2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Fuses and Fuse Box

Every aspect of the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is innovative, even down to the advanced fuse system that protects its electrical components. The fuse box in this car guards important circuits by thoughtfully placing different fuses inside. These fuses protect the integrity of the car while acting as silent sentinels, guaranteeing the seamless operation of vital systems. To ensure the Outlander PHEV continues to operate at its best and remain safe, it is essential to comprehend the placement and purpose of these fuses. Let’s explore the fuse box in this state-of-the-art Mitsubishi vehicle and the world of fuses.

FUSES

Fuse block location
To prevent damage to the electrical system from short-circuiting or overloading, each individual circuit is equipped with a fuse. The fuse blocks are located in the passenger compartment and in the engine compartment.

Passenger compartment
The fuse blocks in the passenger compartment are located behind the fuse lid in front of the driver’s seat at the position shown in the illustration.
Pull the fuse lid to remove it.

• Main fuse block
• Sub fuse block

ENGINE COMPARTMENT

In the engine compartment, the fuse blocks are located as shown in the illustration. While pressing the tab (C), pull up the cover.

• Main fuse block
• Sub fuse block

Fuse load capacities
This fuse list shows the names of the electrical systems and their fuse capacities.
There are spare fuses in the main fuse block cover in the engine compartment. Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same capacity as the original.

The fuse block does not contain spare 7.5 A, 25 A or 30 A fuses. If one of these fuses burns out, substitute with the following fuse. 7.5 A: 10 A spare fuse
25 A: 20 A spare fuse
30 A: 30 A audio system amplifier fuse When using a substitute fuse, replace with a fuse of the correct capacity as soon as possible.

Identification of fuse

Fuse replacement

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical item connected to the fuse and put the operation mode of the power switch in OFF.
2. There is a fuse remover (A) in the engine compartment fuse block.
   
3. Clamp it on the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight out from the fuse block.
   
4. Use the fuse location diagrams and the matching tables, to check the fuse that is related to the problem. If the fuse is not blown, something else must be causing the problem. Have the system inspected by a certified Mitsubishi EV dealer.
   1. Fuse is OK
   2. Blown fuse
5.  Insert a new fuse of the same capacity securely into the appropriate slot.

CAUTION 

•  Never use a fuse with a capacity greater than the one listed or any substitute, such as wire, foil etc. This would cause the circuit wiring to heat up and could cause a fire.
• If the replacement fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical system checked by a certified Mitsubishi EV dealer to find and correct the cause.

Replacement of light bulbs

Before replacing the bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the oil from your skin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the bulb when it gets hot.

CAUTION

• Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being turned off.
  When replacing the bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before touching it. You could otherwise be burned.
• Handle halogen light bulb with care. The gas inside a halogen light bulb is highly pressurized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching a halogen light bulb can cause it to shatter.
• Never hold the halogen light bulb with a bare hand, dirty glove, etc.
  The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlights are used.
  If the glass surface is dirty, clean it with alcohol and let it dry completely before installing the bulb.

CAUTION

• Do not install commercially available LED-type bulbs.
  Commercially available LED-type bulbs could adversely affect the operation of the vehicle, such as by preventing the lights and other vehicle equipment from operating properly.

NOTE

• If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, it is recommended that these procedures be carried out by a certified Mitsubishi EV dealer.
• Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a light and lens.

NOTE

• When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the inside of the lens sometimes becomes temporarily foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a functional problem.
  When the light is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water gathers inside the light, please have it checked by a certified Mitsubishi EV dealer.

Bulb location and capacity.

CAUTION

• When replacing a bulb, be sure to use a new bulb of the same type, wattage, and color. If you install a different bulb, the bulb could malfunction or fail to come on and could lead to a vehicle fire.
