Great!
I am very interested to hear whether replacing the clutch/damper fixed your P0811 issue (I sure hope it did!), and I'm also interested to hear if you have 100% engine power available under full throttle.
Thanks for any update you can give us.
I have some interesting data to report:
I did some more full-throttle acceleration tests since the last one I described in my previous post. Unlike before I found that the driveline happily increased power to 100% and the Power Gauge needle stayed there (!), without any (noticeable) clutch...
Ok, I've been putting miles on my truck (now at 2,600) and taking it easy. I am waiting to see if Ford comes up with a solution of some kind.
But today, I thought I would test to see if the P0811 fault code would come up again. So I did a few full-throttle passes on the freeway to see if it...
Well, I never saw 100% before as I never really paid attention to it. I just noticed that I was limited to 70-75% with the P0811 check engine light on. This light goes away after a few stop/starts and I try not to trip it so I drive it like I did my Prius: easy! And I only see 30-50% max on the...
While I have been dabbling my P0811 check engine light issue I keep driving the Maverick, and I now have about 2,600 miles on it, just taking it easy. Today I stepped on it again just to test if the check engine light would come on. It didn't trip the check engine light, even though I noticed...
I have a friend who's an experienced powertrain automotive engineer, and he said: "My guess is the ECM contains some elements from an original application or was not properly coded to the characteristic of the drive."
That's quite possible and would mean that "out of bounds" situation that a...
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I had not seen those other threads.
Multiple owners reporting this same P0811 code does imply that we're talking about a more "common" issue with these Hybrids. But there is no cause determined yet?
Some on those two threads talked about the transmission...
I took delivery of a Hybrid Maverick Lariat two weeks ago. After driving a Prius for ten years (270k reliable miles) I love driving my new truck and the practicality it offers. In busy SoCal traffic, I can attest to the usefulness of the Lane Centering and Adaptive Cruise features, it is very...
