P2D28

Cold Start Propulsion Torque Performance

During cold start, the propulsion torque output does not match the calibrated cold-start torque profile. Cold engine response, hybrid blend, or torque modelling deviates from expected.

  • Check engine light: Yes
  • Emissions related: Yes
  • Repair difficulty: medium

Common causes

Ordered by how often each turns out to be the cause.

  • Increased cold-engine drag torqueCommon
  • Hybrid blend strategy off-targetPossible
