Questions About 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Electric Systems

  • Is it more expensive to repair Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric vehicle systems? The truth is, it depends. Some high voltage components only come within a larger unit. Keep in mind that promotional financing is available through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)
  • How do I know when to get new brakes on my Mitsubishi i-MiEV? A brake check is one of the best ways to know for sure. Staying on top of your OEM maintenance intervals for i-MiEV brakes helps, too. In general, however, front brake pad wear is less in electric vehicles thanks to regenerative braking.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi i-MiEV dashboard warning light on? Your Mitsubishi i-MiEV dashboard warning light might be on due to a number or reasons. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more.
  • What can cause my i-MiEV to leak water? If you’ve been running the A/C in your electric car, don’t be too surprised to find some water underneath it. Electric vehicles use a receiver dryer assembly to help keep the A/C refrigerant clean, which can produce external condensation. This condensation then drains under the vehicle on warm days. While a small amount of water can be considered normal, large puddles or any coolant leaking from your i-MiEV could indicate a cooling system problem.
  • Who offers i-MiEV repair near me? Firestone Complete Auto Care repairs Mitsubishi i-MiEV vehicles near you! View all of our low-voltage and high-voltage services.
  • How often should I take my Mitsubishi i-MiEV in for maintenance? The recommended service intervals for your Mitsubishi i-MiEV vary depending on a variety of factors, including your driving habits, mileage, and climate. You should bring your vehicle in for a tire rotation, brake inspection, and fluid check according to your vehicle manufacturer's suggested maintenance schedule. Reference your owner’s manual for exact intervals, and don’t forget about routine battery, brake, and A/C system maintenance.

Local EV Service for 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV

Have you noticed your Mitsubishi i-MiEV behaving differently? Maybe you've felt less "pep" in its acceleration, or it feels like it is taking forever to go from 0 to 60MPH. Whatever the issue, our technicians can run through a no-charge* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a better idea. There could be an issue with the high voltage cooling system in your i-MiEV -- if the high voltage battery is running hot, it will limit the battery’s performance. Or, maybe your i-MiEV has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules? Your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care store is ready to offer conventional and low voltage services for all electric car makes and models, and that includes your 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV.

Some Firestone stores also provide advanced/high voltage services for Electric Vehicles like the Mitsubishi i-MiEV. High voltage services are any that include taking out the Mitsubishi's high voltage, service/safety disconnect plug/switch, servicing high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, any high voltage cables, etc. Call ahead before making an appointment to confirm the high voltage services at your closest location.

These are some of the high voltage electric vehicle services that may be offered at your location:

Electric vehicle diagnostic: Once we identify the symptoms, a diagnostic is the next step we take when you bring your 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV in to identify the root cause. With that info in hand, a professional technician can further diagnose electric vehicle problems you're having and determine what tests (if any) are needed. No repairs are performed without your consent.

High voltage battery cooling inspection: Your technician will examine the i-MiEV's high voltage battery filter, if applicable, and clean the battery's ducts. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries.  Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection: The outer cable jackets and connectors on your 2012 i-MiEV will be inspected and tested to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. Your technician will notify you if the cable is in need of replacement.

Isolation test: For this test, a special tool is used to reveal if a high voltage component is "leaking" energy to the vehicle's chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is the battery in your Mitsubishi i-MiEV dead? Electric vehicle batteries can sometimes fail sooner than expected in hotter climates or if you often use Level 3 fast-charging stations, since these stations may heat the battery more. Let us replace it for you.

Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll inspect the regenerative braking, power inverter, and/or electric drive machine(s)/motor(s) in your Mitsubishi i-MiEV.

These are just a few of the more specialized electric car services that might be offered at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Call first to check!
