You are correct in that the MG1 (Motor Generator 1) and MG2 do work as generators but nether directly charge the 12v battery. All of the charging goes to the HV battery and the HV battery is used to charge the 12v battery via a DC/DC inverter to step down the voltage. MG1 can charge the HV...

This is what I do to. I only turn the defrost on if I see the windows start to fog... I am trying to let go of the urge to max out the elective driving now that the temps have started to drop. I mean on my worst day I am still only using 1/3 of the fuel I used to use on my commute to work in my...

if you want the ice to run all the time couldn’t you just switch the mode to Sport instead of monkeying with the temp and AC?

I have only had one software recall so far on my 24 Hybrid and I think it overlapped with the Ecoboosts. 🤔

Mine seems pretty accurate. I use a digital gauge on my air compressor to dial them in and the TPMS display is usually bang on. Honestly it does not take much of a swing in temp to cause the pressure to change. Just having the sun shine on one side of the truck can cause 1-2 PSI swing between...

I noticed my ICE does not usually get any hotter than about 65 deg Celsius during normal driving. Most of the time it beardly cracks 55 deg unless I have the heat on for defrost. My bet is the demand for the ice was greater than usual, so it finally got up to max temp and started burning off...

If your lucky, maybe the original owner did not like the tailgate locking so he simply disconnected it?

The first thing I would look for is if the plug on the harness that connects the tailgate to the truck is connected properly. Is the rear cam working correctly? If yes, then I would open the panel on the tailgate and see if the lock actuator is connect (and there). Maybe the original owner had...

I thought I would miss having an auto dimming mirror after having one in my last SUV, but since almost everyone that follows me tailgates so I can never see their headlights anyway! Note I am usually doing 10 over so it’s not because I am hypermileing or Sunday driving! Maybe it’s just seems...

I’m curious if those of us who are having back seat sensor errors have Active X or is it happening with the cloth seats too?

I have only had people in the back seat once (otherwise it’s only my 35lb dog). The two outside sensors picked them up correctly but like others have said the centre seat went red. I had one of the passengers buckle it and I have left it like that. They never trigger when the dog is back there.

Amazon Canada. They are about $8.99 each (I bought 2). If you buy a two pack you can get USB-C but I went with USB-A because I wanted the USB-C slot open for my phone. Mini USB LED RGB Light Brightness Adjustable 8 Color Changeable for Car, Laptop, Keyboard. Atmosphere Smart Night Lamp for Home...

Now that it is dark in the morning as I drive to work, I was having a tiny issue at times trying to get my coffee mug back in the holder. For under $10 I picked up a USB LED light. seems to do the trick I just have to decide what colour I want it to be (you can choose from 8).

It‘s funny when you think about it. We were taught not to ride the brakes as it was bad for the pads. Now you ride the brakes or coast with regenerative braking. My wife always bugs me because I back of the throttle early and coast to a stop. She does not understand how regenerative braking...

Curiosity got the best of me... I had to go back and look at my window sticker (it might be different because it shipped to Canada).

Not something I really cared about so a non-issue for me. I was well aware it had been deleted despite all of the incorrect information still around the site and on the window sticker. I am more disappointed for them deleting the keypad and window wiper heater... both things I would have used!

My truck has been a little work horse over the last few weeks. We moved on Friday into our slightly smaller place about 30 minutes away from our old home, so between trips to the dump, trips to good will and a few loads of the more valuable stuff we did not want to let the mover's touch I have...

Hmmmm, might be the cause of a pending code I found a little while back. “Code P237F indicates that there is a problem with the exhaust heat exchanger exhaust bypass valve A control performance. This means that there is an issue with the computer controlling the flow of exhaust gases through...

I was hearing about dealers only accepting financed purchases before I ordered my truck. The current rates were still in the high 7% range, so I specifically asked my dealer if they accept cash deals, and he assured me they did, so I placed my order and started my 355 day wait!

I tend to agree but I assume he is looking at my ultimate goal of retiring ASAP.
