Wifi Not Broadcasting & Charging Timer Not Functioning

[b4surani]

Hello All

I got an Outlander 2015 Phev.

Mainly, my wifi is not broadcasting, I do not know the reason I tried various methods to reset the wifi module which include 10 times & 20 times fob press with/out hazard lights on, I do hear a single beep confirming there is no device registered. I got the SSID and password printed card with the manual, but I can not see the wifi ssid on my Android/iPhone. Hence I am unable to connect and not able to check/control any feature of the car from my smartphone.

I want to use the charging timer function to utilise cheap overnight electricity. When the charger is plugged in, it does start charging between you "start" and "stop" the car, which is obvious behaviour.

I set timer 1 to start charging every night from 01.00 to 5.00, but it seems the car is not starting the charge overnight. For a trial, I tried setting timer 2 from 12.00 to 12.10 without a full charge tick and my observation says,
1. It does not start charging at 12.00 or 12.05 or until 12.10
2. If I turn ON the car a couple of minutes later(let's say 12.02), it starts charging(which is obvious) and turning OFF the car, does not turn charging off instead it keeps changing as the time is within the set timer 2 range.

Does it mean the car is not able to identify the correct time to start charging overnight?
If not, am I missing anything or not following the steps correctly to use the charging timer function?

I also need help with wifi setup if there is any expert outie owners who have experienced the same and come up with a solution or any alternative method to get the wifi setup done? I am based in NW9, if you are local we can meet at your convenience, plz DM me.

Desperately looking forward to your comments on these issues, feel free to put down your thoughts.

Hi there, I believe that you may be mixing up two different functions.

1. You pair your phone to the car, so that you can make receive calls etc.

2. You use the Mitsubishi app, to connect a device to the car to manage the remote control features, timers etc.

Follow the instructions in the Mitsubishi app. You don't need to see the car wifi before you run the app on your device.

Make sure that your device is not set up to automatically connect to your home network.

If the device auto connects to your home network, the app setup will fail half way through.

There are two ways to avoid that:

1. 'Forget' your home network settings on the device, until the app is set up.
2. Take your device and car to somewhere else, where your device cannot see your home network.

(2. is the reason why many people are able to set up the app at the dealership.)

I can connect my phone via BT to do a calling function, but unable to see the car's wifi ssid at home work or a remote location with no other network interference, I tried the same on several phones in case my one is faulty.

My WiFi stopped broadcasting, could not use the app, turned out to be the remote ECU, needs to be diagnosed at misty service centre

Alright thanks for sharing your experience.

This is a repeat message as I think my original may have been blocked as I mentioned amzn ??

You should be able to see the WiFi SSID with any phone or enabled device. Probably an expensive visit to Mitsubishi if it’s the ECU.
I’d you have a home charger you should be able to use its timer Instead. An alternative if you use a granny charger is to get this device by Tapo on amzn. Their TP link smart plug with energy monitoring only cost £9.20 currently and you can set timers using their app very easily. I started to use it as the Mitsubishi app always gets flaky when clocks change but I can also see exactly how much energy is used.
