Will Remote starting hybrid maverick turn on the engine ?

I expect full bore draw would be only before other heat available. Maybe the generator current is bypassing the dcdc low reading increase with that reading being only HVB provided current to provide voltage control for the smoothing of the 3 phase generated current. This is all way outside my pay grade, etc. would the 3 ph dc even have to be smoothed for the heater?

Ohhhh - 12V switch (though the high fuse Amp and differences seems in excess) would explain why the PID's have no V or A readings, just yes/no, true/false.
12V switched relay in the PTC, allows the 220V to come in to PTC when called for from the generator directly, which runs when the engine is running, outside the DCDC convertor.
Like the AC doesn't show up on the Hi reading either, not that I've seen anyway.
And since 12V to switch on a relay wouldn't take 12 Amps, throw in some extra power to do something in the PTC itself to that 220 V.

Because I've got a HeatPump crankcase heater at home I ended up not needing, so used in a outside cat box under some blankets. 120 V, I should measure the amps, on at like 40 and increases resistance colder it goes, same theory I understand as PTC heater.

Saying that, I guess the PTC in the Mav should be less energy when it's warmer, and I was like at 45 F, so on the edge of not being used.
Well - 60 F gone today - back to 30's tomorrow, plenty of better testing when I can remember!

Well - the 3 PIDS about the 3 PTC are values of Low or High. At ambient 30 F they read Low.

That OUTRNG description is actually High Voltage Out of Range, again a true/false.
So nothing useful.

Today had PTC engaged, wasn't getting as hot as fast as I thought possible for only 30 F out.
But then again perhaps not that many amps maybe it's not meant to be a hot blast.
But thermo was on Hi, finally was getting some heat, and coasting down a slight hill, EV mode did come on as I was barely trying to edge it to coasting speed instead of regen. Engine temp only 133, so that was why it was willing to turn off until about 122 anyway.
So compared to other day where turning temp to 75 instantly shut off engine and went to EV, now this coasting shut off engine and seemed to keep PTC on since it reached none of the manual specs for turning off automatically.
Strange. Except Generator would have been going for the coasting.
Sadly not getting down to 10's to see if PTC value of High is used.
I mean fortunately not getting down to 10's.

Hummmmm perhaps Regen active has priority over ice spinning which could replace need for ice assuming it remains online to start. Member had scangage 3 displaying ice rpm. I don't know what the cycle time of readings was but say maybe one second. I saw rpm displayed go from 0 to 800+. I also have no idea when fuel and spark are initiated. For all I know ice may be shut off with the one cylinder at Top dead center awaiting spark. (Might explain the ice restarting at about 45 seconds after shut down at brake hold if go pedal is not touched, dunno in any case brake hold restart is almost instantaneous and very smooth.). I only get a chance once or twice a year to need to turn on High heat and do not run it very long when I do.
