1. What does P1D35 mean?

For 2012–2013 Mitsubishi i-MiEV vehicles in the US, DTC P1D35 is identified as an on-board charger output-current sensor failure. The verified fail-safe function stops charging.

2. Technical explanation

Verified Mitsubishi service information in NHTSA communication TSB-20-54-003 identifies P1D35 as “Output Current Sensor Fail.” It is judged when the charging cable is connected and the on-board charger detects an abnormal output-current value. The documented diagnosis begins by clearing the DTC, performing a regular charge, and checking whether the DTC resets in the on-board charger.

3. What system is affected?

On-board charger and its output-current sensing function.

4. How serious is this code?

Not yet established by verified evidence. Verified evidence does establish that charging is stopped when this DTC is active.

5. Symptoms you may notice

  • Charging is stopped.
  • P1D35 may set when the charging cable is connected.
  • The on-board charger detects an abnormal output-current value.

6. Possible causes

  • The on-board charger is failed.

7. Can I still drive the vehicle?

Not yet established by verified evidence.

8. Can I charge the vehicle?

The verified fail-safe and backup function states that charging is stopped.

9. What you can safely do

  • Do not attempt high-voltage component repair.
  • Have the DTC evaluated using the manufacturer diagnostic procedure.
  • If charging is stopped, arrange service from a qualified Mitsubishi EV service provider.

10. Step-by-step troubleshooting

  1. Recheck for the DTC in the on-board charger.
  2. Erase the DTC.
  3. Perform a regular charge.
