2013 MITSUBISHI iMiEV reset

Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Regular charging is dis-
continued. There is no power coming from the out-
let. There may have been a electrical power failure, or the breaker may have failed.Charging will
resume when the power source is reset.
The EV charging cable has been discon-
nected. Check that the EV charging cable has not been disconnected.
The button on the regular charge con-
nector has been pressed. If the charge connector button is pressed for a long period of time, charging will be stopped.
Start the charging procedure again.
The temperature of the traction battery
is too hot or too cold 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.
Charging is stopped by the regular
charge timer. Charging will stop depending on the timer function setting of the regular charge device. If
you need to charge the traction battery more, start the charging procedure again.
Quick charging cannot be
started. The charge connector is not connected
correctly and/or not locked. Check that the charge connector is connected correctly and that it is locked.
The self-diagnostic function of the
quick charge device returns a negative
result. There is a possibility that the vehicle has a malfunction. Stop charging and contact a

The power switch of the quick charger
is off. Check the power switch of the quick charger.
Quick charge is discontin-
ued. Charging is stopped by the quick
charge timer. Charging will stop depending on the timer function setting of the quick charge device.If you
need to charge the traction battery more, start the charging procedure again.
Charging stops at 80% capacity. Charging is designed to stop when the traction battery capacity reaches 80%. If you need to charge the traction battery more than
80%, start the charging procedure again.
The power supply for the quick charg-
er is off. Check whether the power supply for the quick charger is off. Charging

Energy usage indicator
E00529600014
The
consumption power of the electric motor unit
and the air conditioning, and charged power of elec-
tric energy generated from the regenerative brake
are indicated.
When the ready indicator illuminates, the indicat-
ing needle moves to the standard position (A) and
moves to the left or right according to the use con-
ditions of the vehicle.

[When the indicating needle moves to the right of
the standard position]
Indicates consumption power of the electric motor
unit and the air conditioning.
The more the needle moves to the right, the more
electrical power is being consumed.

[When the indicating needle moves to the left of
the standard position]
Indicates charged power of electric energy gener-
ated from regenerative braking.
The more the needle moves to the left, the more
electric energy is charged. Odometer/Tripmeter/Meter illumina-
