    Charge flap actuator repair

    Nice job! I hope I never need it, but glad to have the information if I do.

    Will this 240v charging cable work?

    I have a similar one from Amazon. Any Level 2 charger should charge the car in about 3.5 hours.

    Suggested All Weather Mats for 2023 Outlander PHEV?

    I don't have the bill anymore but I believe they were the "FloorLiner" , regular, not HP. I only bought the front liners, back seat passengers are rare. 2018 was the first year in Canada so they may not go further back.

    Suggested All Weather Mats for 2023 Outlander PHEV?

    I bought WeatherTech mats for my 2018. They are the waterproof tray style and fit like a glove. Not the cheapest though.

    False Advertising - Class Action Lawsuit

    That triggered my interest, so I did spend a few minutes googling "PHEV ICE running in cold weather in Norway". I didn't get any hits from Norway, but the search turned up a blog from Sweden. The entry was from 2016, here are some excerpts: "....I had had my Outlander in garage overnight where...

    False Advertising - Class Action Lawsuit

    I fully understand your disappointment as I am in the same situation. My 2018 did not force-start the ICE in the first winter either. It was a design (software) change by Mitsubishi, done after I had already owned the car for many months that gave me this "feature". Any research we could have...

    B0 to B5

    I usually hover my foot over the brake pedal, just in case, while I wait for the car in front to pull away. Luckily this situation is not frequent enough to get anyone car sick! It happens most in the "fast" lane of the highway and a good indication that I should move to the right where traffic...

    B0 to B5

    Another reason to select B5 is unrelated to regen efficiency - quicker braking when you are in stop and go or busy traffic (especially if you don't have ACC/FCA). With full regen, just the act of releasing the accelerator starts braking a fraction of a second sooner. The overall reaction time is...

    What CAN I tow with PHEV

    I have the OEM trailer hitch . I mainly wanted it to mount a bike carrier, but I was surprised that it has a 2" receiver. That size is usually associated with Class 3 hitches which go well above 3500 lbs. I suspect the OEM hitch is quite capable of 1500kg, but for some reason Mitsubishi decided...

    2018 Canadian PHEV wont run in ev.

    I'm in the same boat. First winter in 2018 was fine, EV most of the time, I just had to make sure not to turn on the heater. Now it's lots of cold starts where the ICE barely warms up. It's at 56,000 km and 78% battery SOH. I read an article where someone in Europe was claiming PHEV's contribute...

    Some cosmetic upgrades for 2018 Outlander PHEV

    I recently was browsing on Amazon and happened across some silicone wedding bands. It turns out that a women's size 4 ring fits the radio knob quite well. Ring size 4 has an internal diameter of 14.8mm and the stock knob in my car has a 15mm diameter. Now it is much easier to grip and turn. The...

    Check engine lite code p0a45

    Google says: "P0A45 OBD-II: Drive Motor "B" Position Sensor Circuit The hybrid control module uses sensors to determine the position of the hybrid motor's internal components. If the hybrid control module determines there is a fault in the position sensor, the engine control module will set...

    The fuel consumption of the PHEV and how I decrease it.

    As long as it's not too cold and the battery is not fully charged, putting it in Charge Mode usually makes it switch to parallel mode. I do that going up hills on the highway since it keeps the ICE from revving too high. It doesn't actually charge much uphill as most of the ICE power goes to...

    J1772 handle problem

    I've got a Duosida as well for my 2018 PHEV, and it's also much tighter than the 120V Mitsubishi one. It has gotten somewhat easier to connect with a few years of usage. I tried sanding the outer housing at one point but I don't think it helped much. I didn't find a way to work on the internal...

    Japanese text on MMCS screen

    Sounds like it it's not booting up properly, maybe the memory was corrupted somehow. Just for fun you could try Google Translate with the camera on your phone to translate the Japanese to English, then search that error message.

    Canada Service Schedule

    My 24k service was $422, However, it did not include an overnight battery check. I don't think my dealer has ever checked the battery, and probably doesn't know how. It was the usual oil change and heavy on the drivetrain inspection, plus brake service. I think my dealer likes working on brakes...

    Let's stop ICEheat, when cold...

    Based on comments here it would seem that Mitsubishi made a software change to North American vehicles in late 2018 or 2019. I bought my 2018 SE model (Canadian) in late summer 2018 and in the first winter I was able to drive in below 0C temperatures easily without the ICE starting. I'm not sure...

    ICE Startup Parameters In Cold Weather?

    I have the same situation as you kpetrov, 2018 Canadian model, and I find close to 0C and below, the ICE can't be prevented from starting. It does seem that if I pre-heat for 10-20 minutes, it had less tendency to start. I don't know why, but I'm guessing the pre-heating also has an effect on...

    Android Auto Samsung Galaxy A50

    I recently did the upgrade for the Galaxy A50 to Android 10. Sure enough it broke the Remote Control app. The app would appear to connect, but would stay red which means no communication. The phone showed it was connected to REMOTE34---- with no internet, which seemed proper, but the app was not...

    First Service and RECALL

    Service of my 2018 at 25k was about $420. No mention of any battery work though, just a lot of inspections, air filter, cabin filter and an oil change. They did the cold weather relay recall at my last service which was just a minor oil change one. The warranty and maintenance manual never...
