Mitsubishi Montero, Pajero, and Shogun

To prevent the doors from locking automatically on a Mitsubishi Montero Sport, you can typically disable the auto-lock feature through the vehicle's settings. Check the owner's manual for specific instructions, as the method may vary by model year. Additionally, some models may allow you to adjust this setting via the vehicle's dashboard menu or through a sequence of button presses. If you're unsure, contacting a dealership for assistance is a good option.

This engine is what they call an "interference" engine. That means unless the valves are closed

when the piston reaches TopDeadCenter they will collide and the pistons will bend the valve,

driving it into both the cylinder heads and piston crowns with devastating results. Your timing belt

is usually rated for 60,000 miles. It may last longer. Waiting for it to fail to save money is not really

a good option as when, (not if) it does fail while in service, your engine will be destroyed.

The wiper arm should have a removable cap at the lowest pivot point where the arm meets the firewall/hood level. With the cap removed there should be a 10-12mm nut exposed that requires loosening and removal to slip the arm off the grooved spindle and re-mount to the readjusted/desired coverage area. Re-tightened once adjusted to to avoid slippage while in operation.

If you just want to replace a broken mast, you just need to get a new antenna mast core from the dealership. The replacement is easily done by unscrewing the lock ring around the antenna on the top of the fender and pulling out the core. You may have to turn on the radio to extend the plastic feeder tread out from the antenna. Then put the new antenna core back in, turn off the radio to wind-up the geared tread, and attach the lock ring.

If you want to replace the whole antenna assembly, then it gets complicated. The antenna assembly can be accessed easily enough by going up through the right front wheel well. You have to remove the wheel and the skirt under the wheel well to get to it. The antenna is removed by detaching a bracket that is secured to the inside body (one or two bolts are easy to remove) and the lock ring on top of the antenna. The problem is that the antenna cable is part of the antenna and you have to remove the radio and parts of the dash around the glove box in order to install a new one. Also be careful with third-party antennas because they may not fit the bracket. There must be an easier solution, but I haven't found one yet.

communication error with engine control modue.( CAN message ).

there is a small module behind the instrument cluster. ck that . I'm surprised you are not having fuel gage problems too.

This vehicle is not yet available in Canada. It is available in southeast asia and is considered a lower priced SUV that is rugged in nature and comparable to a Jeep. There are no price listings available for North America at this time.

my all whell driveshaft went out at 100000 miles and it will make a terrible sound...you must order a new one...they are about 500 dollars...remove the original and put the new one in...just bolts up

Turn the key on but don't start it. and pump the gas pedal 3 times quickly this should turn it off.

Dunno about turning the vehicle off and pumping the gas (Someone's joke I guess). But the instrument cluster has a switch (on the back) on the Speedometer end of the cluster. Switch it up. I was replacing my steering wheel and then decided to try this. I did, and my MAINT REQ light is currently off. Unplug your battery, and remove the steering wheel. The steering wheel was the easiest steering wheel I have EVER removed. There are 4, 10mm nuts on the backside of the steering wheel. That removes the Airbag/center of the steering wheel. With the battery disconnected, unplug the 3 plugs that operate the airbag, remove Airbag/center. Now exposed is a 17mm nut in the center of the steering wheel, remove it. Now simply rock the steering wheel back and forth, side to side while pulling it toward the rear of the vehicle. NO STEERING WHEEL PULLER IS REQUIRED. I've done this twice on two separate vehicles and did not need a steering wheel puller. Now you can remove 3 simple phillip head screws on the dash to expose the cluster. Then you will see 3 more phillip head screws holding the cluster, remove them and then the cluster is free except for what is plugged into it. I unplugged everything to remove the cluster entirely. But now that I know where the switch is I think I could just reach to the backside and flick it up. One REAL BIG KEY HERE. DO NOT TURN THE IGNITION KEY ON TO CHECK THE LIGHT WHITHOUT THE AIRBAG HOOKED UP! Because if you do, the SRS light will come on because it is not reading a valid connection with the Airbag. That's where I am now, trying to figure out how to turn out the SRS light. Anyway, I know that whole operation sounds complicated, but it is not. On a scale of 1-5, i'd rate it a 2 (at the most!). It took me just more than one hour. Having done it twice now, I'd bet I could do it in 40 min or less, no joke. I'm guessin you don't have to remove the steering wheel to get to the instrument cluster, but it was pretty easy. Good luck, I hope this has helped and by all means please post some mechanical information to help someone else so we can all share. Thanks, Brownsoxx

Somewhat following the above info: I removed the two Phillips screws in the front of the speedometer panel and the one between the panel and the windshield(you will need a very short screwdriver for this). The screw is underneath a small rectangular plastic tab. Next, pull the cover forward, you will need to disconnect the wires on the left side of the panel, in my case it was the cruise control switch and three other connectors in the back. Swing the panel over so you can look in the back of it. Next, on the left side of the panel you will find a small, black, slide-type switch. Just reset the switch, put everything back the way it was, and you're done. I didn't have to remove the steering wheel. The actual job takes about 15 minutes. I don't think it can be done without removing the panel. Thanks to the original poster--you saved my butt. I needed to get it smogged and it would not have passed with the "maint" light on. The mechanic I took it to didn't know how to reset the stupid light.

Are you talking about ALL the lights, or just the dash lights? If it is just the dash lights, you might have a bad ground for the dash electronics, or bad connection at the Dash Dimmer control. But if you are talking about headlights, too, check the gound wires on the battery... perhaps wiggle them around until the lights flash. The brake light switch should not do this. It only controls the back lights. if its only the dash lights lighting up when you hit the brake, check the brake bulbs and make sure that they are the correct bulbs. (dual filament) and that the base of the bulbs contacts arent touching

Special Procedure for 1990 monter.

First you ground the No10 terminal on the Computer's Diagnostic port.

Second, you ground the timing wire located on the fireware near the brake master. (it easy to find, its one strand wire with a connecter acting as a cover on it.)

Make sure you have a timing gun, and know how to use it.

Get ready to check idle speed with tachometer tool.

From this point on, its conventional knowledge... Goodluck.

Hi have same problem my Montero 2001 serial 99F60514 model MR563520

I don't know, I wish somebody in the whole world would tell me.

Distributorship of 1994 Montero can be located in most Mitsubishi car dealers worldwide. Montero is a popular sport utility vehicle of Mitsubishi.

The Drum brakes on the rear from memory are self adjusting,but on saying that after about 12mths they seem to forget that point ! Lift the rear wheels off the ground & remove the wheels & then the brake drums. You will see a geared wheel on the adjusting bar ,using a screw driver turn this wheel to open the brake pads about 12 turns then refit the Bake drum & turn the hub there should be a marked differance! If the hub won't turn take the drum off & turn the whell 2 or3 turns the oppposite way or if the hub spins freely open the adjuster several more turns . Do this on both sides. If the break shoes are any thiner than 2mm (1/8th of a inch ) replace them ! The same applies for the front discs these adjust themselves

if its non-turbo then,

Fit a Turbo KIT in it & then you will get: MAX 12-16km/Litre Diesel but only

IF it is perfectly tuned engine with proper air intake system.

while the TURBO compress it becomes HOT, so to install Intercooler KIT is another addition to the system which is excellent idea, but only if you live a very HOT country; 50+ Degree Celsius, otherwise intercoolers are not necessary.

Use get best mileage use a SYNTHETIC oil accordingly to the temperature of your country/city.

10w50 is universal mostly!

but if your country is not so HOT, use 10w40

if your country is cold and goes below -10, use 5w30

You can get a rebuilt starter with the trade in of your old core at any chain auto parts store starting at around $70. They go up in price from there depending if you are buying new and what brand.

Replace the Fuel Pump assembly unit.

Reverse all steps for re-installation of the fuel thank

The transfer case is shifted to either the 4HI or 4LO pos but is not locked in fully or its a malfuncion.

I recently had this happen as well and it was the solenoid valve on the vacuume of the 4 wheel drive. Aamco fixed it great and it is a part that only the dealer carries.
