Mitsubishi Space Star Workshop Manuals and Repair Manuals

To change the brake pads in your Mitsubishi Space Star, start by securing the vehicle on a level surface and engaging the parking brake. Locate the brake caliper and remove the bolts or pins holding it in place. Carefully lift the caliper off the rotor, being cautious not to damage the brake line. Remove the old brake pads from the caliper and install the new ones, ensuring they are properly seated. Before reassembling, it is recommended to inspect the brake rotor for any excessive wear or damage and resurface or replace if necessary. Finally, reattach the caliper, tighten the bolts or pins, and repeat the process for the other side.

To change the oil in your Mitsubishi Space Star, start by placing a drain pan underneath the oil drain plug located on the bottom of the engine. Remove the drain plug using a wrench, allowing the old oil to fully drain out. Once drained, replace the drain plug and proceed to remove the oil filter, making sure to lubricate the gasket on the new filter before installing it. Finally, refill the engine with the recommended amount and type of oil as specified in the manual.

To check and refill the windshield washer fluid in your Mitsubishi Space Star, locate the windshield washer fluid reservoir under the hood, usually near the front of the engine bay. Remove the cap and visually inspect the fluid level, ensuring it is above the minimum mark. If necessary, add windshield washer fluid of the appropriate type until the level reaches the desired mark. It is recommended to use a windshield washer fluid that is specifically formulated for automotive use, as regular water or other liquids may not provide the necessary cleaning properties and can potentially damage the system.

To check and replace the cabin air filter in your Mitsubishi Space Star, start by locating the cabin air filter housing. This housing is typically located behind the glove compartment or under the dashboard. Remove the housing cover by releasing the retaining clips or removing the screws, and carefully take out the old cabin air filter. Inspect the filter for any debris, dust, or signs of damage. If necessary, replace the filter with a new one that matches the size and specifications outlined in the owner's manual. Reinstall the housing cover, ensuring it is securely fastened, and test the HVAC system to ensure proper airflow.

To check and replace the fuel filter in your Mitsubishi Space Star, start by locating the filter, which is usually found along the fuel line, either under the vehicle or inside the engine compartment. Before proceeding, it is essential to relieve the fuel pressure by either disconnecting the fuel pump fuse or relay and starting the engine until it stalls or by using a fuel pressure gauge and releasing the pressure through the valve. Once the pressure is relieved, disconnect the fuel lines from the filter and remove the mounting brackets or clamps securing it. Install the new filter, ensuring the flow direction is correct, and reconnect the fuel lines, making sure they are securely fastened. Finally, test for any fuel leaks and restore the fuel pressure before starting the engine.

To check and replace the spark plugs in your Mitsubishi Space Star, start by locating the spark plug wires or ignition coils. Remove the wire or coil from the spark plug by gently pulling it straight out. Use a spark plug socket and ratchet to remove the old spark plug, turning it counterclockwise. Inspect the spark plug for any signs of wear, such as fouling or electrode erosion. If necessary, replace the spark plug with a new one, ensuring it is properly gapped according to the specifications in the owner's manual. Reinstall the spark plug wire or coil, making sure it is securely connected, and repeat the process for the remaining spark plugs.

To replace a headlight bulb in your Mitsubishi Space Star, start by opening the hood and locating the back of the headlight assembly. Depending on the specific model year, you may need to remove the dust cover or a retaining clip to access the bulb. Once you have clear access to the bulb, disconnect the electrical connector and remove the old bulb by twisting it counterclockwise. Install the new bulb by inserting it into the socket and twisting it clockwise until secure, then reconnect the electrical connector and reassemble any removed parts.

To replace the battery in your Mitsubishi Space Star, start by ensuring the engine is off and the vehicle is in park with the parking brake engaged. Locate the battery under the hood, disconnect the negative (black) cable first using a wrench or socket, followed by the positive (red) cable. Remove any battery hold-down brackets or clamps, then carefully lift out the old battery. Install the new battery by placing it in the tray, reconnect the positive cable followed by the negative cable, and secure any hold-down brackets or clamps. Ensure the battery is securely in place before starting the engine.

To replace the serpentine belt in your Mitsubishi Space Star, start by locating the belt routing diagram, usually found on a sticker under the hood or in the owner's manual. Use a serpentine belt tool or a socket wrench to release the tension on the belt by rotating the tensioner pulley. Once the tension is relieved, carefully remove the old belt from the pulleys, following the diagram for proper routing. Install the new belt by following the same diagram, making sure it is properly seated on each pulley, and release the tensioner to apply tension to the belt.

To reset the maintenance light on your Mitsubishi Space Star, start by turning the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine. Press and hold the trip meter reset button or the odometer reset button (depending on the model) until the maintenance light starts flashing. Release the button and turn off the ignition. When you turn the ignition back on, the maintenance light should be reset, indicating that the maintenance reminder has been cleared. If the light does not reset, consult the owner's manual or seek assistance from a qualified technician.

To reset the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in your Mitsubishi Space Star, start by ensuring all tires are properly inflated to the recommended pressure. Then, turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine. Locate and press the TPMS reset button, often located under

It is recommended to replace the air filter in your Mitsubishi Space Star every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or as specified in the owner's manual. However, if you frequently drive in dusty or polluted areas, it is advisable to inspect and replace the air filter more frequently. A clogged or dirty air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, affecting its performance and fuel efficiency, so regular replacement is crucial to maintain optimal engine performance.

The recommended tire pressure for your Mitsubishi Space Star can usually be found on a sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or in the owner's manual. It is important to follow the specified tire pressure as it ensures optimal handling, fuel efficiency, and tire wear. Remember to check the tire pressure regularly, especially before long trips or when the tires are cold, and adjust accordingly.

For your Mitsubishi Space Star, it is recommended to use a coolant that meets the specifications outlined in the owner's manual. Typically, a high-quality ethylene glycol-based coolant with the appropriate concentration is suitable for this vehicle. It is important to avoid mixing different types of coolant and ensure that the coolant is compatible with the engine's materials to prevent any potential damage or system malfunctions.
