2020 Outlander EPB code p1590

My girlfriend’s rear passenger caliper seized, and ever since then I’m getting a EPB fault code with her brake light flashing. I’ve replaced the entire caliper and EPB, but the passenger actuator won’t respond to anything.

I’m getting a steady voltage of 11.5 at the connector, even when someone activates the parking brake. I’m honestly at a loss. I hate EPBs. Anyone know what I’m running into?

Help finding a roof rack that will work

I need a cross roof rack for my 2017 Mitsubishi outlander but I can’t seem to find any. My car has flush rails and fixed bolt points in the flush rails. HELP PLEASE !! I would like to get one that can hold a decent amount of weight like for kayaks or if I travel with clothes on top.

New (to me) 2020 Outlander replacement stereo

I just bought a 2020 Outlander SEL with 180K miles. It looks and runs great.

But it came with a aftermarket stereo (Boss Elite BE7ASC). It's OK but lacking SiriusXM so I'd like to replace it with one with SXM and preferably Wireless Android Auto. And of course backup cam (the Boss aftermarket does have that)

When I check on Bestbuy and enter the vehicle info none of the head units show a compatible.

So a couple of questions
Is there a way to tell if the Outlander's original radio had SXM?
Will any double DIN replacement work?
How about steering wheel controls?
Is replacing the head unit fairly easy or would I be better off having it installed?

Any recommendations for a good head unit? (about $500)

Thanks everyone!

BTW: any things to watch out for overall with the Outlander?

Android Stereo install 2024 Outlander Sport S

Hey everyone, this post is to provide some information about an Android Stereo I installed last week in my mom’s new 2024 Outlander Sport S. For those of you that know, the S-trim version of the Outlander Sport isn’t the same as the higher level trims like the SE, LE, and Limited. One area that’s surprisingly lacking for a 2024 car is the 7” radio does NOT have CarPlay / Android Auto. The included 7” radio seems to be the same one included on many 2013-2019 lower trim models, so so it’s old technology. This really bummed me and my mom because she has gotten used to the SJoybring W022 I had installed in her last vehicle, which was inexpensive and had CarPlay/AA. Luckily, the 2024 Sport S has such a simple radio and isn’t integrated into other systems, that it’s possible to replace it.

I found this unit on Amazon for $167 that says it was a direct fit. This is my first post on this Reddit, so I’m not going to include a link here in the OP since I don’t want people to think I’m just here to sell a radio. Anyway, according to the listing this unit would retain the factory backup camera and steering wheel controls, and that’s important to us. We decided to give it a shot even though there were no reviews. I have an Android stereo in my 2015 Jeep Compass, and I’ve had good luck with that unit and it also had a lot of factory integration while being plug and play.

The install was pretty much plug and play. There are no wiring harnesses or install materials to buy because they are all included. I took out the old radio and had to remove the mounting brackets and use them in the install. The OEM brackets bolt to the brackets included with the new radio. I only used the basic wiring harness without the CanBus box, but even so I was able to get the factory backup camera working instantly and the steering wheel buttons programmed. I had to change a few settings on my mom’s Galaxy S25 related to USB permissions, but after that Android Auto connected easily and quickly. the stereo comes with an adapter so the factory USB port works to connect the phone to the stereo, which was an added perk that I’m very happy about.

We have had it about a week and so far it’s been a good unit. It looks pretty seamless, like it came that way. Not quite as “simple” as the SJoybring when it comes to menus and settings, but I am familiar enough with Android stereos to know my way around. We took it on a few drives to the nearest city and didn’t have any problems with Android Auto disconnecting. Haven’t had any issues with lagging or freezing up either. Only time will tell if it works good long term, but my initial reaction is that I think this is a cost effective option for anyone who has a 2013-2024 Sport S or ES without CarPlay. At $167 all in, it’s about $130 cheaper than it would have been to buy another SJoybring W022, plus all the install materials listed on Crutchfield and do a custom install. For the price and ease of install, I don’t think there’s a better option out there.

One thing to note: I’m not sure if using the more complex wiring harness and CanBus box would have resulted in more features. In my 2015 Jeep Compass, the CanBus box gives me dynamic backup camera lines that move as I turn the steering wheel, it gives me a pop-up icon that indicates which door is ajar, and it also displays the vehicles speed on the Home Screen. My thought process was that since all the boxes we NEEDED were checked with the simpler harness, it wasn’t necessary. If I find out differently in the future I’ll try to remember to update this post.

If you want to find the stereo just search for “2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Stereo”, and the product should show up in the first few results. The one we bought is normally priced at $167, has 4Gb ram and 32g rom, and it mentions being compatible with 2013-2025 Sport. However, I found several other products on Amazon and eBay that are physically identical though some list the specs differently. In my experience, 4GB ram is usually what you want to get if you have a choice.

I hope this info is helpful to the community and if anything else important comes up I will be sure to update. Happy to answer any questions that I’m able to answer.

2010 outlander V6 with OBD not functioning.

Hi dear fellows.

I am planning on buying a mitsubishi outlander 2010 facelift to a private seller. Pre-purchase inspection and mitsubishi dealership 40 point inspection done in the last month came very encouraging. The car is in amazing condition. Except one thing : the pre-purchase inspection noticed that the OBD PORT was not functioning. The owner was not aware of that and took it immediately to Mitsubishi dealership (where the vehicule has been maintained for Years). They said to the owner/seller that it was like this since a long time and refuse to diagnose it for free.

The diagnostic cost 180 dollars. And then eventual fix from easy/cheap to more costly. The owner refuse to pay for it as he feels Mitsubishi have not been professional at all.

Should I run away? Any advice or past experience on possible cause? (already checked on chatgpt)

I have seen so many cars in the last 2 months and this one is in really good shape so I don't want to miss a good opportunity.

Thanks for your help

Just bought a 27k mile 2025 Outlander...

What model cvt does it use and is it still the belt version or the chain version?

I bought this car because.... my 16 Versa transmission died. Does this Outlander use the same cvt build as that? Am I looking at another paper weight a little after 100k miles?

Amazing fuel mileage

See picture for the details, but holy wow this car amazed me. My wife and I went from filling up twice a week to barely once every 10 days or so. I have a commute of about 80 miles roundtrip and I charge once at work before I leave (to about 60%).

Perfect used car(my edition)?

Hello, I decided to write this post because there is might be someone else looking for cheap but reliable Japanese car with the right amount of power (I have a boat and I want to be able to tow stuff) but also with the some fuel economy for daily drive(it’s not a truck)
Or for someone who buying a used car and wants to do everything “right”
So here is what l decide would “right” for me
It’s Mitsubishi Outlander GT 2010 and I got it in 2026 for 3400$ Canadian dollars (2500usd) with great S-AWC and 3L V6 engine with classic 6 gear automatic transmission
But it’s not enough just to buy a car, we want to have it reliable and predictable, right?
So here is what I did and still doing(waiting for parts)
Everything I do by myself DIY and I do have a second car to drive while I do it
No, I’m not a mechanic and I even don’t have a garage
I do it on my parking lot 😅
● Engine oil & filter
● Air filter
● Spark plugs(of course iridium)
● Valve cover gaskets(it’s a main reason of oil leak in this engine)
● Valve lash adjustment
● Front lower control arms
● Front sway bar end links
● Front struts
● Rear shocks
● Brake pads
● New callipers(my had a broken rubber and I don’t want to play with them, I want to trust my brakes)
● Right CV axle(was broken boot and I don’t know for how long so better to just get a new)
● Transmission fluid
● Transfer case fluid
● Rear differential fluid
● Fix the exhaust flex pipe
● Repair a rusted coolant line
● Deep clean the engine bay
● New tires and wheels
● Android head unit with a 360 degree camera in plans, I want to get Dudu7(google if you don’t know)
● Whatever else I find along the way.

All except tires and Dudu7 head unit is around 6000$canadian which is around 4300$
With the head unit and tire/wheels around 2600cad or 1800 usd

Once everything is finished—including the wheels, tires, and the Android head unit—I’ll have roughly $6000 invested in the car
What do you guys think? Is it worth it?

The goal isn’t to build a race car or an off-road rig. I just want to make this Outlander reliable enough that I can confidently drive.
And i actually want to do it cheap on the future Maintenance so I buying an expensive parts
Let me guys know what you think

I recently got an Outlander SE gas model about 1 month back. I am getting 16l/100 km mileage. I drive short distances; daily driving is about 20km. I took it to the highway last week; even there, I could get 13.5l/100 km. I don't drive rashly. What can be done? My Odyssey was giving better mileage.

Apple Car Play - '08 Outlander

I've got a 2008 Outlander XLS which was my wife's truck, but became our spare vehicle. My daughter is (*hopefully*) getting her license on Monday, and I'm giving her the Outlander.

She's **dying** for Apple Car Play, and I'd like to keep the factory head unit (*Nav and the internal HDD, but not a Fosgate system*). I've searched the web and this sub, but everything is either for newer Outlanders, or the entire head unit is replaced which isn't what I want.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for an add-on unit or something so I can get Apple Car Play to work through the stock head unit and speakers?

TIA!

Wiper blades won’t fit my girlfriend’s outlander

Hello everyone, I recently was helping my girlfriend replace her wiper blades on her 2024 Mitsubishi outlander PHEV. I’m very handy and it’s not my first time changing out wiper blades and have had amazing luck with Rain-X wiper blades. I purchased some wiper blades at my local Canadian Tire and purchased the Rain-X latitude wiper blades and when I tried installing them they were hitting the windshield washer sprayers that are mounted directly to the wiper arms. Is this a common feature on all levels and models of outlanders because when I checked the fit finder on the Canadian Tire website, it said they would fit. Can somebody help me figure out what I might be doing wrong or maybe these are Proprietary wiper blades that only Mitsubishi sells for the outlander. Thank you

Need help!

I have a 22 outlander that stinks of fuel after I fill it. Last a long but goes away by the next time I need to fill it. Evan code but I don’t know exactly what part it could be. A breather or a valve?
