The main fuse in the MCU was fine, in both cars

Yes, that's in the original post. Update on black car... 12v batter not being charged by traction battery... So, car not AC charging, but will Chademo, and the traction battery is not charging the 12v DC battery. If i top the 12v up, it still has the red battery sign and '!' sign, but will...

Update silver 2012 car: Main fuse in the MCU is not blown. No fuses under the bonnet/ hood were blown... I checked all of them in each of the three fuse boxes. relays I could not check. I could not connect mu OBD2 scanner today, CannION got the better of me today.

Update: silver 2012 car: Replaced 12v battery with a new one, car starts, goes to ready still, will chademo. AC charging and yellow '!' light remain: down to these two fault codes: U1116 [0xD116] SCP (J1850) Invalid or Missing Data for Electrical Energy Management; KOS CAN timeout/Not...

Thanks Kiev - so how does one charge a car with a completely flat pack then? because that will be needed to progress. I can see if i can read the pack. Canion chart axes were too hard to decipher.

The silver one has been sitting for a while, maybe 3m while the AC failed. Cell voltages were virtually o for many cells, almost 0 for about the other 10... so it is well dead. I assume the chademo didnt work on the silver one because the pack is too flat, and some error codes are related to...

Hi all, not been posting for a while, as have been extremely busy with work. I have two 2012 IMIEVs: both are currently not charging, and I had given my car to my parents, becasue I am now doing a 100 mile round trip every day. So: Imiev 1: 2012 Black standard 16Kw with Chademo - 54K miles...

Hi all, I have a 2012 car with about 22k miles that suddenly went in to limp mode, while circa 30% SOC, and then refused to AC 240v charge. 12V battery was also flat-ish, but the 12v battery itself is new. The car had been sitting for about a week, but it was up and driving. Then it refused...

Hi all, I have noticed on one of my IMIEVs for the past few years (and wore in the cold damp months) that very light pressure on the brake pedal is leading to excessive brake actuation - to the point where it is almost possible to lock (or as far as possible with ABS) the wheels. In summary...

That is sort of interesting, but I don't understand what 'potential low durability' means - they are either low durability or they are not - unless Mitsubishi don't have a handle on their third party supplier quality control in the way Toyota, for example do... That particular issue has brought...

I have 2 of them... 1. Year and mileage on your iMiev: Car 1: 2012, 40,000 miles Car 2: 2012, 21,000 miles 2. OBC failure experience: Car 1: None Car 2: None 3. 12V Battery Condition, Age: Car 1: 1 year +, on second battery - currently a Bosch blue series battery from Costco (Honda...

That is sub-optimal. At least I got a loan car for the two days...a Mitsubishi Mirage... which for all its 3 cylinders, was awful by comparison to the IMIEV. On the plus side, think of all the clean air and great scenery you have for the other 360 odd days of the year.

So, the I went in for a service and the passenger air bag recall. The Mitsubishi service engineer told me that Mitsubishi allow 2.5 hours for this job, and it took them the entire day. There is no simple passenger air bag access - it required half of the dashboard being taken off. Also, because...

$400 for a battery? thats probably compounded by diagnostic and fitting costs. I expect for that amount they gave the rest of the car (inc the battery) an OK? The Miata battery works, so does the Honda Insight Gen 2 one, though it requires terminal adaptors, as it has the smaller type (some...

there is a low 12v warning alert, i've had that (bit pointless as it rapidly runs the 12v down itself). My 12v suddenly gave up about 2m ago... first job would be to charge the 12v, and check/ replace. Bet that's all it is, you've just come back from a trip. If its over 4-5y of age, i'd just...

All have identical everything other than the drive battery. The Imiev always has a 16kwh battery, the others are 14kwh I believe. After 2012 they have better battery chemistry, but not much difference to be honest. Unsure what your kW figures relate to, but I think it may be the different power...

Good point, I think they all can now that I think about it, though not tried it yet... i'm not within practical range of any place that uses Kms

Some of the UK cars came with the remote - my late 2012 has the remote, but my parents early 2012 does not, and there is indication of a minor face-lift during the 2012 year, relating to Right hand drive cars, so perhaps the Oz cars are more like the UK ones - though there is no betting on it...

Hi and welcome to the forum. As others have said... nothing to do with the car's on board charger or the EVSE charging lead (which would protect the car from any damage anyway). I've had this happen on my own 2012 IMIEV in the UK, also running on 230-240V domestic. As has been said, if you...

Gary, could you PM me when you have these, I may be persuaded to keep a spare for a possible future point.
