CUSTOMER CONCERN The Stop Safely warning came on while driving and DTCs P0A27 and P1A10 were stored. CAUSE The high-voltage traction-battery internal harness and calibration were confirmed as the fault. CORRECTION A jumper harness was installed in the high-voltage battery assembly and the battery calibration was updated.

CUSTOMER CONCERN After a front brake hose was replaced, the brake pedal remained low and DTC C1525 set. CAUSE Air remained trapped in the electronically controlled hydraulic brake system because the hybrid-specific service bleed had not been completed. CORRECTION The full ABS service-bleed procedure was carried out with a compatible scan tool and pressure-bleeding equipment.

CUSTOMER CONCERN A front brake hose failed and, after replacement, the brake pedal remained low while DTC C1525 set. CAUSE Air remained trapped in the electronically controlled hybrid brake system. CORRECTION The prescribed ABS service-bleed procedure was completed with compatible scan and pressure-bleeding equipment.

CUSTOMER CONCERN The IMA and check-engine lights were on, DTC P0A7F was stored, and power could drop enough that the vehicle struggled to exceed 35 mph uphill. CAUSE The high-voltage IMA battery had deteriorated. CORRECTION The high-voltage battery was replaced and the required control-module software was updated.

CUSTOMER CONCERN The wrench warning appeared intermittently and the PCM stored P1A0C and P2105. CAUSE The electronic throttle body was confirmed faulty. CORRECTION The throttle body was replaced and the PCM calibration was updated.

CUSTOMER CONCERN Multiple-cylinder misfire codes were recorded even though the engine ran smoothly and no actual misfire was felt. CAUSE The PCM calibration was falsely detecting misfires. CORRECTION The PCM was reprogrammed and the crankshaft-position sensor learn procedure was performed.

CUSTOMER CONCERN The IMA and check-engine lights were on with DTC P0A7F. CAUSE The high-voltage battery module had deteriorated. CORRECTION The high-voltage battery was replaced.

CUSTOMER CONCERN The CVT produced a severe shudder when accelerating from a stop. CAUSE The continuously variable transmission was confirmed as the source of the takeoff shudder. CORRECTION The CVT assembly was replaced.

CUSTOMER CONCERN The 12-volt battery was not charging even though scan data showed the DC-DC converter commanded on and a 13.9-volt target. CAUSE The DC-DC converter failed to produce charging voltage. CORRECTION The DC-DC converter was replaced.

CUSTOMER CONCERN The check-engine light was on with DTC P2603 for the transaxle oil-pump control circuit. CAUSE The transaxle oil-pump motor was confirmed faulty. CORRECTION The transaxle oil-pump motor was replaced.
