Page 1 of 15 SUBJECT: MIL ILLUMINATION WITH DTC P0AA7/P0AA8/P0AA9 - SERVICE CAMPAIGN No: SC-18-001 DATE: October 2018 MODEL: 2018 Outlander PHEV CIRCULATE TO: [ X ] GENERAL MANAGER [ X ] PARTS MANAGER [ X ] TECHNICIAN [ X ] SERVICE ADVISOR [ X ] SERVICE MANAGER [ X ] WARRANTY PROCESSOR [ X ] SALES MANAGER This Service Campaign supersedes TSB−18−54−005, issued July 2018, to revise the DTC information, production date of affected vehicles, part numbers and warranty information. Changes are italicized and indicated by A. BACKGROUND This Service Campaign instructs dealers to reprogram the sub-BMU with a countermeasure software. PURPOSE " On certain vehicles, several malfunction indicators may illuminate, including: Engine Malfunction, EV System Service Required, and RBS (Regenerative Brake System), with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) P0AA7, P0AA8 and P0AA9 (Leak Sensor Detection Circuit). This is accompanied by a decrease in vehicle power and vehicle speed being restricted to a maximum of 37 mph (60 km/h). NOTE: Vehicle power/speed restriction will be released once the Power switch is turned OFF, then back ON. The malfunction indicators will stop illuminating after the Power switch is turned OFF and ON several times. This condition may be caused by inappropriate programming of the sub-Battery Management Unit (sub-BMU). The sub-BMU may falsely judge the leak detection circuit as faulty by picking up electrical noises from operation of the drive selector, brake application, or air conditioner operation. AFFECTED VEHICLES " Certain 2018 Outlander PHEV vehicles, built between September 14, 2017 and August 7, 2018. IMPORTANT " To maximize customer satisfaction with the quality of their vehicle, affected new or used inventory vehicles should be remedied before the vehicle is delivered. Dealers must check their inventory vehicles’ VINs on the Warranty Superscreen to verify whether the vehicle is involved in this service campaign. CUSTOMER NOTIFICATIONS A letter will be sent to all owners of affected vehicles requesting them to bring their vehicle to a local Authorized Mitsubishi dealer to have their vehicle remedied. A copy of the customer notification letter appears at the end of this bulletin. Copyright 2018, Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. Continued The information contained in this bulletin is subject to change.
