TROUBLESHOOTING
General Precautions
Contact a Mitsubishi Dealer for
Repair Service
Repairing a malfunctioning engine may require
special equipment or potentially dangerous work,
except for relatively simple procedures such as the
change and addition of fuel, engine oil and coolant.
In the event of the engine generates a malfunction,
contact a Mitsubishi dealer.
Examination before Work
Before troubleshooting, examine possible causes
of the problem and try to see if the same problem
has occurred in the past.
Check the parts that may be causing the problem in
the most efficient order.
When disassembling a component, pay close
attention to the disassembly sequence so that you
can reassemble the component efficiently.
Notes Regarding Contamination
Dust and foreign particles are the most common
cause of rapid wear of parts.
When disassembling a component, take measures
to prevent dust and foreign particles from entering
the component being disassembled.
Notes Regarding Parts Handling
Handle parts carefully.
When replacing parts, use only genuine parts by
referring to the parts catalog.
Work Safety
Be sure to use wrenches of correct size. Using a
wrench of a wrong size not only damages nuts but
can also cause personal injury.
Use correct tools and perform work with utmost
caution.
Be sure to estimate the weight of the part being dis-
mounted. If the removed part is too heavy, it may
fall during lifting, causing damage to the part as well
as personal injury.
