- [11025016](https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/11025016), 2025-11-05: Flash: Hybrid Control Processor \(HCP\) and Auxiliary Hybrid Control Processor \(AHCP\) Updates Customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp \(MIL\) illumination. Upon further investigation the technician may find the following Diagnostic Trouble Code \(DTC\) has been set in the Hybrid Control Processor \(HCP\) module: ● P16F0\-00 \- SPI Comm Hardware Fault. Customers may also comment on one or more of the following: ● \*\*Low/weak 12V battery or a no start condition due to voltage being under 10.5V. ● Unable to charge vehicle while key is off.\*\* ● Shifts rough occasionally when coming down to a stop. ● Shifts rough occasionally when accelerating. ● Shifts rough when transitioning from EV to Hybrid operation on low SoC. ● Shifts rough when engines starts. ● On part throttle accelerations with little to no battery available the transition from battery power to engine on is harsh and abrupt. ● The engine oil life on dashboard drops down too fast when the engine oil dilution reaches high level without the ability to recover.
