Charging troubleshooting guide
E08301500031Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Charging cannot be star-
ted. The electric motor switch is in the ON
position. Before charging, place the electric motor switch in the “LOCK” position.
The traction battery is already fully
charged. Charging cannot be performed if the traction battery is already fully charged. Charging auto-
matically turns off if the traction battery is fully charged.
The temperature of the traction battery
is too high or too low to charge. Confirm the traction battery temperature.
Refer to “Cautions and actions to deal with intense heat” on page
06 and “Cautions and ac-
tions to deal with intense cold” on page 08.
The auxiliary battery is discharged. The traction battery can be charged if the vehicle electrical systems cannot be turned on. If the battery is discharged, charge or Emergency start the auxiliary battery. Refer to
“Emergen-
cy starting” on page 7-02.
The vehicle has a malfunction. The vehicle or charger may have a malfunction. Confirm if the warning lamp on the meter is illuminated. Confirm if the indicator on the charger is indicating a malfunction. If a warning
is displayed, stop charging and contact a

MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Regular charging cannot
be started. There is no electrical power coming
from the outlet. Confirm that there has not been a power failure. Make sure the breaker is on. If an outlet with
a timer device installed is used, power will only be available at the time set by the timer.
Confirm if the Ready (green) indicator on the control box is illuminated.
The charge connector is not connected
correctly. Confirm the charge connector is connected correctly.
