    Vehicle For Sale For Sale 2012 ES in W.PA. 27,800 miles

    If you expand the first picture, the release lever is visible on the floor next to the driver’s seat, so this car does have CHAdeMO. Title of the thread says western PA. I’d pick it up if I had somewhere to park it.

    Why is everything coming on when hook up charged 12v battery

    The charger is under the floor behind the rear seats. Open the rear hatch, lift up the carpet, and remove the metal cover. It’s the box on the left side near the coolant reservoir. Mitsubishi’s insane pricing for replacement parts is why there’s a detailed thread on repairing the charger, and...

    Why is everything coming on when hook up charged 12v battery

    That’s likely a blown MCU fuse for the on-board charger. The red battery light means the 12 volt battery isn’t charging, so better keep a trickle charger on the 12 volt battery and not drive the car right now (or just disconnect the 12 volt). In all likelihood, this is your original problem and...

    And we can still use the China cabinet!

    That’s cool. Glad you were able to get one. I tried my local dealer a few years ago as their’s was shoved into a corner and had an inch of dust on it. A week later it was gone, having supposedly gone back to corporate.

    Why is everything coming on when hook up charged 12v battery

    So, it appears that the front marker lights, high beams, fog lights, and ABS module all immediately powered up. I've had low and depleted 12 volt batteries on both of my cars numerous times, and the most I've had happen was the alarm go off when power was reconnected. This seems to be more than...

    OK to replace one tire in the front?

    It's not something I can recommend doing for safety reasons (grip differences could cause the car to pull hard to one side under heavy braking or steer unevenly), but as long as the tire is the same size with similar tread depth, the car won't really know or care. If the tire's actual...

    Arctic cold -> MiEV gear shifter problems + a hack to endure them

    Yep. As you found out, there are three cables dealing with the shifter. 1. From key switch to gear selector 2. From Brake Lever to gear selector 3. From gear selector to gearbox/gear switch.

    Canion

    Using a file browser (Samsung My Files in this case), I tap on Internal Storage and in the main directory, there is a folder called BT_CAN with CaniOn's data.

    OK to replace one tire in the front?

    In that case, I'd try to make both fronts match brand. From personal experience, the Continental's have great rolling resistance but almost no traction.

    Canion

    Confirmed to be functional in Android 14 on a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. Connected and worked without issue, though the square-ish inner display clipped some of the text. Reducing text size in the app settings mostly resolved this.

    I wouldn't think so.

    Tech/Reference Articles

    To add to this, my YouTube channel has videos of various i-MiEV tidbits. I had changed the links to a different video system (LBRY) a few years ago and haven't changed them back yet, but will be updating them soon. In the meantime, the collection of videos can be found in the Mitsubishi i-MiEV...

    2012 I-MiEV in Western PA.

    There's no real difference between 120 volt or 240 volt charging as far as the battery's health is concerned, but I have noticed that it does influence pack temperature slightly, so I take advantage of it. It's more of a power user tip to enable slightly more performance from the car and not...

    Canion

    I also messaged the developers to see if they have any updates on the status of the project. They are both members here but haven't been active for a while. Joe, sorry to hear about your collection going missing. Hopefully you find everything.

    Canion

    Version 152 (appears to be the last version) opens on my Galaxy Fold running Android 14. It seems to respond to input just fine, though I haven't tested it while connected to the car yet. I previously used it with my cars on an older version of Android (12 if I remember correctly) on this same...

    2012 I-MiEV in Western PA.

    Charging to 100% every night is fine, but I wouldn't leave it fully charged for more than a day or two. The i-MiEV is quite conservative with the battery, with 100% charge being just over 4.1 volts per cell, where normally 4.2 volts is considered fully charged for lithium ion. Most of us...

    Our Gas Free Miles Travelled

    Phximiev, if you noticed a sudden drop in range with the car sitting, take it for a highway drive and then check for a warm wheel. I found I had a stuck brake pad eating away at the range.
