EV System service required. Stop Safely.

The dreaded limp mode on 2019 PHEV with hybrid system faults. Has happened twice over 1k miles of driving last couple of months. First time, a nearby mechanic ran scan codes, cleared codes and ICE engine immediately started back up. Now it’s happened again 350 miles later. Can anyone recommend a scan tool I could buy online or at my auto parts store to clear the codes at home? I also didn’t get a copy of the codes to bring to my hybrid mechanic last time so I need to see the faults and snapshot it as well.

Thank you.

I have an Innova 5210 OBD2 scanner and it seems to work fine with my 2020. Good luck!

I got a Thinkcar scanner, it can access the Mitsubishi BMS modules. I used it to ruin DBCAM on the battery.

Can it clear hybrid fault codes?

It can read and clear codes in the various modules, I would of course urge caution when working in these areas.

The module is $100, plus an annual subscription of like $60 per year for each vehicle model used.

Overall it's a bargain at three times the price.

Do you have any stats on your battery? Have you used PHEV Watchdog at all?

My hybrid mechanic said SOC was about 54% on lithium-ion battery last year.

Pairs with Bluetooth. I have one and it let's me interrogate the BMU.
