Power Transistor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Mitsubishi Pickup, 1995 Mitsubishi Galant, 1995 Mitsubishi Expo, and 1995 Eagle Summit Wagon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- To test the section of the power transistor that controls cylinders No. 1 and 4, disconnect power transistor connector. Using a 1.5-volt dry cell battery, connect negative end of battery to terminal No. 3 of power transistor and positive end to terminal No. 7. See Fig 1.
- Using an analog ohmmeter, check for continuity between terminals No. 3 and 8 of power transistor. Continuity should exist. With positive end of 1.5-volt battery disconnected, there should be no continuity. Replace power transistor if it fails test.
