So a strange situation I ran into today.
So I drove about 50 miles which is about as a long of a drive as I ever do, but it's a drive I've done dozens of times.
I started out close to 40% SoC with about 100Mi of estimated range displayed, after driving 70-75 on the freeway I arrived with 19% SoC which is close to the lowest I've ever had the battery (one time I took it down to 15%).
There are some free Clipper Creek chargers here, I was rolling the dice a bit because if I was unable to charge here (sometimes all the chargers are occupied) I would not have the range to go home, but I knew there are probably a half-dozen DCFC sites between here and home so I was never in and real danger of being stranded.
Anyways I was able to plug into one of the chargers as expected, came back about 5 hours later and the battery is at ~65% but it's also reasonably hot @ 32C. I decide to turn on the car which causes the battery cooling cycle to kick in, I locked the car and went next door to have lunch.
Came back about a half hour later and the battery is nice and cool (27C) and is up to ~70%, I have more than enough range to get home so I go ahead and unplug. So far so good.
But when I put the car in reverse so I could move from the charging stall I got a warning that propulsion power was reduced and a warning light on the dash.
I went ahead and moved the car, noticing that in this configuration L mode is effectively disabled and I have next to no regen, with the RoD paddle doing nothing.
After driving a couple blocks and parking again, I turned off the car then turned it back on, there was no warning message saying propulsion power was still reduced but the warning light was still on so I assume it still is.
I checked and there were no DTCs stored in the ECU.
I also checked the battery cell voltages and they all looked good, all within 0.01V of each other (either 3.84xx or 3.85xx.
I turned the car off and here I am, I will be leaving to go home in a couple hours. If it doesn't fix itself I'll try disconnecting the 12V battery to "reboot" the ECU. If that doesn't work I'l try a "full" (HTR) charge cycle on Monday and if that doesn't work I guess I'm bringing it to the dealer (joy).
I'll update when I find out more.
