I'm curious if anyone else has noticed behavior like this.
Typically, I see 25-30% electric miles with my truck. Today driving home from work (25 miles) I noticed it wasn't going into electric mode, even at stops. Whenever checking in situations where I'd expect it to turn off the gas engine, it would say "Engine On Due To Normal Operation"
I got home, checked codes with ForScan and there are just two unrelated and seemingly harmless codes that it's been throwing for a long time (on the TRM and GWM). I checked the hybrid battery state of charge out of curiosity, and assuming I picked the right data field, it was at 62%.
I started researching and some say this happens after a PCM update, but as far as I can tell the truck hasn't gotten any updates - last one was PowerUp 6.1.0. I then went for another short drive and it used the electric motor regularly, just like it normally does - actually did around half of those miles on electric.
Anyone have anything like this happen?
