Understanding your 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor’s onboard diagnostics system is crucial for effective vehicle maintenance. The OBD2 port acts as the gateway to your car’s computer, allowing you to access a wealth of information about its performance and health. This guide focuses on the OBD2 port and the Parameter IDs (PIDs) you can retrieve from a 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor, specifically using a standard OBD2 reader via the K-line (pin 7) protocol.
While advanced diagnostic systems like Mitsubishi’s MUT-II offer comprehensive data access, standard OBD2 tools provide valuable insights for most car owners and DIY enthusiasts. It’s important to note that using the K-line connection (pin 7) may limit the PIDs accessible compared to more sophisticated systems. This method, while common and accessible, doesn’t tap into all ECU modules present in the vehicle. Mitsubishi’s diagnostic systems are known for their complexity, and fully unlocking all data typically requires specialized equipment beyond basic OBD2 scanners. Currently, there isn’t a straightforward method to seamlessly integrate readily available Mitsubishi software with the MUT-II system through standard OBD2 interfaces. However, advancements are continuously being made in automotive diagnostics, and future tools may bridge this gap.
When connecting an OBD2 reader to your 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor via the K-line, you can expect communication at these parameters:
- ECU: 7e8
- PIDs/sec: 80 max, 45 avg
- Connection Protocol: 15765-4 CAN 11/500
Note: During connection, you might observe the antilock light flashing on the dashboard. This is a known occurrence and generally not a cause for concern. It typically stops after driving the vehicle for a short period.

Important Considerations:
- O2 Sensor PIDs: The availability and accuracy of oxygen sensor PIDs may vary. The 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor might not have as many O2 sensors as some of the listed PIDs suggest. Verify your vehicle’s specifications for accurate sensor configuration.
- Tool Dependency: The PIDs displayed can be influenced by the OBD2 software and adapter used. Tools like Torque Pro, even with MUT2 add-ons, may yield similar PID lists when using a basic K-line connection.
This PID list serves as a starting point for diagnosing your 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor. By monitoring these parameters, you can gain valuable insights into engine performance, fuel efficiency, and sensor health, empowering you to maintain your vehicle effectively.
