Hey guys is it just my car (2023) but regardless if the ignition is on or off lock or unlocked the under hood beeper sounds continuous non stop any time the hood is released. I can’t imagine a tech changing the oil listening to this as the work. the beeper is hidden in the drivers side fender...

Hello All - I accumulated a some notes concerning the 2023 Outlander PHEV “Innovative Pedal” feature, which I would like to share with other owners for their input as well. For benefit of new owners who are not familiar with Innovative Pedal, commonly know as “Single Pedal” driving, it allows...

Hey Guys - This is a test of my 23 Outlander PHEV to evaluate what happens when we select higher than B2 mode while in EV mode which causes the engine to start. (Depending on HV battery SOC) As the car travels in EV mode in “D” (drive) the processor defaults regen level to B2 setting. As we...

Hello - On the 23' cars outfitted with a new heat pump system the engine does not have to run to power the heat pump, the heat pump is powered directly by the high voltage battery. If you avoid using higher than B2 and not use Innovative pedal, the engine should not run. However, during cold...

Thanks for the reply - I should have mentioned the only exception to DC charging is if its free. Yeah if you're just hanging out it might be worth the wait. Are those charge stations DC or AC or both? Mike

Since Watchdog PHEV does not support newer generation 23 models. As a work around, I have been using Car Scanner, while it does not display all the needed data, it does provide some vital information such as engine speed, Engine Temperature, HV Battery voltage, 12 volt voltage, SOC, Coolant...

Thanks for all the contributions Guys - Great collections of Outlander PHEV operation and user thoughts. Would be great to continue this or start another on the newer generation 23 model with the integration of the heat pump, larger HV pack and different processor protocols as well as lane...

Hello All - Myself, I feel that DC charging is useless for a PHEV like the Outlander. The DC charging feature is merely a hook to confuse inexperienced buyers. I just can't see a Outlander owner sitting somewhere charging for 30-50 minutes in a strange unsafe location when they have a gas...

Thanks looks like a lot of stuff was changed in 23 - I'll get by using CaScanner for now it gives me engine temps, RPM, HV, 12 Volt etc. Mike

Hey guys just curious if anyone has been successful using PHEV Watchdog on a 2023 model. I've tried 3 different OBD readers both WiFi and Bluetooth and the Watchdog program see's the reader but only responds with elevation and time on line. What's puzzling is I can read over a dozen parameters...

Hello all - is it possible to just get steering assist without using the speed control. Thanks in advance - Mike

Thanks for the reply - Must be a processor glitch. The other day I selected "Save" and the processor used up 26 miles of my 50 showing. I hope you chase it down - Mike

The interior trim, fabrics and detail all have remarkable quality on par to the detail of the Hybrid system itself. Finish and detail wise the Outlander will easily hold its own against a Discovery or even a Land Rover. I found my 40th Anniversary Outlander some 70 miles from my home. I dropped...

Hey guys will the watchdog app work on 2023 models? Also I have a Vgate vLinker MC+ Bluetooth OBD2 Car Diagnostic Scan Tool for iPhone iOS, Android & Windows is this the right choice? Thanks in advance Mike

Getting great range from my 2023 with its 20 kw pack. We live in rural area getting average 3.5 mile kw average 45-55 miles per charge. The Outlander works perfect for our 30 mile round trip to town each morning with range to spare. Regards Mike

Hello what is the approx temperature when you experience this problem. If it’s cold the engine may start to Maintain a safe temperature as well as liber ate the bearings journals cyl walls etc. Note if you watch the left side display anytime your motor uses enough power to raise the needle to 12...

Hello - Be careful which EV you buy, years ago in error I bought an I-Pace and was lucky to get 125-140 miles in winter form their advertised 300 mile EV. We now own two EV6 Kia's, both are RWD and in summer I get a real 325 miles. Last winter I still averaged 3.8-3.9 mile per kilowatt and...
