Warning - PHEV System Fault - Power Reduced - Service Required

[PerthPHEV2023]

My wife was the driver at the time of the rock impact and she didn't inspect the car to see if coolant was leaking.

I can only repeat what the dealer advised me; for the PHEV ZM series, the cooling system is common for the ICE and traction battery - it's different to the previous gen PHEV.
I tried searching for a schematic or cooling diagram without success hence I can't provide any proof. Section 10-4 "ENGINE AND PLUG-IN HYBRID EV SYSTEM COOLING SYSTEM" of the user manual does allude to the fact it's a common system but it's not explicit.

Looks to me that the AC condenser radiator is a separate unit above the engine/battery radiator.

One of the first mod's I always do to any new motorbike I buy is to add a radiator guard (typically perforated metal/aluminium sheet). I think I'll add something to prevent this happening again.

For what it's worth, I couldn't fault the Mitsubishi Dealer's service and prompt repair.

@NewPHEVowner I hope you get your car repaired soon!

Hi Aussie Outlander PHEV team

I just picked up a brand new Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid EV EXCEED this morning on the Sunshine Coast. The sales rep advised he omitted to charge the car and he set the car up to drive home in the charge mode. I drove literally 200m down the road and an error message came up advising Warning - PHEV System Fault - Power Reduced - Service Required. I took it 200m back and their Mitsubishi Servicing Manager advised that the diagnostic report indicates that the error occurred because the battery had insufficient charge, and that it should be now ready to go again. I took it out again and a similar error occurred after 200m i.e. Warning - PHEV System Fault - Power Reduced - Stop Safely. I took it back again. I now have a loan car whilst the Dealer charges the vehicle and looks into the error further. Has anyone else had an experience like this? Should a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV be charged before a customers first use? What is a reasonable customer's expectation in this circumstance – they don’t seem at all concerned about the time/inconvenience to the customer. Thanks.

Hi, I have bought a 2024 outlander hybrid.In the last 2 months I have had this warning occur 3 X. The car will be fully charged, I have even driven it in charge mode to make sure the auxiliary battery is charged...Still occur. Twice it has occurred on the highway and we lost power....so unsafe! The Mitsubishi service shop just tells us there is nothing wrong with the vehicle and bring it in if it occurs again. We have 3 X in 2 months and they tell us the same thing. They do not know what is wrong. I now have a brand new vehicle that is unreliable. I am so frustrated. Any suggestions? Any one else having similar issues?
