Hi all:
I can't find the thread (or posts) but it's been discussed here how the 4xe's owner's manual has detailed situations where extremes of temperature, in fact extremes not unlikely to be seen in the States, prevent the 4xe from starting.
Has this ever been resolved in terms of its accuracy or some fix?
I don't know what battery/batteries crank the the engine. But it would seem to me that a temperature sensor could detect such extremes and signal the vehicle to crank the engine, and run off of it exclusively, rather than charging or discharging (using) the battery bank below the back seat)...thereby allow it to share the same temperature range of operation as any of the ICE based JLs.
..that is if the cranking battery is not also the propulsion battery.
Thanks.
