Help! My PHEV won't charge...

[littlescrote]

Clock Button? I don't have a clock button on my FOB

If you have a base model without the remote heater and WiFi module, you won't have the clock button

I can't seem to get a photo to work. Used to use Tinypic, but it's dead! Any recommendations?

Just take photo with cell phone and upload it. I have a Samsung S10 and works fine. Upload as image.

I have a 24 Noir and no clock button on the FOBs. It’s nowhere near a base model. Do you have a pic of a FOB clock button? I don’t see any reference to it in my owners book.

Thanks for the pic, IC it's a 2018, nothing like my 2024 FOB.

It’s a small silver button on side of fob on top with pic of clock engraved on it.
Did sequence again last night and got a full charge during night

Does this button have anything to do with the aux. battery daily top-up?

That button bypasses any 'timers' set up in the car.

It allows the car to be charged, even though it is during a non-charging period set up in the timer section of the MMCS.

Thanks Andy. I can continue to ignore it.

Charging issues with PHEVs can be frustrating, but here are some steps to troubleshoot your 2015 Outlander PHEV:

1. Check the Charging Cable: Inspect the cable for any visible damage or loose connections. Try using a different charging station or cable to rule out a faulty cable.
2. Verify the Power Source: Ensure the outlet or charging station you’re using is working properly. Plug in another device to test it.
3. Reset the Vehicle's Charging System: Disconnect the charger, turn the vehicle off, and lock it. Wait a few minutes before trying to reconnect and charge again.
4. Inspect Timer Settings: Sometimes, timer settings can glitch. Disable the timer and set the charging process to manual to see if it works.
5. App and Software Updates: If the app isn’t communicating properly with the vehicle, try reinstalling it or checking for software updates for both the app and your PHEV.
6. Vehicle Charging Port: Dirt, debris, or moisture in the charging port can cause connection issues. Inspect and clean it gently if necessary.

If these steps don’t resolve the problem, it may be a deeper issue with the onboard charger or a software glitch. Consulting a dealer or a certified mechanic might be necessary.

Hello. I've had a 2015 Outlander PHEV since February, and everything has been fine. Went to plug it in last night, came back to the car this morning to find that it hadn't charged. It's set up on a timer to charge between 12 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The app is telling me that the charge timer could not be activated, but even turning the charge timer off makes no difference. The car refuses to charge.

Try clearing the timings and plug into the car then turn on the charging unit should take about 5 hrs to fully charge
