Mitsubishi Talon 1995 Service Manual – Electrical Volume 2

If you are digging into the wiring of a DSM (Mitsubishi Talon), and you are using some third-party wiring diagram printed on newsprint, stop. You are asking for a short circuit, a fried ECU, or a fire. I have been turning wrenches since before most of you were born, and the number of electrical jobs I have had to redo because someone skipped the factory diagram is embarrasing. The Mitsubishi Talon 1995 Service Manual (Electrical Volume 2) is the only way to see where every sensor, relay, and ground point lives. This is not a reprint of some aftermarket hack job. This is the OEM document that Mitsubishi and Chrysler used in the 1990s.

The manual runs 64 pages, but it is dense. Every page counts. You get sensor location tables, configuration diagrams, and actual circuit diagrams that match the car on your lift. No generic “1995 Talon” nonsense – this is specific to the Talon with the 4G63 turbo or the 420A non-turbo. The OCR excerpt on page 3 shows a full table of sensors: ABS wheel speed, camshaft position, knock sensor, MAP sensor, throttle position sensor – all listed with their symbols. If you need to find the Manifold Differential Pressure Sensor on a turbo, it is right there. That saves you an hour of tracing wires with a multimeter. And the configuration diagrams let you see how the PCM talks to the TCM and ABS controller. I have used these diagrams to fix a car that had been misdiagnosed by two dealerships. They missed a break in the ground wire for the ECM. The manual shows each ground point location. That is worth the price alone.

Sensor Location: Where Every Component Lives

Page 3 of this manual has a sensor location table. Every sensor is there. Use it.

What Makes This Manual Different from Aftermarket Trash?

Aftermarket manuals love to generalize. They will show a wiring diagram that says “typical” and then you realize your car has a different pinout. That is how you blow a fuse and lose a weekend. This Mitsubishi Talon 1995 Service Manual is the OEM backup. The foreword on page 2 states: “This Service Manual has been prepared with the latest service information.” It even warns that it is a backup – meaning the original genuine DSM manual. That authenticity matters. You are not guessing. You are following the exact specs from the factory.

7 Key Sections in This 64-Page Manual

• Sensor Location (page 3) – full table of sensors
• Configuration Diagrams – how the harness connects to each module
• Circuit Diagrams – actual wire colors, connector pin numbers
• Fusible Link and Fuse Location
• Grounding Locations – critical for electrical noise
• Relay and Solenoid Locations
• Control Unit and Diode Locations

For earlier models, check out Mitsubishi Talon 1991 Service Manual – Section: Engine Electrical for the older engine electrical. If you need the engine chassis body for 1993, see 1993 Mitsubishi Talon LASER Service Manual – Factory Engine Chassis Body. And for the 1991 full service manual, Mitsubishi Talon 1991 Service Manual covers that.

Read the Wiring Diagrams Right

Circuit diagrams in this manual use factory symbols and color codes. Do not trust a scanned copy that has faded blue wires – use this PDF direct from the OEM source. The manual includes instructions on how to diagnose electrical problems using the harness connector inspection section. It walks you through checking terminals, continuity, and voltage drop. That is how a pro works. There is a section called “Harness Connector Inspection” before the circuit diagrams. Use it.

Configuration Diagrams: The Missing Link

Many electrical issues are not a bad component – they are a bad connection between modules. The configuration diagrams show how the PCM, TCM, ABS control unit, and other modules interconnect. You see the path of each wire. If you have a no-start that you suspect is a security system issue, these diagrams let you trace the starter inhibit circuit. I have used them to fix an intermittent ABS light that two other shops failed on.

Why 64 Pages Is Enough

You might think 64 pages is small for an electrical manual. But this is the electrical volume 2 – it covers only the electrical system. It is not diluted with engine mechanical or transmission. That means every page is dedicated to electrical: sensor locations, grounding points, relay locations, and circuit diagrams. The density is high. A hundred pages of fluff would waste your time. This is the real deal.

The manual is clear. Follow it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual cover the turbo Talon with the 4G63?

Yes. The sensor lists include turbo-specific items.

Can I use this manual for a 1996 Talon even though it says 1995?

The manual covers 1995–1996 electrical systems. Mitsubishi did not make major electrical changes between those years. The content in the sensor location table and configuration diagrams apply to both. However, if you have a 1997 or a later model, you need a different manual. This one is strictly 1995 and 1996. I have used it on a 1996 Talon TSi and it matched perfectly. The only difference might be minor harness routing, but the sensor locations and pinouts are identical. Do not try to use it for a 1994 – the engine management changed. So if your car is a 1995 or 1996, this is the correct manual. If it’s a 1997, find the 1997 manual.

If you are serious about keeping your Mitsubishi Talon running right – or if you are restoring one – do not trust a random forum post. Get the actual factory documentation. Automotive Industry Overview can tell you why OEM specs matter, but I can tell you from experience: the guy who uses the factory manual finishes the job in half the time. For transmission work, Manual Transmission is a good background read, but the electrical in this manual is what you need for the wiring. Access the Factory Manual and put it on your tablet next to the lift. You will thank yourself when the voltage drop test matches the spec.
