1. What does P0AE2 mean?

For applicable U.S. Mitsubishi i-MiEV model years 2012, 2014, and 2016, verified Mitsubishi service information includes a repeat-check procedure for DTC P0AE2 in the EV-ECU. The supplied evidence does not establish a plain-language fault definition, severity, driving or charging status, symptoms, root cause, or repair for P0AE2.

2. Technical explanation

Verified Mitsubishi service information instructs technicians to erase P0AE2, cycle the electric motor switch through the specified positions, and check whether P0AE2 is stored/set again in the EV-ECU. If it returns, the procedure directs a return to Step 1; if it does not return, the diagnosis is complete. The supplied excerpts do not include Step 1 or the complete P0AE2 diagnostic path.

3. What system is affected?

EV-ECU. The supplied TSB excerpts place P0AE2 in Mitsubishi service information for the electric motor unit and main drive lithium-ion battery section, but do not establish a more specific affected component for P0AE2.

4. How serious is this code?

Not yet established by verified evidence.

5. Symptoms you may notice

  • Not yet established by verified evidence.

6. Possible causes

  • Not yet established by verified evidence.

7. Can I still drive the vehicle?

Not yet established by verified evidence.

8. Can I charge the vehicle?

Not yet established by verified evidence.

9. What you can safely do

  • Do not attempt high-voltage battery, contactor, or EV-ECU repairs yourself.
  • Have a qualified Mitsubishi EV service provider diagnose the stored EV-ECU code using the applicable service procedure.

10. Step-by-step troubleshooting

  1. Verified service information calls for checking whether P0AE2 returns after the specified erase-and-switch-cycle procedure.
  2. The supplied evidence does not provide the earlier diagnostic steps or authorize a user-level repair procedure.

11. When to contact service

Service evaluation is appropriate because the verified procedure is an EV-ECU diagnostic workflow and the supplied evidence does not establish the underlying fault or repair.

12. What the service center may check

  • Check whether P0AE2 is stored/set in the EV-ECU after the specified erase-and-switch-cycle procedure.
  • If P0AE2 is stored/set again, return to Step 1 of the applicable Mitsubishi diagnostic procedure.
  • If P0AE2 is not stored/set again, the cited procedure states that diagnosis is complete.

13. Possible repair or resolution

  • Not yet established by verified evidence.
