Thank you JoeS for taking the measurement. I have measured my i-Mievs drain again, and left the multimeter connected half an hour to see if the current goes lower after a while. It didn’t. It stayed at 13mA. I have also checked with a door open, to see if the 153mA current was caused by a light...

I lock the car using the switch on a door, or by using the locking lever on each door (together with the door handle) if I have already switched the 12V off. I guess because of a habit, I open all our cars with a key. Couple of times, by somebody else, the i-Miev was locked with a fob, and when...

My i-Miev draws 13mA just sitting, no key in an ignition, no doors open, and no alarm set. It is possible, that some I-Mievs draw less than others. My is 2012. I was curious how that drain compares with other cars. I have tested our 2009 Chevrolet Aveo, and it draws 3mA, that is 4.3 time less...

Here is a summary of the 12V battery charging and discharging two weeks ago. (over one-week period) Charged around 8 hours during the whole week (120V level 1 charger). I keep the main battery at around 70% charge. Drove the car about 40 minutes the whole week combined. Discharge: around 60...

The 12V battery in my i-Miev just died. The battery was one year old, bought by the previous owner from Mitsubishi dealer. I have measured the parasitic drain, and it is 13mA, but it goes higher with a door open. The car does charge the battery when on or being charged. We do only short...

Hi, I got the icarsoft i909 scanner, and it had reset all 7 fault codes for an airbag. The codes were: B1477 IGI (B) Voltage extraordinary low B1476 IGI (A) Voltage extraordinary low UO154 OCM CAN timeout B1506 dr. seat position timeout B1431 FL side ABG squib open B1421 FR side ABG squib open...

I suspect that the lack of use could be the reason for the battery being low. If the slow drain is cumulatively greater than the infrequent charging, the battery will discharge, and if left discharged for a while, the capacity will go down. A battery load test would clarify that. If the car is...

I am not an expert, and I am new to I-Miev as well. My I-Miev has a high drain on the 12V battery. In one week it discharges the battery significantly. I understand that the alarm is partly to be blamed. I lock the car by the switch on the door, and that doesn't set the alarm. I don't lock the...

Thank you Jray3. I have now ordered the iCarsoft i909 scanner. Once it gets here, I will update on the outcome. I love working on cars, and overcoming obstacles.

2012 I-Miev. I took my front seats out for cleaning, and had windows down. I have removed 12V before removing the seats. At the end of the day I had to close the car windows, and the seats were not ready to be put in. I have connected the 12V just to get the windows up. I didn't start or drive...

I have a 2012 I-Miev. in my car, there is only one pump with two outputs, one for the windshield, the second for the rear window. The pump motor is powered by 2 wires. To change the direction of the liquid, they change the polarity to the motor. 2 relays are involved. If you can hear the pump...

I have bought rear shocks for I-Miev on Amayama. It was cheaper than from the dealer. My I-Miev is 2012. I have emailed Amayama the part number I took from the old shocks, they replied with a quote, I have paid them, and they have shipped me new shocks.

The owner manual says, that to charge the 12V battery, it has to be disconnected from the car. My solution is to disconnect only the negative terminal, and charge the battery in the car. (leaving the positive terminal connected). I just make sure, that my charger, which is grounded doesn’t touch...

I have recently bought a 2012 I-Miev. The car is badly rusted. I have decided not to use it in the winter. I am in Ontario, and it can get cold in the winter. I have noticed, that the main battery doesn't have any noticeable discharge with the car parked. The 12V battery when disconnected, also...
