That's fantastic! Maybe I shouldn't have kept mine in the garage. :)

I don't remember exactly where it is, but somewhere you pick BECM (I think) from a dropdown and then you can pick something that shows the voltage on every cell in the battery. Bad cells will have a lower voltage than the rest. You can also get the estimated kWh on a full charge from the sine...

Not trying to be an ass, but I sincerely don't understand "power steering is hard and has error". What kind of error? Is there an engine light or code showing? Also for "previous gsa car"-- at first I thought you meant previous gas car (as opposed to electric), which didn't make any sense, but...

Yes. I'm torn between that and incompetence. I can't prove it, but I don't think my local dealers have ever seen this car. In 2017, when I wanted to buy it locally, they only thing they offered me was a C-Max Energi (which I had no interest in whatsoever). The repair report they gave me (for...

Took it to the Ford dealer this morning. They said there's nothing wrong. It's just the normal cold weather and non-LRR tires lowering the range. From what I can tell, they did nothing but reset the lifetime statistics. I charged it to 100% and now FORScan shows BAT_TO_EMPTY_ESTIM, kWh = 19.916...

I had some mild fish-tailing with the factory tires (Energy Savers A/S), so after that, I was always very careful in the rain. The Defender 2s are excellent in wet weather. I have no problem with them at all there. However, they did cut my range by about 10 miles.

I've got a 2017 FFE as a second car. I held on to my 2007 Honda Accord when I bought the Focus, so I'd have something for long trips. Most of my driving is around town, but I have an every-Sunday routine that takes 80 miles and the Focus has handled that just fine. In really cold (below 20 F)...

1. 2017, bought new that April 2. Used the OEM L1 charger for the first 6 months, and then L2 ever since 3. No official failure yet. My range has recently dropped to the high 70s. Some of that is due to colder weather, but this is the shortest range I've seen since owning the vehicle. This...

I found the cell voltage check in FORScan. Cell 1 = 3.769, Cell 15 = 4.000, all the others are between 3.989 and 3.995. That's with the battery mostly charged (92%). I'll drive it around and run it down and compare. From this, it doesn't look like anything looks bad. I took it to the dealer...

I think I finally got something I understand out of FORScan. I charged it up to 100%, and the BAT_TO_EMPTY_ESTIM_KWh reads 20.298. I've got 51k miles, and I'm still inside 8 years, so I will see if that will get me a battery replacement or a buyout offer. Thanks all!

I appreciate the advice. I was hoping I could get something out of FORScan, but I seem to be struck. I got it installed on a laptop, and I seem to have the right kind of cable now. I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for, but if I try to test the BECM Module, I get a message saying I need an...

I wish I had known about this forum a year and a half ago. I did minimal research and have suffered from buyer's remorse ever since I put Michelin Defender 2 tires on. They definitely pulled back my range. I don't have to be careful driving in the rain anymore, but I'd rather have the range I...

Thank you both for your replies. I've got a charge log going back to day 1 (April 2017) and a trip log back to March 2023 (after the new tires I put on dropped my range), so I have numbers, but not the knowledge for interpreting them. I tried using my OBD scanner on it and couldn't get it to...

My range has dropped over the last couple months. Since my last full charge, I've driven 85.5 miles over 3 days with 8 trips. The battery shows 10% remaining (and only 5 miles). If I add up the kWh for the 8 trips, it comes to 18.5 kWh. The battery has a stated kWh of 33.5. So according to these...
