The Eco mode animation being the one that shows when you press the mode button isn't definitive. Does it show the leaf icon when on the main screen all the time? Or a better test would be set your cruise control, slow about 3-5 mph, and resume. Does it gradually accelerate or does it jump on the throttle? That's the better tell if you're in Eco mode. The CC response is the main reason I use Eco since I otherwise get the more regen from L. And when I tried the 'just delete the other drive modes in ABS' it was still obviously in normal mode from that test even though the mode select animation showed Eco.
Why is your digital speed indicator in blue?I removed Normal and some other modes using Forscan.
For two weeks I was able to start in Eco mode, the leaf did not appear so I was never sure that it was really in Eco.
After I reverted back to a stock the leaf was visible again.
Can you share how you accomplished what you did.

3rd picture - back to stock
There has to be a way
Yup Eco coach mode. Basically the bar version wrapped around the digital speedometer.
Changes with your acceleration indicating dependency on gas and reduction of electricity usage.

Yes. That’s what the 3rd picture is illustrating.
Don’t get me wrong, I hope Ponchsox does have it working as I thought I did to. I attached the link where I posted I thought I had success

Others tried what I had done and reported back they felt the vehicle was just operating in normal.
Made me doubt that it was actually in Eco mode. Someone with one of those digital monitors that reads everything would probably be able to tell.
The general thought was that if Normal was disabled from the modes it automatically defaulted to it regardless. Nothing to confirm either way.
If someone with one of those devices reported back it was working I’d go right back to how I had it set up.
I just really want it to be in Eco mode so reverted back to manually selecting it until someone else could confirm.

Just add the $40 kit with solid state relays to do button presses for you.
Best of all worlds.
For $40 you gain automation and lose no modes at all.

It’s been a few months since I did it and I’m out of town right now.
I’ll have a look when I get back but it was essentially enabling and disabling the modes in the ABS module
I also don’t want to tell people how to do something until someone can actually test it with equipment in the different modes normal being the baseline.

I just received my Hybrid Mav today. I bought a FORscan dongle so I could upgrade my cruise control to the interactive one and asked dealer would I vacate any warranties if I reprogrammed through FORscan. I was told not just the mod I wanted, but any reprogramming anything could nullify all warranties. I also asked can one tell if you accessed computer with FORscan - he said yes. Now I don’t know if this is true or not, he might have been just trying to scare me off of attempting it. Anyway, I am having second thoughts on the idea - even though there are how to videos on how to do this and other cool mods.
Has anyone figured out if the Default ECO mode worked? If so, can someone provide the steps?
