Q1

What is the drivetrain configuration of the 2022-Present Mitsubishi Outlander?

The 2022-Present Mitsubishi Outlander features an advanced S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control) drivetrain system, which includes an electronically controlled 4WD system. It is compatible with both the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and the plug-in hybrid variant. The system dynamically distributes torque between the front and rear wheels for optimal performance and stability across various driving conditions.

Q2

What are the maintenance requirements for the Outlander’s drivetrain?

Regular maintenance for the Outlander’s drivetrain includes checking and replacing the transfer case fluid every 30,000 miles, inspecting the driveshaft and CV joints for wear, and ensuring the S-AWC system is functioning properly. Mitsubishi recommends following the service intervals outlined in the owner’s manual to maintain optimal performance and longevity of the drivetrain components.

Q3

How do I replace the driveshaft on a 2022-Present Mitsubishi Outlander?

To replace the driveshaft, first, secure the vehicle on a lift or jack stands. Remove the underbody panels to access the driveshaft. Unbolt the driveshaft from the transmission and rear differential, then carefully slide it out. Install the new driveshaft by reversing the process, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications. Test the vehicle for proper operation after installation.

Q4

What should I do if my Outlander’s drivetrain is making unusual noises?

Unusual noises from the drivetrain may indicate issues such as worn CV joints, damaged driveshafts, or low transfer case fluid. Inspect these components for wear or leaks. If the noise persists, perform a diagnostic scan to check for error codes related to the S-AWC system. Consult a certified Mitsubishi technician for further diagnosis and repair.

Q5

How can I optimize the performance of my Outlander’s drivetrain?

To optimize drivetrain performance, ensure regular maintenance is performed, including fluid changes and inspections. Use high-quality lubricants and parts recommended by Mitsubishi. Drive smoothly to reduce stress on the drivetrain components, and engage the S-AWC system in appropriate driving conditions for enhanced traction and control.
