Hi,
I’ve had a nagging issue with the Vehicle Stability Assist warning light. Frequently, when starting my car, the warning light engages which may (or may not) turn off my SVA feature. Then, when the car is off, the VSA resets itself and goes back to normal mode. But the next day, or a few times a week, it re-engages in the problem of disabling the VSA automatically. My local dealer service department have tried running diagnostics, replacing sensors and the last one was the SVA pump. The issue has lasted over 2 years. Having tried 3 fixes (two of them being the same sensor) it still has not resolved. They are at loss and because they don’t have any knowledge of what to do next and electric cars have their own inherent learning curve, they seem reluctant to continue and more keen on dropping the issue altogether. They keep informing me they have looked to Mitsubuishi headquarters and forums but have found nothing to help them resolve this. I finally have come to think maybe I need to dig deeper on my own thus I thought of you and your relative expertise. I have asked them many times if they have seen or heard of other i-MiEV cars experiencing the same and they say no. Anyone heard or seen this issue arise in the i-MiEV cars? If so, I’d love to have your input and advice on what I may be able to accomplish here back at home.
