Good info. Jake. I just returned from a 2 hr. drive and monitored the Forscan lite SOC. It started around 80% and reached 86% when I got home. The current started around 6 A charging and settled around .4 A after a few minutes driving. My DC-Dc voltage didn't change much with a high of 15.0 and...
I've had a new AGM installed since Nov. 25. I've had one Batt. Save event on the new AGM about one month ago. Since then, I read your excellent posts, bought a NOCO 10, and got the Forscan Lite app to try and figure out just what is going on with the 12V. My QST reading (cumulative charge) has...
The scale I'm seeing is from the Forscan Lite app for Ford SOC. I assume my hybrid is set for a profile goal of 85% SOC and that is an absolute value. If I believe after charging my battery overnight on a NOCO 10, then I would expect a Forscan Lite display to show a SOC greater than 85% unless...
I recently read in cold weather the, BMS keeps the voltage up (14.8~15.2) to help the 12v battery. If the temp. gets above 50 degrees, the voltage would drop back to ~13.5v once it reaches "float" mode. It's been pretty cold here in Indiana so I've never seen a lower voltage. I have seen the...
I have a question regarding your screen shots in Forscan lite. What is the difference between BAT_CURRENT and BAT_QST_CUR? I see one is in mA and the other is A. Are they both PID for the 12v battery?
I've never seen a float charge voltage reading at the powerpoint when I'm driving. I would think a float charge would be around ~ 13.5 or so. It would be a bulk charge voltage (14.8-15.2) until the BMS sees 80% SOC. Is it correct to say the BMS reset clears the memory of the BMS and the lock...
I'm on my third battery for my 22 hybrid. The last battery installed was a AGM through the dealer after finding the two flooded batteries bad. I've been trying to monitor the voltage at the dash powerpoint and I've seen a range of 14.8 ~ 15.2. Most of my trips are local(~30 minutes). I've been...
I have a 2022 Hybrid and I've been monitoring the voltage out of the dash powerpoint while driving. I've recently had a AGM battery installed after two FLA batteries went bad. When driving, the normal reading I see from the powerpoint is 14.8 v. I assume this would indicate the DCDC HVB is...
This is sort of making sense now. I contacted my dealer to have the recall addressed and they required a pre-visit to open a RO. After talking to the service manager, it appears all they needed to order parts was the mileage off my truck. Now it is a matter of waiting to see how long it takes to...
I received my letter from Ford saying the parts are available to address the airbag recall. I called my dealer to schedule the service and they want me to come in so they can open a RO (?) to order the parts. Once the parts are in, they will schedule me again to install the parts. Does this...
Has anyone had any experience with the RimBlade Rim Savers? I have a XLT and the rims are getting beat up. This is a thin strip of some material that sticks to the edge of the wheel. They come in multiple colors and around $70 for a set of four.
Has anyone noticed the hybrid running cooler with the shutters removed for the recall? It is in the 20's and on short local trips the engine temp gauge doesn't make it to normal.
I've been trying to troubleshoot the issue. Recently, I've been starting out in ECO to see if it is common to only NORMAL. I'm not sure what this will tell me but at least I feel like I'm trying something. I also wonder if it's related to gas octane. I've been using 87 for now. I'll wait to see...
I've experienced this 4 times over the past month. it's always from a cold start and the outside temp is in the 40's. The truck starts out in electric and approximately 1/4 to 1/2 mile down the road, it feels like a 3 sec. shudder when the truck goes from electric to ICE. it shakes the whole...
