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:
? 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
