One of the three most asked questions on this forums relates to the 4WD operation and what the flashing dash lights mean. I have pinned this topic and attached a link which describes the system quite well (including pics).

If you are having trouble with your system or just want to know what is the correct operation is vs incorrect have a look at this before searching or starting a new thread.

PS: The top questions are;

1/ I want to find a service manual for my vehicle?
2/ I need a radio code for my vehicle
3/ What do the flashing 4wd lights mean?

If you could help with the first two I will sicky them to the top. Our Russian link seems to have gone AWAL.

Hi all,

Recently, we have had a thread going on replacement of O2 sensors. This is a hot topic during these times of increased fuel prices and understanding complicated engine management systems. The O2 sensor is an essential part of the engine control and can fail without having any fault codes come to our attention.

It will become increasinlly important that we know how to test & diagnois a faulty sensor and then replace with the correct part. This may sound easy but as this attached thread points out there are different types of sensors now available and the parts code listed can be wrong. It was also discovered that certain after market brands perform better than others so this is another trap for those uninformed. Going OEM is not always the best option as it can cost over $1200US to replace sensors which may still be functioning.,

http://www.mitsubishi-forums.com/t38645-an...gen-sensors.htm

I know that this attached thread link is long and difficult to follow. It is my intension in pinning this new thread to develop a good comphrensive place to document test methods, available replacements and problems we have encountered with the sensors. If you have some information which would be of use to all of us in this thread please post it up.

I will attach a link below that describes how sensors work and basic test procedures for a start. Do note that this article is a little out-dated and technology has advanced. Just one of the recent pitfalls I discovered.

I have an 87 Montero 4WD 2.6 L 4 cylinder...as part of the air conditioning system, the vehicle has an auxiliary fan in front of the condensor. The wire to the fan motor is not connected to any power. I'm working with a Haynes Service Manual, which has a wiring diagram for the air con system and a chapter for the air con system, but neither indicate an auxiliary fan in front of the condensor. Can anyone tell me ....is the wire for the fan motor connected in some way to the power for the compressor or does it have a separate connector? Are they joined together or do they receive power separately?

Hi I have an electrical relay part #...MB229456...is this the power relay for the air conditioning, and if not, anyone know what relay it is?

My 3.5 Gdi has 127 k km and loses power and almost stalls under laod either hills of quick acceleration, on flat with no load its ok until the accelerator is pressed. HJAve just had the throttle control sensor replaced but problem persists possible causes appreciated

Possible causes (from web research) have included 02 sensor, carbonation of the intake manifold, air filter sensor, throttle body, fuel pump relay - can anyone shed any light please before I take it to the garage (possibly not the dealer)

after i changed bank-2 sensor-1 i still get code p0155 any ideas?

Hi all,

Has anyone ever had the misfortune of breaking the Automatic antenna plastic feeler that pushes and retracts the antenna? I know this is a very rare incident, so you either replace the whole unit or install a new in-cab window antenna.

Anyways, I have bought a used automatic antenna for a song and am about to go replace the whole unit or open up and replace the feeler only.

The biggest question is, has anyone ever opened up the side panel (left front) to get to the antenna? What are the risks involved here?

Thanks.

[color="#0000FF"][/color]Hello, all!

I just recently purchased a 2004 Montero Sport. I was only given one key. How do I aquire a spare?

Recently Ive been having some electrical problems with my Montero and one that trully pisses me of is the fact that my alternator cant keep up with the power demands of my accesories, HID's, Bigger electrical cooling fan and my sound sistem and I was told to fit a bigger alternator on my montero, and I trully don't know scrap about this, can someone help me on this?!?!

I just bought an 80's chevy 4.3l and any getting ready to do the swap it into my 83 montero, I am looking for any info or tips anyone has.

Thank you in advance!!!!!

Hi
please assist me to get rid of check engine light. I am living in Tanzania where code reading is difficult. Everything in the car seem to be normal. The check engine comes after the trip of 2 to 3km. sometimes is dissapears and it doesn't have a similar parten of lighting.
please help me as I fail to trust my local mechanics.
thanks

I have two monteros - one is a 1994 and one is a 1995. The 1995 is far superior in every way except for the engine. I need to do a swap. What, if any, major obstacles will there be? Both trannys are good so i don't mind moving tranny and transfer case with it if necessary.

Our Montero just starting leaking oil from the rear of the motor. I took it to the shop and they said that it was a seal for the camshaft. I have only worked on older model muscle car type engines before, but what they said did not make sense. I would think the cam shafts should be installed from the front and that is there the seal should be, not the rear of the heads.

What else could be leaking in the back of the heads? They said it was not the head gasket or valve cover gasket, so I am at a loss. Thanks,

David

Hi, all

I found on the net following web site www.elcats.ru , www.japancats.ru. Russian web site for catalogue for every car. Some models details are fully visible but for mitsubishi pajero which i'm searched for its requires user registration at site. Its checks with VIN number or you can search for with model details. I think its highly usable for someone who is looking for part numbers and details with images. Actually if you get all parts info you can also search for price but its in russian currency only.

If someone found itis usable please say thank you for me. and if dont understand in russian dont forget to use http://translate.google.com

Any one have a manual with step by step procedure for diagnostics, may be i can return the favour one day.

Hello, new to this site but hoping to get some valuable info here. My first problem is that my starter motor is starting to go in my 92 Pajero LWB. I am desperately seeking an original part number without pulling my own starter to look as it is my only vehicle. Can anyone help me out with that? I am asking as Pajeros are not native to Canada and I imported it from Japan. I can get a starter from any importer but they won't tell me where it comes from and what the brand is. I have a miracle worker of a parts guy that can cross reference anything and has found me a north american eqivilent but I can't be certain until I get an OEM starter number. My truck is a 92 Pajero with the intercooled 2.5 TD on a V44 Chassis, manual tranny.

Thanks so much

Recently my Mitusbishi Pajero IO (same as Montero IO) has started vibrating at low RPM. The engine shakes and you can feel it in the vehicle.

Can anyone assist?

01 Montero overheating @ idle. On my BMW this is indicative of a faulty fan clutch. Is it the same for my montero?

hi all,
i recently have had cooolant dripping from beneath my manual transmission , not much but enough to notice.
i have searched the site and found similar problems relating to orings in the water pump that fail and the coolant runs down the valley and hence onwards to the transmission where it drips to the ground.
i have had the cooling system pressure tested at 15 pounds and nothing happened, but after 45 mins or so a small amount of fluid(coolant ) was visible .but the mechanic was unsure of the actual place it was coming from due to the position of the timing guard,but assumes it could be the pump.
as i accept this as the fault i am curious as to whether 93, 3.0 v6 petrol nh glx pajero's have 4 welsh plugs or is there a 5th one at the rear of the motor that is only accessable when gearbox or motor is removed.
i do have a manual but it doesnt state how many there are only images of 2 either side of the power plant .
so does anyone know how many welsh plugs these models have ??

regards gibson

Recently i used my 4wd in high range and as i was driving there was a sound coming from under the car like a grinding noise but not rough, like something was grinding but softly, there was no notable diference in the acceleration or braking engine was acting normal, as i went faster the noise got louder.

I cheked everything under the car and there wasnt anything rubbing against anything i could see, may I add that when I engage 4wd only the Wheel Lock light comes on, and the light which depicts the four wheels doesnt light up, i can feel the 4wd on but as i was going up a muddy hill, somebody next to it pointed out that my right front tire, wasnt spinning but all other 3 where, and I know the front and rear axles on my Montero are limited slip, the rear wheels where both spinning and the front wheel never moved under it's own power.

Since my Montero is a GEN 1 1991 4dr 3.0 the dash display for the 4x4 is different there are two lights, as soon as you put the 4x4 lever towards the 4h or 4L the light that depicts 4 wheels and the transfer case, is supposed to light up, when you start moving the wheel lock light turns on letting you know that the front axle is engaged.

This is really bothering if anybody can help me it will be much apreciated!

thank you!

I do own a 1998 model Mitsubishi Pajero io. For sometimes now (Past two weeks) the horn has been going off for no reason without pressing anything. Sometimes while driving off the road or on the traffic queue. Today morning after inserting the key it goes off continuously disturbing and working up the neighbours. I have temporarily disconnected the horn by removing the fuse. How do I solve this problem in the long term?

I've been fixing up my Montero and put a full sound system in there: component speakers up front, coaxials in the rear, 4channel amp to power the speakers, 12" subwoofer and another amp to power it, double din stereo with screen/dvd etc. Basically no more stock crap in play.

If you do a search you will see my many post regarding audio in the Montero, there seemed to be none til I got in, so hopefully those and this post will help other owners who want to make their ride even better.

After a recent long drive with passengers, I've been contemplating if I should put headrest LCDs. Well I just jumped in and got it.

First lets show you the pictures..



Wait is this the wrong picture? Nope its not.. These are stealth approved so when not in use like they are not there..





They are not real leather, but synthetic. Flows well with the vehicle, not as shiny as our seats, but unless you look hard or take a picture with flash as you see in the last picture, it is hardly noticible.

Each headrest has its own DVD player with Sony laser. So I have the dvd player up front and the video output from there to the input of the LCD headrests. However, if the people in the back want to watch their own movie, they can do so. There are also built in speakers. Also IR headphones are included, so people can listen to the DVD they are playing while the people up front watch their own. If your main deck has a separate audio output for rear section (meaning you can separate what the front and rear listen to) the LCD headrest also has audio input which will also transmit to the included IR headphones.

There is a USB slot, and SD card slot for those type of media. It plays mp3s, dvix, etc.

The poles adjust, and adjust fine to our vehicles.

The only problem is the tabs do not stick to whre you raise the headrest up. It will just slide back down. It's not a problem as the headrest are tall enough at its lowest position to support most heads.

The screen is 7" widescreen.

It also includes games! There is a disc of 1000 games, from classics like Mario, etc. Most nintendo games, and a few generic 32bit games. It comes with 2 wireless game controllers and 2 hybrid remote/game controllers (the remote controller turns sideways and acts as a game controller)

As for the install, I did everything myself and I'm use to installing these things so it was fairly straight forward. I ran the wires down the seats, you wont see any wires running.

I'll add more on the review.

hi i have a 1999 pajero io 4g93 1.8 and the today i replaced the coils because they snapped when changing spark plugs and all of a suddeen when driving when i put the foot doen it starks to back fire and struggle can anyone help me with this problem

Hi,

i've got a Pajero iO 99' GDI engine, manual gearbox. everything runs fine.. however, i want to upgrade the ignition system by installing a MSD Ignition System (i think a DSI). but i'm not sure if those systems will work on GDI engine. the webpage didn't have enought information, so i was wondering if someone have working experience with msd systems? if it works, wich msd product and accesories are needed for my pajero ?


thanks

I have a 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Ltd. The in-car readout of the outside temperature has gone to --- and will not display the temperature. Does anyone know where the the outside temperaturesensor is? Could it be this simple? Other factors - The display at the top of the center stack will no longer cycle to the graphic of where the in-cabin airflow is (when the dial is set to AUTO for temperature control) Is there any control box or electronics for this under the shift selector? My wife spilled coffee there once, other than that, I can't think of anything else that has happened. Any advice to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've temporarily inherited a 2 Litre petrol Pinin on a 53 plate (uk) and I accidentally shorted out the cigarette lighter when my phone/nav charger decided to fall apart while I was removing it from the 12v dash socket. Its left me with no power to the cigar lighter and the dashboard display is now also not working. I've gone through every fuse in the fusebox in the engine compartment and they are all ok.
I have'nt got a clue where else to look.
Any idea's anyone.

Thanks

Hi all,

Plz reply on major things that differ each make from other ...

Thanks ... sAm

I live in Anguilla BWI where there is not a single good honest mechanic.
I recently imported a 2000 Pajero IO from Japan with 26,000 miles.
The car ran great for two months and then suddenly stalled in traffic, the engine did not stop, I just could not get it to rev up beyond idle speed when I stepped on the pedal. I got someone to "reprogram" the computer and the car ran great for two weeks, then the same thing happened, the same mechanic came, "reprogramed" the computer and the car runs great. The mechainic says it is either a speed sensor or a accelerator pedal sensor.
Please help, what is going on?

Hi,

I own a 1999 pajero io gdi, i recently experienced my io sort of miss firing, it has little or no power ad would even cut off. Mechanic thinks it might be the ignition coils.
Any idea what might be the problem and what would help to solve this.

Also does the io carry the same ignition coils as the mirage 99' 1834cc 1.8 or the mitsubishi galant 99-03, would they all work in a 4g93 engine.

Our 1999 Pajero IO has a flashing orange center Diff light (transfer case).

It flashes orange (slow flashing) as soon as the ignition is on.
It flashes very quickly whenever accelerating above about 30km/h and then goes back to flashing slowly when accelerator is released.

Does not flash when diff lock is engaged (ie. in 4H dl of 4L dl).


light has been flashing since we bought the car which was very recently- not sure if the last owner re-wired anything but the car does have an after market stereo.

Has anyone had the same problem ?

Thanks!

I started getting an intermittent grinding noise in my 2002 Montero Limited a few weeks ago. It only happens when driving steadily at average speeds (~45 mph, never at highway speeds), sounds worse when the brake is applied, and only stops when brought to a complete stop and a small clunk is heard/felt. It seems to be coming from the right front wheel area, so I checked the brakes and found that someone had pushed the brake caliper slider pin through wall of the dust boot, which caused the slider to foul. I replaced the pin, and the problem went away for about a week, then returned. I replaced the entire caliper, and the problem went away for about a week, then returned. Any ideas?

I changed the trans filter on my 97 Montero full size and it seems that the recommended oil amount causes over filling. Anyone gone through this? I put about 5 1/2 quarts in and it's up on the dipstick.

The cruise control on my 97 LS does not work. On/Off switch does not work ( no light at switch). I can't seem to find a fuse that controls the cruise system. Is the cruise protected by a different fuse or relay?

HI all,

Need help for following topic.
Where to check VIN numbers for a pajero which imported from Germany .
did checking on the internet but, most of the sites gives an error.

Actually its JMB0NV4404J000410 and as far i know is made in japan by mitsubishi and its from 1994 or 2004 year. Need to clarify is it really 2004 year. Actually all seats in the car labels i have from 2003,july.

The problem is table which has vin number does not indicates an produced year or any model number.

So please any one can point me good vin report site or tell me this vin number for the year 1994 or 2004.

Thank you all.

Sorry for bad english.

Hi all gurus...
I've just bought a 95 Shogun GLs 2.8d and have no idea about its modus-operandi especially buttons/ lights inside car. Like when should i switch b/w H/M/S shock Absorber system, how to go about R/D, 4WD operation.

Can someone teach me or share any owner handbook/ manual plzzzzzzzzzzz!

Thanks ... sAm

Hi everyone,

I'm new here. Previous 4x4's are Land Rovers (old), HDJ100 Land Cruiser,'new), Merc ML400 (new). Next week I'm taking posession of a 95 SWB 2.8 Pajero; I can't wait! Ive never driven one before, the one I'm buying I've only seen pictures of, but I KNOW that it's going to be great. So WHERE, please, can I get hold of a manual for it?
I've read through all the russian website stuff, which seems to have been largely inaccessible to just about everyone, and I've tried it and I see what people mean about "password doesn't work". I can't believe though that in this day and age there isn't a straighthforward download available.

Any ideas please?

Thanks, Coop

Hello, everyone!

I wanted to get information about Montero Sport AWD 2000 3.0l petrol engine. My car's engine is damaged and i need to replace it. I found engine from junk car, but one problem- it is not from Montero Sport, but from mitsubishi 3000GT. The engine number is the same as my Montero, but i wonder, that it could not fit or work correctly. Can you say me about it? Are they completely the same or have any diference?

Maybe I can get the same 2000 year Montero Sport AWD 3.0l engine from other car? For egzample will the engine fit from older Montero Sport manufactured in 1998? Have it be only AWD car or it could be 2wd too!

Thanks for answering and helping!

At night is the P N R D suppose to be lighted? Don't think mine is at night, seeing if this is normal or if there is a light out.
The indicators on the dash works fine.
