This is not true at all. The ICE engine is directly connected to the planetary gearbox alongside the traction motor and the generator. It directly contributes power to the drivetrain.

Driving habits are probably the biggest factor in hybrid MPGs as long as the temperature is above 50f. There's not much you can do on the freeway, but any divided highway or backroads where you're under 55mph or stopping for red lights etc. you should be in Eco mode. Watch the EV coach bar and...

It was definitely tighter going into the CCM connector than 22ga would have been, but it worked for me. On the IPMA side, I used the pigtails, so wire size did not matter. Those are the colors that I used.

The best thing to use is GXL wire for the thermal/fire performance. I think I used 18ga for all 4 since 22ga is harder to find. You can buy small quantities on eBay and Amazon or somewhere like McMaster-carr. When you have your pieces laid out, wrap them all together with Tesa tape to make a...

15 ft canoe: I wouldn't recommend this method for anything but a short trip. Roof loading would be better. In Michigan, as long as the overall vehichle and load is less than 40ft, and anything sticking out 4ft or more is flagged, it is technically allowed. That leaves over 23ft past the...

Personally, I wouldnt mess with the sensor placement as there is probably some programming which relies on knowing where the sensor is relative to the rest of the vehicle.

I got a good deal on a secondhand "Fas-Top" brand topper/tonneau. It's nice because the top will fold down under the tonneau which uses the same rails and velcro, so you can easily switch between them.

Earlier in the thread, someone had trouble with a non-maverick CCM even though it is the same hardware. Perhaps there is some preloaded firmware which is specific to the model it is meant for.

I have a XLT Lux w/CP360 which is what you see in the spreadsheet. I would suspect there are more changes required for an XL. You may have to compare your asbuilt to some other VINs. After a quick Google search, it seems like U2300 has to do with communication between modules and them not being...

I've gotten this message in snow, heavy fog, and when the windshield is iced up. If it doesn't go away on it's own in between drives, I would suspect a bad connection on one of the pins that was installed for the mod.

Curious what your tires are measuring at? I have 18k miles and they are under 6/32 now. I was looking at Michelin CrossClimate 2s as replacements.

I recently had the turn signal recall BodyCM update 23C41/23V848 and the emissions/PCM update 23E07 done at the dealership. I was nervous about them updating a module that I had programmed changes into (BodyCM) so I tried to just rewrite that one from backup, but got DTCs in the IPMA, so I did...

Never had a single deep sleep message on mine in Michigan. Approaching 20k miles.

I never dealt with anything like "vehicle type." All my changes were done manually in the block editor, not in the Forscan easy mode interface.

Someone was claiming earlier in the thread that a dealer had agreed to do it, but it seems higly unlikely to me. I've yet to see someone say that a dealer actually has done it.

It's a problem because it won't work to fully stop the car. Apparently it works fine on the highway and some in this thread have done it, but it won't be able to come to a stop in traffic like it's supposed to. It makes me a little nervous, and if I had an EB I wouldn't do it since the system...

I might have the same build as you, 2023 XLT Hybrid w/cp360 and luxury package. I also found a used CCM on eBay, part number NZ6T-9G768-AA. My post is #442 in this thread on pg 30, but here are my Forscan changes copied from there:

Anyone know how recall/module updates by the dealer might affect Forscan programming? I'm affected by 23E09 emissions recall and won't be in a hurry to have it done without knowing how it might affect this mod. Hopefully someone else will be a guinea pig 😛. My reading of it at first glance...

I don't know the details of that issue since I've never experienced it, but I always assumed it was something to do with a bad switchover from regen to the hydraulic brakes. You can hear the switch when you're coming to a stop and pass roughly 5mph.

The drive modes, including "L" just map the throttle, regen, and braking differently. You get the most regen from the regular drive modes with "Eco" which can counterintuitively lead to lower MPGs than "Slippery" in some situations, because it's better to coast with no regen than to lose some of...
