Hello, outlander II 2.0did from VW. Gets about 1.70A at rest. 1A pulls the radio and amplifiers. 0.7A draws something that hangs on fuse No. 8 under the board. There is only graphics so weird K in a circle. Identical under fuse No. 5 (10A). I care about the description of this fuse No. 8 (7.5A)...

Here you are Fuse 8 until 2009 A / C control unit Steering column switches Universal meter Electrical timing and alarm control unit (ETACS) Fuel additive control unit Key warning buzzer Entry control unit without key Electrically operated glass relay Wireless control module (WCM) 7.5 After 2009 Fuse 8 A / C control unit Steering column switches Universal meter Electrical timing and alarm control unit (ETACS) Fuel additive control unit Key warning buzzer Entry control unit without key Electrically operated glass relay Wireless control module (WCM) Lighting control Alarm sensor 7.5A alarm siren

There was an exchange or reprogram of etacs. Reason for power consumption and sometimes automatic switching on of lights.

Exactly such graphics. Thank you very much for the description. And this is interesting, because Mitsubishi allegedly was already in the ASO for this problem and the problem has not been resolved. best regards

Car from Poland? Was it a reprogram or an exchange?

what was guilty? I have the same problem

Hello colleagues I recently have an Outlander and 2.2did and also have a problem with power consumption good battery, and after a hard time firing the car, the radio is equipped with MMCS navigation - stopped working, and the driver's seat also stopped working, please help, electrical diagram

it is a pity that no one writes as looking for I did so battery ammeter - 0.35A quiescent current is present measurement probe which fuses have voltage and I determined that after removing fuse no. 7 inside the car no power consumption without No. 7 is a radio power supply.

Hello, I have the same problem, I pull out fuse No. 7 and zero power consumption Added after 5 [minutes]: MarianAgatka did you solve the problem. Or maybe someone has an installation scheme

up to this point I also determined this consumption, this fuse from what I remember is also from heating the seats and rear view camera? this car has the MMCS system with a subwoofer in the trunk and probably an amplifier has anyone found out what the exact cause is?

Hello problem solved fuse No. 7 according to the scheme I searched for from the radio after disconnecting the radio there is still a power consumption of 0.35A but under the radio there is a bluetooth module after unplugging this module, the power consumption drops to 0.03A bluetooth driver number 8785a010.

the module is responsible for connecting to the phone? now something reminds me how the owner of this car said that you can not connect to the phone is this the module you have repaired or replaced with a new one?

I drank it, the connector you never used after the case.

Hello

I also had a battery discharge and the reason came from China.
Android Radio LEDs etc. Bluetooth
current consumption after turning off the radio support up to 0.7 mA two days battery discharged
Detached radio alarm - still the same consumption
after disconnecting the fuse No. 8 15A, the consumption dropped, but I was looking for fuse 8 plugged in and disconnected No. 9 7.5A (interior lighting), consumption after about 30 seconds, maybe a minute fell, I plugged the fuse and started to disconnect the bulbs - with one LED that was burned after unplugging, the consumption decreased. This bulb, when blown, made the system excited and discharging the battery.

this bulb was the cause

Hi

For me, the reason for the discharge of the battery was the bluetooth module burned. Disconnecting the module helped.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the electrical issues faced by Mitsubishi Outlander II owners, particularly concerning power consumption and the function of fuse No. 8 (7.5A). Users report a quiescent current of approximately 1.70A, with specific components drawing power, including the radio, amplifiers, and various control units linked to fuse No. 8. The fuse is associated with the A/C control unit, steering column switches, and alarm systems. Some users have experienced unresolved power drain issues, leading to battery discharge, and have identified the radio and Bluetooth module as potential culprits. Solutions discussed include disconnecting specific fuses and components to reduce power consumption, with particular emphasis on the impact of faulty modules and lighting systems.
Generated by the language model.

FAQ

TL;DR: Owners report "0.35A quiescent current is present"—a clear parasitic draw that drains batteries. Start by checking radio/Bluetooth and pulling fuses methodically. [Elektroda, MarianAgatka, post #17757782]

Why it matters:** This FAQ helps Mitsubishi Outlander II owners diagnose battery drain fast, identify culprit fuses/modules, and pick effective fixes.

Quick Facts

Fuse 8 (7.5A) feeds ETACS, WCM, A/C, cluster; post‑2009 adds lighting control and alarm circuits. [Elektroda, moto-kord, post #16695747]
Audio power paths: F7 and F16 (cabin) plus F31 (engine bay). [Elektroda, ptr92, post #19077536]
Faulty Bluetooth module 8785A010 under the radio caused 0.35A draw; unplugging cut it to ~0.03A. [Elektroda, MarianAgatka, post #17759910]
Pulling cabin fuse F7 eliminated the draw for some users, indicating radio/MMCS involvement. [Elektroda, wicio911, post #17758385]
Edge case: a failed LED interior bulb on fuse 9 kept the circuit awake and drained the battery. [Elektroda, dmb5, post #20041314]

What does fuse No. 8 (7.5A) in the Mitsubishi Outlander II control?

Fuse 8 supplies the A/C control, steering column switches, instrument cluster, ETACS, key buzzer, keyless entry, power window relay, WCM; after 2009 it also feeds lighting control, alarm sensor, and siren. [Elektroda, moto-kord, post #16695747]

How do I quickly check for a parasitic drain on my Outlander?

Put an ammeter in series with the battery, note the resting current, then pull fuses one by one to see when the draw drops. Users isolated a 0.35A draw this way and traced it to the radio circuit. [Elektroda, MarianAgatka, post #17757782]

Which fuses power the radio/MMCS system?

Owners identified F7 and F16 in the cabin fuse box and F31 under the hood as audio power feeds. Pulling these helps confirm radio-related draws. [Elektroda, ptr92, post #19077536]

My draw disappears when I pull F7—what does that indicate?

That points to a load on the radio/MMCS circuit. Several users saw zero power consumption with F7 removed, confirming the audio path as the culprit. [Elektroda, wicio911, post #17758385]

Can the Bluetooth module cause battery drain?

Yes. A failed Bluetooth module (8785A010) under the radio held the circuit awake, causing a 0.35A draw; unplugging dropped it to ~0.03A. “Problem solved.” [Elektroda, MarianAgatka, post #17759910]

Where is the Outlander Bluetooth module and what is its part number?

It sits beneath the radio stack. One confirmed module causing drain carried part number 8785A010. Disconnecting its plug eliminated the excessive draw. [Elektroda, MarianAgatka, post #17759910]

Could interior lighting or LED bulbs trigger a drain?

Yes. A failed LED on the interior lighting circuit (fuse 9, 7.5A) prevented sleep. Removing the bad bulb restored normal current after ~30–60 seconds. [Elektroda, dmb5, post #20041314]

What is ETACS and how does it relate to battery drain?

ETACS is the Electrical Timing and Alarm Control unit. One user cited ETACS reprogramming or replacement as a fix for power consumption and unintended light activation. [Elektroda, Ireneo, post #16695969]

Did Outlander models after 2009 change what’s on fuse 8?

Yes. Post‑2009, fuse 8 also supplies lighting control, alarm sensor, and the alarm siren, expanding potential drain sources on that fuse. [Elektroda, moto-kord, post #16695747]

Why does my alarm randomly trigger while the battery drains?

If fuse 8 feeds your alarm sensor and siren (post‑2009), a fault on that circuit can cause false alarms and parasitic draw. Check loads on fuse 8. [Elektroda, moto-kord, post #16695747]

What resting current have owners measured before and after fixes?

One report showed 0.35A before repair. After unplugging a faulty Bluetooth module, resting current dropped to about 0.03A. [Elektroda, MarianAgatka, post #17759910]

Should I start my diagnosis at the radio/MMCS?

Yes. Multiple owners confirmed battery drain linked to the radio path. “It is best to start checking from the radio.” [Elektroda, pin987, post #19774136]

What is the WCM mentioned on the fuse list?

WCM stands for Wireless Control Module. It manages keyless and immobilizer functions and is listed among fuse 8 consumers. [Elektroda, moto-kord, post #16695747]

How do I isolate a radio-related battery drain (3-step)?

Insert an ammeter in series with the battery and note the draw.
Pull F7 (cabin); if the draw drops, note it.
Continue with related audio fuses to pinpoint the device, then test the Bluetooth module. [Elektroda, MarianAgatka, post #17757782]

Can dealership visits miss this issue?

Yes. One owner reported prior dealer attention without resolution; community tracing later pointed to specific fuse/module faults. [Elektroda, decybel91, post #16696642]

Is there a link between ETACS faults and lights turning on by themselves?

A member noted ETACS exchange or reprogramming as the reason for battery consumption and occasional automatic light activation. [Elektroda, Ireneo, post #16695969]
