Is there anything between the IMA pack and the motor that, if bad, could limit how much assist I get? Even at a full charge, I think the assist power has gone down a bit. recals are once in awhile but normal for a 2000.

I just saw that this was not answered. Is it still a problem.

I guess that SOC and battery temp could be it. An MCM reset (fuse 18 ) could do the thing

When you say that the assist seems to have less power, do you mean that it doesn't seem to affect acceleration by as much at full assist, or do you mean that you are only getting partial assist?

 

[dfiore]

partial assist?

I think something is weaker. The FCD used to be at 49mpg under acceleration in 5th gear. Now is sits about 35 or 40.

Does the guage show the same amount of assist as it did before under similar conditions?

 

[dfiore]

yes it does

and I never seem to get that purging surge feeling.
