Good point, as his trailer 'hitch' installation is a kluge and not a proper Torklift like I have on my i-MiEV. Added that to my list of things to look at. Thank you.

Mickey S70, thank you for this. That's the diagram I started with. Interesting to see the additional information in that manual. My next step is to positively determine that the stop light signal is getting to the ASC-ECU pin 30. The brake light switch and the brake lights are working just...

My neighbor has a 2012 i-MiEV ES with CHAdeMO. Car has 80,000 miles. 12v battery fairly new and good. The main battery is fully charged, but RR=28 at 16 bars. Haven't checked its capacity. A very large branch fell across his driveway and he had his daughter back down to it and he hitched a...

NOCO Long Term Update - So Far, So Good Been running the little 8Ah Noco LiFePO4 for about a year total (excluding the downtime using a very different 12v scheme when my OBC was out) in my daily-driver i-MiEV in our mild San Francisco Bay climate. Simply put, nothing has happened as the voltage...

Any hiccup (such as prematurely seeing turtle) would be reason to take it to Mitsubishi and get on record with the problem BEFORE July 13. Unfortunately, Mitsubishi has taken the position that if the main battery can charge fully to 16 bars then they claim the rest is normal degradation. If the...

Patti, I would replace the 12v battery immediately (like TODAY) and if there is any sign of turtle or inability to charge to 16 bars or recharge the 12v battery (dashboard warning) then get it to the Mitsu dealer ASAP as the July day you bought your car might be important for a main battery or...

Aw, jray3, I wouldn't be too hard on Tesla as, after thinking about all the alternatives, I think that their solution is rather elegant, if not ingenious. I mean, if you have a Tesla you just pull the plug out and stick it into your car. If you have a CCS vehicle you quickly enable that...

An older lady with an i-MiEV has the fatal OBC/dc-dc failure and her car does not have CHAdeMO. I have an OBC but unfortunately at this point in time I am unable to install it for her. I've loaned her one of my i-MiEVs in the meantime. Looking for someone in the SF Bay Area to swap out the OBC...

Normally this post would end up being deleted as spam, but I would like to offer a challenge to the poster: Develop a plug-and-play OBC/dc-dc for the Mitsubishi i-MiEV (all years) and offer it for a reasonable price (e.g., <USD$1000) You may just have some customers...

miggols99, thank you for this. Google Translate didn't provide much information, but I found this Wiki which covers both the Nissan Sakura and the Mitsubishi eK-X EV - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Sakura Hey, it's a foot shorter and 4" narrower than our North American i-MiEV...

"...electric utility that insists on reverse-in parking in the name of safety." https://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=46090#p46090 Interesting to know who/what prompted the utility to mandate this. I would think that it would be cheaper for them to mandate purchasing electric cars with aft...

Reecowvee, thank you for posting this. Yes, hope someone on this forum picks up this piece of what is now history.

Daniel11, in the past, one of the prerequisites by Mitsubishi for a main battery warranty replacement was the inability to charge to 100%. Do you have access to an OBD2 Bluetooth dongle and an app (e.g., CaniOn or OBDZero using Android OS) in order to verify the charge level of each of the...

(Saving this post as placeholder) Continuing to slowly add information to each of the above apps, as inputs roll in. Welcome inputs so we can keep updating each app's information, especially from the app developers - just post them in this thread and I will incorporate into the appropriate app...

So, my friend brought his 2019 Leaf over with his battery sitting at 351vdc. We fired up the Setec V2H and it was still operating at that voltage which was below the voltage I had my i-MiEV at, so that 'low voltage disconnect' theory went out the window. Separately, I was told second-hand but...

Lez, welcome to the forum. There are at least a couple of links for the Workshop Manual(s) listed in our Tech/Reference Articles subforum - https://myimiev.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=19

MickeyS70, thanks for your thoughts. I'll have my friend bring over his Leaf again with a low SoC and use LeafSpy to quantify the voltages and verify that the Leaf still powers the V2H below 360vdc, as I agree with you and still suspect that LVP is kicking in. I had suggested this to Setec, but...

Kenny (kiev), thank you for the information. A few years ago I had tried to purchase a new one of those Japanese Power Boxes but they had been discontinued. This one you referenced on Yahoo Auction is already gone, but I've spent too much money already to pursue it. I like how you describe the...

CZeroOwner, I incorporated your above post into the OBDZero app discussion here. Opened this topic for further discussions relating to this PID.

In Japan, the i-MiEV became famous after the Fukushima earthquake for providing emergency backup power using its CHAdeMO port, demonstrating that it was bi-directional. Over the years on this forum we've touched upon this subject a number of times, with various links to a small Japanese...
