BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The 2018 Outlander PHEV requires specific steps for a thorough PDI. The processes described in this
bulletin were developed to ensure a “fault-free” delivery of hybrid vehicles. As in previous PDI
instruction bulletins, the Technical and Detail procedures are divided into separate sections.
This bulletin contains general descriptions of most required Technical and Detail inspection checks
organized in a logical and time-efficient order. The Technical and Detail procedures are divided into
separate sections. It is critical that all the steps are completed while keeping the vehicle clean inside
and out during the entire PDI process.
The PDI process is important. Remember to:
D
D
Avoid pressure to rush through PDI.
Never skip steps on the PDI form and always use it to confirm you have completed all steps.
Once you are familiar with these procedures, the PDI form acts as a guide to the process.
Complete the 2017/2018 PDI Technical and/or Detail quiz from the Mitsubishi Academy at
www.MitsubishiAcademy.com, if you haven't already done so, as well as all courses specific to the
PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle).
NOTE: If any repairs are needed, ensure they are made before the customer takes delivery of the vehicle.
Any defects in materials and/or workmanship discovered during PDI should be corrected and
claimed under warranty. Adjustments and repairs are not part of the PDI flat rate time.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
WARNING
When charging the vehicle, to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire due to electric leak, always
use an outlet protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), rated for 15A or more, that
is connected to a dedicated branch circuit.
Wiring harnesses wrapped in orange plastic are high voltage (330V) circuits. Severe or fatal
injury can occur if the following precautions are not followed:
D
Always wear insulated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). These are ESSENTIAL
tools and are included with the new dealer tool kit. Missing or damaged tools can be
ordered online through the mitsubishidealersolutions.com website, or by calling Bosch
Automotive Service Solutions at (888) 727-6672.
D
Ensure the ground is dry and clear of debris.
D
If a high voltage connection requires attention, always refer to the Service Manual for
instructions, and disconnect the high voltage plug located on top of the main drive
lithium-ion battery, behind the center console in the 2nd row floorboard.
D
Never directly touch any exposed high voltage wiring cables, protective covers detached
from high voltage components, or high voltage components that might be damaged.
D
If leakage of a clear, odorless fluid is observed under the body, it may be electrolyte leak­
ing from the main drive lithium­ion battery. This electrolyte is flammable, and poisonous
acid gas will evaporate from the electrolyte. Wear an organic mask, solvent­resistant
gloves (or heavy­duty rubber gloves) and eye protection. Use an absorption mat or sand
to absorb spilled electrolyte.
D
If electrolyte comes into contact with your skin, flush with water immediately.
D
If electrolyte gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Immediately flush your eyes with
a large quantity of water and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

TECHNICAL INSPECTION
The Detail Specialist should complete the DETAILING BEFORE PDI section before handing the
vehicle off to the Technician for PDI Technical Inspection. Refer to the DETAIL INSPECTION section
of this bulletin for complete detailing information for both before and after Technical Inspection.
Use the PDI form and this PDI bulletin as a guide. After completing each step, check off that procedure
on the form. The sequence in which you perform the steps may vary depending on your dealership's
procedures, facilities, and the vehicle itself. Be sure that all steps that apply are checked on the form. Be
sure the PDI form is signed and dated, and copies filed in the “vehicle packet” and service file at your
dealership. If you have questions about checking a specific feature or specifications, refer to the Service
Manual, new model training guides, and/or the Owner's Manual for details.
!! IMPORTANT !!
DO NOT offer any vehicle for sale if it has an outstanding recall campaign. Doing so subjects the
dealer to large fines. Check the Superscreen for possible outstanding recalls.

OFF Button)
2. Confirm the IOD connector is firmly engaged (pushed down).
NOTE: The IOD connector is typically engaged at the port.
The POWER switch must be OFF for this step. If the POWER button(also called POWER switch,
ignition switch, or electric motor switch) is turned “ON” while the IOD connector is disengaged, a
warning message “EV System Service Required” will be shown on the Multi Information Display (MID).
This is normal. However, if the IOD connector is engaged (pushed down) with the POWER switch “ON”
a DTC will be stored and must be erased before Final Delivery. To avoid setting the DTC, make sure
the IOD connector is engaged only with the POWER switch “OFF.”
Do NOT remove the IOD connector once it is engaged. For PHEV vehicles,
the IOD connector must remain engaged even while in storage. Also, do NOT disconnect the
negative battery terminal.

1. RAP-FILM REMOVAL (if applicable).
Before a technician can perform the Technical portion of a PDI, the protective film (RAP-film) must
be removed from the exterior body surfaces.
NOTE: For easiest removal, RAP-film temperature should be between 32_F (0_C) and 122_F (50_C).
The driver entry area may be protected by a clear
RAP-film placed on the scuff plate and/or lower door
area. This is to protect the area from damage while the
vehicle is available for viewing by customers or in dealer
storage, improving Initial Quality Survey (IQS) scores.
THIS AREA SHOULD REMAIN PROTECTED BY THE
CLEAR RAP-FILM UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS
DELIVERED TO THE FINAL RETAIL CUSTOMER.
Please do not remove clear RAP-film from the lower
door or sill area prior to retail delivery.
Page 32 of 39
TSB−17−00−012
a. Remove the exterior RAP-film from all body surfaces.
D If the temperature of the vehicle body is higher than 122_F (50_C), the film softens, allowing
more residue to remain on the body surface. For easier removal, decrease the temperature
of the vehicle body surface to less than 104_F (40_C) with cool water and/or store the vehicle
inside, out of the sun.
OR
D
If the body surface temperature is lower than 32_F (0_C), increase the temperature using
warm water or put the vehicle inside a heated facility until the body surface temperature rises.
Then, starting at the corners, pull up on the RAP-film, fold it back, and pull it off at an angle of
180 degrees to minimize glue residue.
b. Wash the vehicle with water.
NOTE: ALL RAP-FILM MUST BE REMOVED AFTER 5 MONTHS
2. !! IMPORTANT !! Remove RAP-FILM RESIDUE
A line of adhesive residue can form at the edge of the
RAP-film. As the film shrinks due to exposure to the
elements, the adhesive is exposed and collects dirt
and other debris. Use either of the following methods
to remove RAP-film residue from the body surface.
D
If there is a considerable amount of residue,
remove it by wiping down the affected body
surface area with isopropyl alcohol, diluted 50%
with mineral spirits (petroleum benzene).
OR
D
If there is only a small amount of residue, use a very
mild (white) polishing compound on the affected
surface area.
For details on removing RAP-film and residue, refer to
TSB-97-00-006 & TSB-00-00-002.
3. Inspect for PAINT DAMAGE.
a. Inspect the vehicle's surfaces for paint swelling (paint will have a milky appearance). This
condition occurs when moisture is trapped between the RAP-film and the body panel surface.
b. Most occurrences of paint swelling can be corrected by parking the vehicle in bright sun light for
approximately one hour.
NOTE: If the above repairs are not successful for correcting paint swelling, refer to the paint repair procedures
in the Body Repair Manual for the model.
c. It is recommended that the Technical Inspection be completed at this time. Continue with the
Detailing After PDI section after the Technical Inspection is finished.
Whenever possible, install all accessories and dealer-installed options BEFORE performing
Detailing and Final Delivery Preparation.
Page 33 of 39
TSB−17−00−012
B. DETAILING AFTER PDI
1. Remove RAP-FILM (if not already done). Refer to previous Detailing Before PDI section.
2. Wash ALL EXTERIOR BODY PANELS.
a. Always make sure the windows and sunroof (if equipped) are fully closed.
b. Wash all body panels with water, not in direct sunlight.
c. Start washing from the roof, working downward, using a sponge and water.
d. After washing, wipe water from body surfaces using a chamois or soft cloth.
NOTE: When using a high-pressure washer avoid directing high-pressure spray at weatherstrips.
3. Check for WATER LEAKS immediately after washing.
In some cases, it may take 4 minutes or longer to produce any evidence of a leak.
During storage, when the vehicle has been exposed to rain with the RAP-film removed, or while
washing the vehicle, note any water leaks that may require repair.
Remember, the source of the water leak is not always where the leak appears. To accurately locate
and repair a leak, a thorough understanding of the conditions the leak was identified must be made
known to the person making repairs.
4. Wash and inspect ALL WHEELS; THOROUGHLY REMOVE ALL GLUE RESIDUE; Apply TIRE
DRESSING.
a. Install any missing tire valve caps using the correct cap. TPMS equipped vehicles require specific
valve caps. Your parts department can provide the correct part for the vehicle. Refer to
TSB-12-31-001 for information.
b. Wash the wheels with mild detergent and rinse with water. See TSB-09-31-005 for information.
c. After washing, wipe water from wheels using a chamois or soft cloth.
d. Inspect wheels and tires for nicks, scratches, and other damage.
e. Clean off any residue or foreign material.
f. Apply tire dressing to each tire.
g. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
5. Check DOOR AND TRUNK OPENING CLEANLINESS AND UNDERHOOD CLEANLINESS.
