From the customer's responses, it should be reasoned which condition is most likely.

3. USE SIMULATION TEST

Use the simulation tests below to attempt to duplicate the customer's complaint. Determine the most likely circuit(s) and perform the simulation tests on the connectors and parts of that circuit(s). Be sure to use the inspection procedures provided for diagnostic trouble codes and trouble symptoms.

For temperature and/or moisture condition related intermittent malfunctions, try to change the conditions of the suspected circuit components, then use the simulation tests below.

4. VERIFY THE INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION IS ELIMINATED

Repair the malfunctioning part and try to duplicate the condition(s) again to verify the intermittent malfunction has been eliminated.

SIMULATION TESTS

Note. In case of difficulty in finding the cause of the intermittent malfunction, the data recorder function in the scan tool is effective.

For these simulation tests, shake, then gently bend, pull, and twist the wiring of each of these examples to duplicate the intermittent malfunction.

Scheme 119

1. Shake the connector up-and-down, and right-and-left.
2. Shake the wiring harness up-and-down, and right-and-left. Especially, check the splice points of wiring harnesses carefully. Refer to «HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION»(/mitsubishi/lancer-evolution/x-2007-2016/remont/body-electrical/#general-electrical-lancer-evolution) .
3. Shake the part or sensor.

HOW TO TREAT PAST TROUBLE

Since the trouble may still be present even the status is "Stored", set the vehicle to the diagnostic trouble code detection condition and check that the status changes to "Active". If the status does not change from "Stored", carry out the following procedure.

1. Establish from the customer whether a fuse or connector has been replaced or disconnected.
2. If yes, erase the diagnostic trouble code, and then check that no diagnostic code is reset. If no diagnostic trouble code is reset, the diagnosis is complete.
3. If no, follow the applicable Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart. Then check the wiring harness and connector, and refer to " «HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION»(/mitsubishi/lancer-evolution/x-2007-2016/remont/hoistjack/#general-information-lancer-evolution__how-to-cope-with-intermittent-malfunctions) ."

INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS FOR A BLOWN FUSE

Remove the blown fuse and measure the resistance between the load side of the blown fuse and the ground. Close the switches of all circuits which are connected to this fuse. If the resistance is almost 0 ohms at this time, there is a short somewhere between these switches and the load. If the resistance is not 0 ohms, there is no short at the present time, but a momentary short has probably caused the fuse to blow.

The main causes of a short circuit are the following.

Scheme 120

1. Harness being clamped by the vehicle body
2. Damage to the outer casing of the harness due to wear or heat
3. Water getting into the connector or circuitry
4. Human error (mistakenly shorting a circuit, etc.)

PURPOSE

When the ECM is replaced, or when the learned value is initialized, the idle may not be stabilized. Carry out the learning method by following the procedures below.

LEARNING PROCEDURE

1. Start the engine and warm to reach 80°C (176°F) or more. NOTE: When the engine coolant temperature is 80°C (176°F) or more, the warm-up is not needed if the ignition switch is in "ON" position once.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.
3. After 10 seconds or more, start the engine again.
4. For 10 minutes, carry out the idling under the condition shown below and then confirm the engine idles normally. Transaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicles with TC-SST) Operation in ignition-related, fan and attachments: Not to be operated Engine coolant temperature: 80°C (176°F) or more NOTE: If the engine stalls while idling, check for a dirty (on the throttle valve) of the throttle body and clean if needed. Then perform the service from Procedure 1 again.

INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE FOR THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL MOTOR

When the battery cable is disconnected and reconnected, throttle actuator control motor valve (Fully closed position) is eliminated, so that the throttle valve opening angle control would not be performed correctly. When the battery cable is disconnected and reconnected, initialize the throttle actuator control motor using the following procedure.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position then, turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.
2. For 10 seconds or more, keep the ignition switch in "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Scheme 139

If the vehicle equipped with 2.0 L turbocharged engine continues the rough driving like competitive running *1 , the amount of carbon mixed into the engine oil tends to increase. This can possibly cause the timing chain to gradually elongate. To prevent this, the function or logic monitoring the amount of elongation of the timing chain is integrated into the ECM. When the ECM detects the elongation of the timing chain, the warning is shown on the multi-information display of combination meter as shown in the illustration. This gives the driver the information that the visual check of the elongation of the timing chain is necessary. If this warning is continuously neglected, the timing chain can possibly interfere with the other engine components, resulting in the engine damaged.

Note. *1 : The competitive running means the running that constantly repeats the cycle of the full opened position of the accelerator pedal and the full closed position of the accelerator pedal.

The ECM stores the timing chain conditions as the initial learning value when the timing chain is installed. The ECM stores the amount of elongation of the timing chain in the EEPROM as the current learning value, compared with the initial learning value. The ECM judges that the visual check of the elongation of the timing chain is necessary when the current learning value exceeds the specified value. Thus, use the scan tool MB991958 to always carry out the maintenance of the initial learning value related to the timing chain that is stored by the ECM after the following service.

Spray nozzle distance: Approximately 40 cm (16 in.) or more Spray pressure: 3,900 kPa or less Spray temperature: 82 °C (180°F) or less Time of intensive spraying to one point: Within 30 seconds

APPLICATION OF ANTI-CORROSION AGENTS AND UNDERCOATS

Be careful not to apply oil or grease to the heated oxygen sensor. If applied, the sensor may malfunction. Protect the heated oxygen sensor with a cover before applying anti-corrosion agent, etc.

BOLTS AND NUTS WITH STABILIZER FOR COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION

The bolts and nuts with stabilizer for coefficient of friction have been used for the connections such as the suspension arm and crossmember in order to stabilize the axial force and to ensure the high axial force at bolt/nut connections, resulting in improved reliability.

Note. The bolts and nuts with stabilizer for coefficient of friction mean that the bolts and nuts with surface treatment to stabilize and reduce the coefficient of friction, allowing to achieve the stable axial force and to secure the high axial force with low tightening torque.

FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET (FIPG)

The engine has several parts to which the form-in-place gasket (FIPG) is used. To sufficiently achieve the aims of this gasket, it is necessary to pay attention to the application amount, procedure, and surface status.

If the application amount is too small, a leakage will occur. If the application amount is excessive, the FIPG will overflow and cause a clogging or narrowing of water and oil paths. Therefore, to eliminate the leak from the joint, it is indispensable that the FIPG be applied with a correct amount and without any gap.

Because the FIPG used for the engine parts becomes hardened by the reaction with the atmospheric moisture, it is normally used for the metal flange section.

DISASSEMBLY

The parts installed with the FIPG can be disassembled easily without using any special method. However, in some cases, it is necessary to tear the sealant in between the mating surfaces by tapping the parts with a wooden hammer or similar tools. It is acceptable to lightly hit in a smooth, thin gasket scraper into the mating surface, but, in this case, a sufficient caution is required not to damage the mating surface. The oil pan FIPG cutter (Special tool: MD998727) is provided. Thus, use this special tool.

GASKET SURFACE CLEANING

Use a gasket scraper or wire brush to completely remove all the foreign materials adhering to the gasket surface. Check that the FIPG application surface is smooth. There must be no grease or foreign material adhesion to the gasket surface. Do not forget to remove the old FIPG remaining in the mounting hole and tapped hole.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Apply the FIPG with a specified diameter and without any gap. Completely enclose around the mounting hole. When the FIPG is not hardened, it can be wiped off. When the FIPG is still moistened (within three minutes), perform the installation to the specified position. At the time of installation, prevent the FIPG from adhering to locations other than it is necessary. After the installation, until a sufficient period of time (approximately for two hours) elapses, do not contact the oil or water to the application area. Also, do not start the engine. Because the FIPG application procedure may differ depending on the application area, apply the FIPG according to the procedure described in the text.

DISK BRAKE PAD CHECK

Scheme 178

Scheme 179

1. Visually check the thickness of brake pad from the inspection hole of the caliper body. Standard value: 9.85 mm (0.39 inch) 9.0 mm (0.35 inch) Limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch) 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
2. When the thickness is lower than the limit value, replace both brake pads (right and left) as a set (Refer to «BRAKE PAD CHECK»(/mitsubishi/lancer-evolution/x-2007-2016/remont/mechanical-hydraulic/#basic-brake-system-lancer-evolution) ).

Scheme 180

1. Using a micrometer, measure disk thickness at eight positions, approximately 45 degrees apart and 10 mm (0.4 inch) in from the outer edge of the disk. Standard value: 32.0 mm (1.26 inch) 22.0 mm (0.87 inch) Limit: 30.0 mm (1.18 inch) 20.0 mm (0.79 inch) NOTE: Thickness variation (at least 8 positions) should not be more than 0.015 mm (0.0006 inch). CAUTION: After a new brake disk is installed, always grind the brake disk with on-the-car type brake lathe. If this step is not carried out, the brake disk run-out exceeds the specified value, resulting in judder. When the on-the-car type lathe is used, first install M12 flat washer on the stud bolt in the brake disk side according to the figure, and then install the adapter. If the adapter is installed with M12 flat washer not seated, the brake disk rotor may be deformed, resulting in inaccurate grinding. Grind the brake disk with all wheel nuts diagonally and equally tightened to the specified torque 100 N.m (74 ft-lb). When all numbers of wheel nuts are not used, or the tightening torque is excessive or not equal, the brake disk rotor or drum may be deformed, resulting in judder.
2. If the disk thickness is less than the limits, replace it with a new one. If thickness variation exceeds the specification, turn rotor with an on-the-car type brake lathe ("MAD, DL-8700PF" or equivalent). If the calculated final thickness after turning the rotor is less than the standard value, replace the disk.

FRONT BRAKE DISK RUN-OUT CHECK AND CORRECTION

Place a dial gauge approximately 5 mm (0.2 inch) from the outer circumference of the brake disk, and measure the run-out of the disk.

Limit

1. 0.06 mm (0.0024 inch)
2. 0.08 mm (0.0032 inch)

25. TIRES (ROTATE)

Rotate tires regularly to equalize tire wear and help extend tire life. Recommended tire rotation is every 12,000 km (7,500 miles).

Timing for the rotation may vary according to vehicle condition, road surface conditions, and individual driver's habits.

When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage, and wheel alignment. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tire pressure, improper wheel alignment, out-of balance wheels, or severe braking.

The first rotation is the most important, to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle.
