PURPOSE
Some affected vehicles may experience any or all of the following DTCs after the vehicle has been operated in very cold weather (approximately -5o F (-20oC) or colder) after a short drive (5 – 10 minute) followed by a 15 – 20 minute cold soak.
| DTC | Relay | Description |
|---|---|---|
| P0657 | ETV | Throttle Actuator Motor Relay Circuit Malfunction |
| P1590 | A/T | TCM to ECM Communication Error in Torque Reduction Request (CVT) |
| U0101 | A/T | CVT ECU Timeout (CVT) |
| P0201 – P0206 | Injector | Injector Circuit, Cyl. 1 – 6 |
The customer may also complain of a no-start condition, however, dealers may find it difficult to recreate. The condition is caused by condensation freezing inside the relay, rendering it inoperative. Should you suspect very cold weather has caused either or both of theses conditions in an affected vehicle, follow the procedures below and replace four (4) relays with a modified type.
Affected Vehicles:
2007 – 2008 Outlander (2.4L 4 cyl & 3.0L V6) built prior to November 20, 2007.
2008 Lancer built prior to November 13, 2007.
PROCEDURE:
![]() | NOTE: ONLY INSTALL A NEW RELAY IN LOCATIONS INDICATED IN THE PHOTO.

- Integrated Diode: Each relay includes a built-in diode that suppresses induced voltage during switching, safeguarding your electrical components from potential damage.
- Small size/Low power consumption/High contact voltage/ High sensitivity.
- Contact Material: Ag Alloy / Contact Resistance: ≤ 100MΩ.
- Minimum operating voltage 8V, corresponding minimum operating current is 100mA; Standard operating voltage 12V, corresponding standard operating current is 150mA.
- Life Expectancy Electrical: 100,000 Operation, Life Expectancy Mechanical: 10,000,000 Operation.
- High switching capability: Normally open 40A/14V DC and normally close 30A/14V DC. Suitable for Nilight LED light bar wiring harness kit
- Premium quality: Durable relay and harness socket with 5 wires; Made by high-grade materials to ensure superior quality and long lifespan
- Male-female slot design: Unique male-female slot design, easy to connect the relay with harness socket, clean and neat after installation
- Easy wiring: The relay sockets come with different colors for loads/accessories, simple and convenient wiring
- Package include: 5 x relay and 5 x relay socket with wires.Fit type: Universal fit
- Never go beyond its capabilities. Try to stay 10 to 15% below what the rate is for
- 12-volt 5-prong relay. Excellent water-repellent and dustproof ability, but not using it in water
- Be careful when inserting the relay into the socket. If you force it, you will bend the female connectors
- Primary leads use 12 a.w.g tinned copper wire. Coil leads use 16 a.w.g
- Nominal Coil Voltage: 12 V DC; Coil Power: 1.8 W; Coil Resistance: 80 Ω; Must Operate Voltage: 6~8 V DC; Must Release Voltage: 0.6~3.6 V DC; Maximum Applied Voltage: 15.6 V DC
- Upgraded Version - Automotive relays built in fuse socket included 30A blade fuse with heavy duty 14AWG wires for main contact. no need of a separate fuse holder, saving space and money. 4-Pin SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) Relay.
- Mounting Design Feature - The interlocking mounting design of unique male and female slot on each socket edge, connect relays together and manage cables easily, offering clean and neat installation.
- Easy Wiring - The relay sockets come with color-labeled wires for load/accessories convenient wiring. Black - Ground (85), Red - VDC (30), White - Trigger (86), Blue - Output N/O (87)
- Wide Application - Widely used in car keys power control, over-load protection, trunk release, polarity change, power door lock/actuator control, change a low current output to high current, add ignition/accessory outputs, control motors/other electronics etc.
- Set includes 5 relays, 5 relay harnesses, and 5 30A blade fuses.
- Rated Coil Voltage: 12V DC; Max. Rated Switching Current: 40A; Coil Power: 1.8W; Coil Resistance: 80 Ω
- Never exceed its capabilities. Try to stay 10 to 15% below the rated value. Please note the size (1.37 x 1.65 x 9 inches)! It may be too large for some applications
- Tinned copper wire has good conductivity and corrosion resistance, and is more resistant to oxidation
- Wire Specifications: Black 16AWG - Ground (85), Red 14AWG - VDC (30), White 16AWG - Trigger (86) and Blue 14AWG - Output N/O (87)
- The relay and wiring harness are well sealed, with excellent waterproof and dustproof performance, and plug and play
