Mitsubishi Outlander
The mid-size SUV, and the most diagnostically interesting car in the range because two versions of it are entirely different machines. The plug-in hybrid has no conventional gearbox, drives its wheels through two motors, and runs its engine as a generator much of the time — so the hybrid and charging code blocks apply to it in full, while the petrol version is a conventional crossover with a CVT. Establish which before reading anything.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
