Hello, I own a 1.5 Roadster was purchased used, and was not in the best of shape, and the intention was for it to be an evening and weekend project. Needless to say that was several years ago. That said, it has been dutifully hanging out in Storage Charge mode for several years with some very light driving (once every other month or so).
We had some power outages this past weekend (and I was out of town traveling for work), and during that time I have started getting the following seemly serious Warnings/Errors on the Video Display:
Power failure Service required (259)
Internal communications error Service Required (1096)
Low Power System Service required (1416)
Battery error Power Reduced (50)
Internal communications error Service required (885)
Vbat shows 248v (Ugh)
Shows 257 mi ideal range (Seems incorrect).
Then Low Battery Warning Charge Immediately is displayed.
I am worried that even though the vehicle shows that the battery is full (which I pretty much don’t believe as I don’t see the capacity drop) it is losing charge, and will brick. I did try pulling the ESS Service Disconnect hoping that would reset/resynchronize, but there seems to be no change in behaviour. When I connect the charge plug the Video Display says Preparing to Charge indefinitely, and when I disconnect the charge plug and shut the charge port door, the car instantly shuts down.
Looking for any guidance you folks can provide. Is there a way to force a charge?
Thanks,
--Eric
