Frequently Asked Questions
What chassis codes does this manual cover?
The manual covers the first-generation Mitsubishi Challenger across its full production run on the K80, K90, PA, and PAII chassis codes — encompassing both three-door and five-door body styles in all trim levels from GL through GLS.
Is the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport the same vehicle as the Challenger?
Yes. The Mitsubishi Challenger was sold in Australia and some export markets under the Pajero Sport name, and as the Shogun Sport in the UK. All are based on the same K80/K90 platform, so this manual applies equally to those badge variants.
Does the manual include wiring diagrams for the 6G72 engine management system?
Yes. Full circuit diagrams are included for the 6G72 V6 engine management system, ABS, air conditioning, central locking, lighting, and the instrument cluster. Each diagram includes wire color codes, connector pin-outs, and ground locations to support systematic electrical fault diagnosis.
What format is the manual?
The manual is delivered as a PDF file, accessible immediately after purchase on any Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android device. Pages can be printed individually, and the searchable text lets you jump directly to any procedure or system.
