With phev battery at 0%, it's normal for the gas engine to kick in. What's not normal is when the infamous bcem propulsion system failure happened. First, it shut off the ice engine and reverted to ev mode when I have 0% charges left. The system also reduced power to the car. Luckily, I wasn't on the freeway, or this could end up really badly. I was at the point where I could no longer accelerate and was coming to a stop really quick. Because I was still on local street, was able to safely pull over to the side of the road and turned off the system completely. I waited a minute or 2, turn the car back on and the engine kicked on immediately. Please have gm issue a recall for this problem TSB 18-na-261 because if this happens to someone on the freeway when their battery is at 0% and bcem shuts off the gas engine with loss propulsion failure, it can result in serious accidents and deaths.
My forward proximity sensors would randomly trigger. One day my ambient air temperature went haywire, checked for codes and had high Voltage reading ambient air, brake booster trouble. After further investigation found that the x100(female) connector had water intrusion causing shorts across the pins showing Voltage to drop across other pins further sending false or incorrect signals to the computer. The connector was thoroughly cleaned and aired out. Now wrapped intensively with a lot of electrical tape in hopes to prevent water from getting in and causing Voltage that range from 5v-14v from shorting across terminals and causing false activation.
