EV/Hybrid Waste Heat Recovery System Fault

2018-2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 2.0L I4 PHEV

Moderate SeverityPowertrainGeneric (SAE)

Description

The waste heat recovery system that captures heat from the motor/inverter to warm the battery or cabin is not functioning.

Symptoms

  • Slower battery warm-up in cold weather
  • Cabin heating less efficient
  • Increased energy consumption for heating
  • Range reduction in cold conditions
  • Waste heat valve indicator fault

Common Causes

  • Heat recovery valve stuck
  • Coolant crossover valve failure
  • Control module fault
  • Coolant circuit air lock
  • Temperature sensor error in heat recovery loop

Diagnostic Steps

  1. Check waste heat recovery valve positions
  2. Monitor coolant temperatures in recovery circuit
  3. Command valve positions via scan tool
  4. Bleed air from heat recovery coolant loop
  5. Test temperature sensors in recovery circuit

Repair Notes
