2000 Mitsubishi Diamante ESSECTION Initialization Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Required Special Tools: 

  • MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
    • MB991824: V. C.I.
    • MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
    • MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A
CAUTION:
  • To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
  • When the learning value for MFI engine is initialized, the initial learning value for engine timing chain elongation is also initialized. Thus, the initial learning value for timing chain elongation must be stored in scan tool MB991958 before working. If the initial learning value for timing chain elongation is not stored and the learning value for MFI engine is initialized, the visual check of the timing chain elongation must be carried out (Refer to TIMING CHAIN ELONGATION VISUAL CHECK ). At that time, if the timing chain elongates more than the specified value, the timing chain can possibly interfere the other parts and damage the engine before the ECM detects the timing chain elongation.
