The videos are in either 8mm, VHS or CD format. Click Here to perform a global search for all material available for a specific vehicle. Downloading an entire service manual or database of TSBs is not available.

All of the information mentioned above is only available for Mitsubishi passenger cars and light-trucks (including SUVs) that were sold in the United States.

2. Do you have paper manuals and TSBs for sale ?
  Yes. The printed material is available through our fulfillment partner, Helm,Inc. You can contact Helm on their web site, or contact them by phone at: 1-800-782-4356.
3. Can I purchase any technical training material ?
  Yes. As with service manuals, the training material is available for purchase as well. We offer Training Videos, Student Learning Guides, Modules, and Tests. Visit our Site Map page for more details.
4. How do I obtain a Mitsubishi Scan Tool?
  You may contact the SPX-OTC Tool Company, or call them at 1-800-533-5338.
5. Do you offer a discount for a 1-year membership to your site?
  Yes.  You will find our subscription rates on the Member Benefits page.
6. Are there any other Special Tools that I can purchase?
  Mitsubishi Special Tools are available for purchase through the SPX-OTC Tool Company. Please call them at 1-800-533-5338.
7. How current is your information on this web site ?
  The database is updated as material becomes available. The EPA and CARB agencies require all U.S. automotive manufacturers to provide updates within a 48-hour period.
8. Why do I have to pay to become a member ?
  A paid subscription will provide you unlimited access to all of the data stored at this web site.  You can receive a substantial savings if you sign up for a monthly or yearly membership.
9. Are other automotive companies offering the same information ?
  Yes and No. All automotive manufacturers that sell cars in the United States are required by the governing agencies to provide the same information to independent repair shops as for the their dealers. Some of our competitors are offering more material since it may be readily available.  EPA and CARB are only requiring automotive manufacturers to offer material for all vehicles equipped with the OBD-II diagnostic equipment. Most OBD-II vehicles have been produced since 1996. But there are some from the 1995 model year that are equipped with OBD-II.
10. If I'm working on a 1992 Mitsubishi Galant, is that information available here ?
  Some of the information that relates to the older vehicles will be included in our database.  Most likely you would find information for a 1992 Galant. If you perform a "Global Search", you will be able to see a list of all available material for the model/year you selected.
11. What happens if my shop moves, has a new e-mail address, or I want to change my User ID?
  Please visit our Update Account page and make changes to your shop address, email address, user name, or even your password.
12. Can I renew or upgrade my account before the current subscription runs out?
  Yes, you will be able to sign up for more time. For instance, if you have a weekly membership, you can choose to start a 6-month membership using the same account. If you sign up early (such as 2 days before your expiration), the system will add 6 months to the time you have remaining on your current subscription.
13. What does it mean to search for a "Specific Service Information Element" on the Service Information Search Page?
  Mitsubishi service information is searchable and viewable in an information packet called a "service information element", or SIE for short. SIEs are used in both service manual data and technical documents. An SIE can be as small as 1 paragraph or as large as a 20 page diagnostic trouble code procedure. Each SIE has a long alpha-numeric code applied to it. When you position your pointing device (mouse, trackball, etc.) over the underlined SIE name, the SIE code displays. You can use this code to go directly from the Service Manual Search screen or Technical Document Search screen to the exact piece of information you are looking for.
14. How does the "Clear Selections" button work on some of the search pages?
  When you press any "Clear Selections" button on any search page, it will clear all search criteria that has been entered.  Then you can start a new search for the necessary material.
15. What type of computer equipment should I have? Also, what version of a Web Browser do I need to use?
  PC - The minimum requirements that we support are:
> Pentium III - 500mhZ processor or faster
> 64mb RAM or higher
> 15" or 17" monitor set to 1024x768 screen resolution is preferred
MAC - The minimum requirements that we support are:
> G-3 with 450mhZ processor or faster
> 64mb RAM or higher
> Monitor settings to 1024x768 screen resolution
Web Browsers - The minimum requirements that we support are:
> Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher
> Netscape Navigator 6.0 or higher
16. Why do some of the Technical Documents take a long time to open or download?
  Most of the documents found on this web site are in HTML format. However, some documents are only available in Adobe PDF format. These PDF documents may be very large and will take a longer period of time to open, especially if you are connected on a dial-up modem.
17. Why do some service manual documents not have links between pages or service groups?
  Some of the older service manual material was not available in a format that could include links. Most of the manuals offered have links built into the file so you can easily move around to different service groups.
18. What happens if I lose or forget my User ID or Password?
  Our site includes a page that you can use to request a password or user id that can you have forgotten. Please refer to the Password/UserID request page for assistance.
19. Which Mitsubishi vehicles do you support within this web site?
  This web site provides service repair information for all passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs that were originally sold in the United States. If you are repairing vehicles outside of the U.S., you will have to contact a Mitsubishi dealer in your area or country.
20. After signing up I didn't find the material I needed to fix my car, can I have a refund?
