How To Use Troubleshooting/ Inspection Service Points - Mitsubishi Eclipse 1990 Service Manual

GENERAL
Troubleshooting of electronic control systems for which the scan tool
described below. Furthermore, even in systems for which the scan tool cannot be used, part of these
systems still follow this outline.
TROUBLESHOOTING CONTENTS
1. STANDARD FLOW OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING
The main procedures for diagnostic troubleshooting are shown.
2. SYSTEM OPERATION AND SYMPTOM VERIFICATION TESTS
If verification of the trouble symptoms is difficult, procedures for checking operation and verifying
trouble symptoms are shown.
3. DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The following diagnostic functions are shown.
Method of reading diagnostic trouble codes
Method of erasing diagnostic trouble codes
Input inspection service points
4. INSPECTION CHART FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
5. INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Indicates the inspection procedures corresponding to each diagnostic trouble code. (Refer to the
next page on how to use the inspection procedures.)
6. INSPECTION CHART FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS

in this chart as reference information.
Terminal Voltage Checks
1. Connect a needle-nosed wire probe or paper clip to a voltmeter probe.
2. Insert the needle-nosed wire probe into each of the ECU connector
and measure the voltage while referring to the check chart.
NOTE
1. Measure voltage with the ECU connectors connected.
2. You may find it convenient to pull out the ECU to make it easier to reach the connector
terminals.
3. Checks don't have to be carried out in the order given in the chart.
Short-circuiting the positive
the vehicle wiring, the sensor, the ECU, or all three.
