Thanks Mickey That does seem to have done the trick, the car now drives, Hoorah! Unfortunately, it has thrown up another issue, although I am not seeing any more DTCs, it does now have the airbag warning light lit permanently which I guess will fail it’s MOT, tried clearing codes but this did...

Hi Mickey Here is the Misti reference to possible gear lever position sensor issue, [Mod Edit: this link is for PHEV, not valid for miev] https://mitsubishitechinfo.com/data/DGE/2023/03/HTML/N503230670000700USA.htm Unfortunately swapping the part in from the donar has not cured the issue, so...

Hi Kiev Thanks for replying so promptly, you guys must live on this forum ;-) I was hoping it was not a DC-DC converter fault and after more testing this morning a P1A44 DTC seems to be the issue, so hopefully you are correct and the DC-DC converter is fine. It could be a faulty gear selector...

Hi Mike Thanks again for the prompt and helpful response, I have just completed another round of app OBD testing and feel I may finally be getting to the root cause of the issue (or an issue at least). I started by connecting OBD dongle turning on (not drive) and using car scanner to clear and...

Progress at last, after taking a very close look at the low voltage connections to the traction pack I discovered that the CAN connector does indeed have an interlocking mechanism built into the connector and where I had damaged the connector shroud during removal revealed a very small white...

Hi again Mickey Ok pack dropped this morning, measured all cells on one block and they are all at 3.9v, although this does not explain the fault, at least the pack is still where I left it and still in good shape and I can safely say that a dead 12v battery does not deplete the HV pack, I guess...

Ahh, is 2.51v too low for the pack to be charged via the charge port on the car? I do have the kit required to bench charge and balance all cells identical if required, had to do this twice before with my DIY build Honda beat conversion. Was not banking on this though. Am I correct in thinking...

Yes, both mine (donar/driver) have 88 cells, both have the two half sized blocks in the middle.

Hi Gary, thanks for posting, and also for posting great YouTube videos, I only just found you on YouTube and just in the nick of time, you seem to be going thorugh another i-miev repair right now and are looking to source some/a charging/balancing board/s, I may be able to help here as I have my...

Hi Mickey, thaks for following up. Ahh, that makes sense. Yeah, kicking myself for this now, but didnt want to poke around any more than I had to. Right! Got it! Both the donar and the driver are older than 2015 and there is a big lump under the carpet on drivers seat in both cars which sort...

Hi Kiev Thanks for posting. Guessed as much, I knew I had made a mistake as soon as I realised, I had forgotten to disconnect the 12v when pulling the HV disconnect plug (remembered it 1st time removing the pack from the donar car, but forgot this step on the 2nd removal from my "good" car)...

Oh I should also mention that I could not get one of the white retaining clips to slide back into the locked position, would this cause an issue? Are the white clips on the orange connectors near front of pack doing anything electrical? I think they are just mechanical retainers, but the HV...

CMUs? Are these in the HV pack and what does CMU stand for? One of the DTCs definitely said something about HV interlock, what does this mean? I will try and clear and read some more DTCs today and see if that one is still showing.

Hi again Mickey Yes the 12v battery is not good wont hold charge, however I have tried using a better battery with jump leads and a supporting charger, and car scanner reports 13.8 -14v with battery connected and 12v charger running at 12 amps, but still it won’t charge, if carscanner is correct...

Hi Mickey Thanks for replying so promptly, sorry had to take a break from the i-miev and pull my head out of the rabbit hole so to speak, try and step back, take a look outside the box. After spending the last few days getting my head around OBD dongles apps and the like I discovered that caniOn...

Hello EV loving colleagues I have been driving an i-miev since July 2019, love it, unfortunately someone wrote it off in 2021! ☹️ Loved it so much I bought another identical one (AFAIK) and have been driving that until now. Started seeing the turtle recently and it eventually resulted in the...
