Ok well thanks for being the first penguin off the cliff! I guess I’ll wait for this one to get ironed out!
P0E15 back after recall 03A: The pure contentious incompetence of Chrysler's software division is astounding!
P0E15 back after recall 03A: The pure contentious incompetence of Chrysler's software division is astounding!
@ChryslerCares It is time for the software division for all vehicle modules, including the Uconnect system with the Pacifica hybrids to be fired and replaced! How MANY more times will they get it wrong at this point? Reusing old code for the Recall 03A bringing back the BPCH bug? It is apparent the Chrysler software developers for this vehicle are lazy or simply do not care and take pride in their work! Who has to pay for the incompetence with their time? The people like me that have bought one of these. Are the owners that are out of warranty going to be screwed when this happens to them? Is this by design in an attempt to recover losses? Cha-Ching! $$$$
Three days of no issues after recall 03A and the first time the temp is below 40F, guess what? That's right, the problem with the BPCH software bug was put right back into the system. As opposed to last winter which was very cold because of this, my vehicle has been great this winter. Nice and toasty, until it got cold outside after the Recall 03A. Had no heat again.
Being this is now the third time this has happened my BPCH firmware is now perma-locked and is requiring a replacement on a PERFECTLY good BPCH that has had 0 issues since the last software update from TSB 08-052-22. Stellantis/Chrysler better get ready to be replacing over 67,000 BPCH very soon.
My two-year-old Pinnacle I have driven only when needed waiting for the loss of power issue to get ironed out, will still not be driven much due to the BPCH bug returning from the most recent recall software update. What is the point to have the BPCH replaced if it is going to be perma-locked every time the software bug throws the code more than 3 times? This is beyond stupid and unacceptable. P0E15 software bug should NOT be a thing at this point!
Just as rental companies will charge for loss of use due to damage or negligence I think it is time every owner of a Pacifica hybrid is compensated for the loss of use going forward due to negligence of bad software. I can guarantee you there will be no more software issues if this happens.

There are three different cooling systems not all of them can be vacuumed. This is stating to pressurize bottle 1, not vacuum. Vacuuming a coolant system is the fastest and easiest way to fill them without air. Pressurizing a system and then jolting it by releasing the pressure does not remove all the air. This system has so many valves, crossovers, exchangers, and electric pumps is one reason I will not own one of these past the warranty.
Well the tech said you can’t vacuum fill the battery system. That’s obviously wrong based on Chrysler’s own document. That kit is a vacuum system. And only if you don’t have it should you use the pressurize procedure.There are three different cooling systems not all of them can be vacuumed. This is stating to pressurize bottle 1, not vacuum.

Here’s the only other thing you could try. The ECH is on the same loop as the engine. And when in Hybrid mode, all heated coolant going to the 2 heater cores must pass through the ECH, which won’t be powered once the engine is up to temperature. So after you get this fixed I’d have the HV battery at <1%, and I’d set the temperature in the van to Max and go for a rip down the freeway, hoping to use the mechanical coolant pump to purge the system. Setting the heat to max should open a path through the ECH.
You're assuming they have a software division. It's probably subcontracted out to people that don't care.P0E15 back after recall 03A: The pure contentious incompetence of Chrysler's software division is astounding!

Regardless software quality control and design for data degradation is non-existent.
