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.
