Hi every one...!
I have a 2013 outlander phev. I suddenly had a problem with it. I couldnt charge the vehicle for about 2 weeks and the battery level was criticaly low. On that low level I wanted to go out and when I started the vehicle it showed some error messages as routine maintainance required, ev system service required and acc system service required. Any way i took the vehicle out and drove abot 12kilometres and the vehicle stopped on the middle of my journey. I had to take the vehicle to the dealer on a tow carrier. The dealer scanned the vehicle and told that my battery was in critically low level when I took the vehicle out and some of the battery cells have very low voltage. Then they took the cells to a normal level by the scanner by deleting all the error messages and charged the baterry and drained and again charged. But the problem is when the vehicle is started with low bsttery level the generator kicks in to charge the battery but stops in few seconds . Now the vehicle runs only on battery but when the battery goes down the generatot doesnt start. Can run only on battery till it goes down. I greatly appreciate any valuable idea about it...
