manninp Report post Posted January 22, 2021 My 2013 FFH, just yesterday out of nowhere, doesn't seem to be functioning properly. Mainly, the EV mode will only come on when coasting/braking for the most part. Basically any gas pedal input activates the ICE (internal combustion engine). Car has 170000km but was working fine in this regard up until yesterday. This has caused a fairly significant reduction in fuel economy. I read some stuff about a hybrid battery age counter needing reset but seems to only be for the 10-12 models. Also worth noting is the hybrid battery drained close to zero twice yesterday and that's also never happened. And when I turn the key off but leave accessory on, it now allows me to play music indefinitely whereas before it would typically only let me play it for a few mins and would then shut-off with a message on the touchscreen stating something about preserving the battery. And the "status" screen seems to be showing "charging" a lot more, even when in electric mode, when it's coasting it says charging as oppose to Electric drive. This may be normal and I just hadn't noticed before. Also at times, the idle when the gas engine kicks in can be quite rough, almost erratic like the RPM is going up and down, well, erratically. It also kind of shakes the car a bit at times too. Just generally not very smooth. Otherwise it seems to drive ok. Yesterday, it was really revving high then low very quickly, my wife was wondering what the heck was going on. I noticed there is an arrow either above or below the battery on the left dash screen. It appears to signify whether the battery is charging or discharging. In this case, the arrow seemed to bounce from top to bottom of the battery in sync with the revving. Check out this video I took this morning: https://photos.app.goo.gl/vtggfNHNTJ68aNp17 Thoughts on all this? Any help is greatly appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aschulz261 Report post Posted January 25, 2021 My guess would be that check engine light has something to do with it. You are going to need to get that looked at. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sky14FFH Report post Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Yeah that's weird. I'd have it looked at. I notice your battery is appearing almost fully charged up but not 100%. 23 hours ago, manninp said: The CEL is for an evap leak at the fuel fill neck That error can be fixed by using the funnel that came with the car that should be in the spare tire compartment and inserting and reinserting the funnel into the filler neck. Seems stupid but that's the recommended way and you can find youtube videos on it. https://youtu.be/TCdkHi0mLvM?t=112 https://youtu.be/JlK2qekqX5s?t=212 Could also try cleaning up the fuel filler area.
