Some Mitsubishis their fault codes can be read this way:
diagnostic with LED/CEL light methods for Mitsubishis -yet - to be added
Fault codes specific to Mitsubishis - yet to be added --
This system is called obd1 and applies to most vehicles made before 1995 for domestics and 1993 on imports.
On board diagnostic (OBD) was designed on vehicles equipped with electronic fuel injection so you can generally retrieve the codes yourself.
The paper clip method is bridge only two pins at the diagnostic plug
One is the earth wire----- the other reads the ECU direct (you must know which pins to bridge .some vehicles use different pins)
one of the pins in any diagnostic plug is 12 volts so earthing that one pin is to be avoided
diagnostics
with the correct pins bridged you have no accessories
and turn the key to on so the dash lights show ----- never start the car
wait for the light to flash
reading the code
count long flash as a ten and a short flash as a digit
Counting the codes being flashed is almost the same for these vehicles and most of the codes can be erased or cleared by disconnecting the battery negative terminal for 1 minute and reconnect.
Or you can remove the EFI computer Fuse (Engine Bay)
Make sure to check your service manual in case you have electronic equipment such as radio or clock that needs a code or reprogramming in which battery disconnection is not recommended. Finally after performing repairs on the culprit code, always go for a road test to confirm if the problem is fixed.
