The Mitsubishi i-MiEV (Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle) is Mitsubishi's first volume production all electric vehicle, introduced globally in 2009 and sold in the US from 2012 through 2017 model years. Based on the Mitsubishi 'i' kei size city car platform, the i-MiEV is a four passenger hatchback powered by a 49 kW (66 hp) electric motor and a 16 kWh lithium ion battery pack mounted under the floor. The vehicle control module on the i-MiEV (which the live page calls 'ECM' following common customer search terminology, though the technically accurate term is more like Vehicle Control Unit or Motor Control Unit since there is no internal combustion engine) is the brain of the EV system. It monitors motor speed, battery state of charge, energy distribution, charging logic, regenerative braking blending, and high voltage interlock safety. Without a functioning control module, the i-MiEV will not power up.
Our used Mitsubishi i-MiEV control module is constructed from heat resistant plastic with internal metal components, designed to operate from negative 20 to 85 Celsius. It supports CAN Bus diagnostic communication, runs on a 12V control voltage with an EV high voltage interface for communicating with the inverter and battery systems.
EV control modules from manufacturers like Mitsubishi are typically VIN coded at the factory and paired to the specific vehicle they came in. Installing a used module from a different donor i-MiEV will often require dealer flashing or pairing at a Mitsubishi dealer or qualified EV specialist. In some cases, the module cannot be re flashed and will only work in its original donor vehicle. Before ordering, call (240) 301-0095 with your i-MiEV year and VIN, and we will help confirm whether this specific unit can be re flashed for your vehicle. We disclose this up front so there are no surprises after install. Note that finding a Mitsubishi dealer or specialist with i-MiEV experience may be difficult given the limited US sales volume.
