MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND SERVICING EXPLANATIONS

This Service Information provides explanations, etc. concerning procedures for the inspection, maintenance, repair and servicing of the subject model. Unless otherwise specified, each service procedure covers all models. Procedures covering specific models are identified by the model codes, or similar designation (engine type, transaxle type, etc.). A description of these designations is covered in this Service Information under "VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION."

TIMING CHAIN MAINTENANCE - 2.0L ENGINE Turbo

If the vehicle equipped with 2.0 L ENGINE Turbo 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 below. 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.

Scheme 36

The ECM stores the timing chain conditions as the 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 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 learning value related to the timing chain that is stored by the ECM after the following service.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

Maintenance and lubrication service recommendations have been compiled to provide maximum protection for the vehicle owner's investment against all reasonable types of driving conditions. Since these conditions vary with the individual vehicle owner's driving habits, the area in which the vehicle is operated and the type of driving to which the vehicle is subjected, it is necessary to prescribe lubrication and maintenance service on a time frequency as well as mileage interval basis.

Oils, lubricants and greases are classified and graded according to standards recommended by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI).

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES

Information for service maintenance is provided in the "SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE." Three schedules are provided; one for "Required Maintenance." one for "General Maintenance" and one for "Severe Usage Service."

The item numbers in "SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE" correspond to the category numbers in "MAINTENANCE SERVICE."

CHECK FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION

Scheme 38

Scheme 39

1. Drive the vehicle until the transmission fluid is warmed up to the normal operating temperature 70 - 80 C (158 - 176 F). NOTE: Use M.U.T.-III. to measure the transmission fluid temperature. NOTE: When a certain amount of time is required to warm up the transmission fluid to the normal operating temperature 70 - 80 C (158 - 176 F), check the oil level referring to the characteristics chart.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Move the selector lever to every position to fill the torque converter and the hydraulic circuit with the transmission fluid, and then move the selector lever to "P" or "N" range.
4. Wipe clean the area around the dipstick, and then remove the dipstick to check the condition of the transmission fluid. NOTE: If the transmission fluid smells burnt or is excessively deteriorated or dirty, the transmission fluid is contaminated with particles of the metal bushings and friction material. In these cases, the transaxle must be overhauled.
5. Check that the transmission fluid level is within the "H" area on the dipstick. If the fluid level is low, add the transmission fluid to the "H" level. Transmission fluid: Mitsubishi Motors Genuine CVTF-J4 NOTE: When the transmission fluid level is low, the oil pump sucks air together with the transmission fluid, and produces air bubbles in the hydraulic circuit. The air bubbles in the hydraulic circuit decreases the hydraulic pressure, causing the delayed shift or slippage of the belt, clutch, and brake. When the transmission fluid level is too high, the fluid is stirred by the gear and foams up, and the problems similar to those when the transmission fluid level is low will occur. In either case, air bubbles cause the overheat and oxidation of the transmission fluid, which prevents normal operation of the valve, clutch, and brake. Beside, when the transmission fluid is foamy, it flows out of the transaxle vent hole. This may be taken as the fluid leakage by mistake.
6. Insert the dipstick securely.

Scheme 40

1. Remove the drain plug on the bottom of the transaxle case to drain the transmission fluid. Draining amount: Approximately 5.1 dm 3 (5.39 qt)
2. Install the drain plug with a new gasket to the transaxle case, and tighten it to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 34 ± 2 N m (25 ± 2 ft-lb) CAUTION: If the transaxle case becomes full before filling 5.1 dm 3 (5.39 qt) of transmission fluid, stop filling the transmission fluid.
3. Fill in the new transmission fluid through the filler tube. Filling amount: Approximately 5.1 dm 3 (5.39 qt) Transmission fluid: DIA QUEEN CVTF-J4
4. Start up the engine and let it idle for 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Move the selector lever to every position, and then move it to the "P" or "N" range.
6. Stop the engine and perform the above steps 1 to 5 again.
7. Stop the engine, and discharge a small amount of transmission fluid to check for fouling. If fouling is found, repeat steps 1 to 5 until clean transmission fluid comes out.
8. Drive the vehicle until the transmission fluid is warmed up to the normal operating temperature 70 - 80 C (158 - 176 F), and check the transmission fluid level. It must be within the "H" area on the dipstick. NOTE: The "COLD" level is for reference only. Use the "H" level as the criteria. NOTE: Use M.U.T.-III. to measure the transmission fluid temperature. NOTE: When a certain amount of time is required to warm up the transmission fluid to the normal operating temperature 70 - 80 C (158 - 176 F), check the fluid level referring to the characteristics chart.
9. Adjust the transmission fluid level to the specified level. Refill the transmission fluid when the fluid level is low, and drain the transmission fluid through the drain plug when the fluid level is high.
10. Securely insert the dipstick into the filler tube.
11. TCM records the deterioration level of the transmission fluid. After replacing the transmission fluid with new one, use M.U.T.-III to reset the deterioration level recorded in TCM.

Scheme 41

Scheme 42

1. Remove the filler plug and gasket.
2. Check that the oil level is just below the lower edge of the filler plug hole.
3. Check that the oil is not excessively foul and has moderate viscosity.
4. Install the filler plug and new gasket, then tighten them to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 32 ± 2 N m (24 ± 1 ft-lb)

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE CHECK

1. Clean the transaxle exterior, and visually check the transaxle for fluid leaks.
2. If the fluid is leaking from the oil pan or the oil seal, replace the part. If the fluid is leaking from the part other than the oil pan and the oil seal, replace the transaxle assembly.
