Mitsubishi Keyless Entry & Power Door Locks

Diamante

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

On Diamante, power door locks are controlled by driver or
front passenger switches which send signals to a Electronic Timer
Alarm Control System (ETACS) module. The ETACS module sends
appropriate signals to individual door lock actuators through
individual relays.
The following features are incorporated in power door lock
systems that have an ETACS module:

* Once locked door is closed, system will unlock door if key

remains in ignition switch.
* Continuous switching between lock and unlock of door will
disable system for approximately one minute.
* Doors automatically lock once vehicle exceeds 12 MPH.

Diamante offers optional keyless entry system. Use of a 2

button portable remote control operates door locks within a range of
33 ft. (10 m). Dome light flashes twice once doors are locked and
illuminates for 3 seconds when doors are unlocked. If after 30 seconds
door(s) have not been opened when unlocked with keyless entry system,
doors will relock.
Diamante uses a switch, located on driver’s dash, that
activates a solenoid which releases the trunk lid. Trunk release can
be disabled with ON/OFF switch located in glove compartment (valet
security).

TROUBLE SHOOTING

POWER DOOR LOCK INOPERATIVE

Operate door lock(s) with ignition switch in OFF position. If
door lock(s) do not operate, check for following possible causes:

* Burned fuse, circuit breaker or fusible link caused by short

to body ground.
* Wire connector or pin inside connector disengaged at any
connector or component in system.
* Defective ETACS module (if equipped).
* Defective door lock switch, relay or actuator.
* Subfreezing weather conditions, mechanical failure or
corroded or misaligned assemblies.

KEY REMINDER SYSTEM INOPERATIVE

With key inserted in ignition switch, lock driver’s or
passenger’s door and close door. If door locks do not unlock, check
for following possible causes:

* Defective key reminder switch or no input signal to ETACS

module.
* Defective front door switch or no input signal to ETACS
module.
 * Defective vehicle speed sensor or no input signal to
ETACS module.

TESTING
NOTE: If after all testing procedures are completed system is not
functioning properly, substitute ETACS module with known
good unit and retest. ETACS module is located in front of
shifter, under console.

INPUT SIGNAL
1) Access data link connector at lower left corner of dash.
Connect positive lead of voltmeter to terminal No. 9 and negative lead
to terminal No. 12. See Fig. 1. Check if input signals from system
components are being received by ETACS module.
2) Voltmeter needle should sweep when each switch is operated
(i.e. headlight switch or pop-up switch). If switch or related
component is not functioning, voltmeter will not operate when switch
is activated. Check related circuit and/or component.

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR

1) Access left front or right rear door lock actuator. See
DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect harness
connector. Set actuator to LOCK position. Connect positive lead of 12-
volt power source to terminal No. 1 of actuator. See Fig. 2. Actuator
should operate to UNLOCK position when terminal No. 3 is connected to
negative lead.
2) With actuator set to UNLOCK position, connect positive
lead of 12-volt power source to terminal No. 3 of actuator. See
Fig. 2. Actuator should operate to LOCK position when terminal No. 1
is connected to negative lead.
3) Access right front or left rear door lock actuator. See
DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect harness
connector. Set actuator to LOCK position. Connect positive lead of 12-
volt power source to terminal No. 3 of actuator. See Fig. 2. Actuator
should operate to UNLOCK position when terminal No. 1 is connected to
negative lead.
4) With actuator set to UNLOCK position, connect positive
lead of 12-volt power source to terminal No. 1 of actuator. See
Fig. 2. Actuator should operate to LOCK position when terminal No. 3
is connected to negative lead.
5) On left or right door lock actuator, there should be
continuity between terminals No. 2 and 4 when actuator is in UNLOCK
position. There should be no continuity in LOCK position. Replace
actuator if it fails any preceding tests.

DOOR LOCK POWER RELAY

NOTE: Following testing applies to door lock power relay "2" for
keyless entry systems.

Check continuity of relay using following chart. See Fig. 3.

Replace relay as needed. For relay location, see Fig. 4.

KEYLESS CONTROL UNIT

NOTE: If after all testing procedures are completed system is not
functioning properly, substitute keyless control unit with
known good unit and retest.

Disconnect keyless control unit harness connector. Control

unit is located under rear shelf, accessed through trunk. Using DVOM,
measure voltage between selected terminal and vehicle ground. See
INSPECTING KEYLESS CONTROL UNIT VOLTAGE table. See Fig. 5. If voltage
is not within specification, inspect and repair circuit as needed. See
appropriate chassis wiring diagram in the WIRING DIAGRAMS section.

POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL UNIT

1) Turn ignition on. Using DVOM, backprobe terminal No. 1
(Blue wire) of left control unit. See Fig. 5. If voltage measured
between terminal No. 1 and ground is battery voltage, go to next step.
If voltage is not within specification, go to step 3).
2) Disconnect left control unit harness connector and measure
voltage between harness connector terminal No. 1 and ground. If
voltage is less than battery voltage, inspect and repair circuit
between ETACS harness connector terminal No. 52 (Blue wire) and left
control unit harness connector terminal No. 1. If battery voltage
exists, replace left control unit.
3) Disconnect ETACS harness connector. See ETACS MODULE
LOCATION table. Disconnect both left and right front door control unit
harness connectors. Using ohmmeter, check for continuity between
terminal No. 1 of left control unit and vehicle ground. If continuity
exists, inspect and repair short to ground. If continuity does not
exist, go to next step.
4) Connect ETACS harness connector. Using DVOM, measure
voltage between left control unit harness connector terminal No. 1 and
ground. If battery voltage does not exist, replace ETACS module and
retest. If battery voltage exists, go to next step.
5) Connect right door control unit harness connector. Using
DVOM, measure voltage between left control unit harness connector
terminal No. 1 and ground. If battery voltage does not exist, replace
right control unit and retest. If battery voltage exists, replace left
control unit and retest.

TRUNK RELEASE SOLENOID & SWITCH (DIAMANTE)

1) Remove trunk release main switch from glove compartment.
Disconnect harness connector. Using ohmmeter, check for continuity
across switch terminals when switch is in ON position. Replace as
needed.
2) Remove trunk release opener switch from lower driver’s
dash. Disconnect harness connector. Using ohmmeter, check for
continuity across switch terminals when switch is depressed. Replace
switch as needed.
3) Open trunk lid. Disconnect trunk release solenoid harness
connector. Remove solenoid if needed. Connect positive lead of 12-volt
power source to solenoid connector. Solenoid should operate when
negative lead contacts solenoid housing. Replace switch as needed.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory
systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may
exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle.
