Account showing hvb battery % instead of 12v

[Vgkfan]

Just wondering if it’s just my account. Was showing 12v as recently as 2 days ago. Thanks in advance.

Unless it's accidentally the same 73%, you are right.

 

[garyd9]

yeah, it's showing the HVB now.

Thanks for confirming.

Seems true that it's now HVB. Just yesterday it was LVB.

With this change, is there any way to know the state of the 12v battery within the app/website (without an external tool like OBD2)?

The data is still there in the API. Just nowhere end user visible now.

If you use the HomeAssistant addon you can get it. But this isn't in a great state currently with some of the login changes Ford has made it has been breaking randomly.

I was under the impression that all of those 3rd party apps accessing the Ford API were causing account lockouts.

I know I tried the HA plugin (from HACS) as soon as I got my car, and it resulted in me having to reset my pw...

It should not cause lock outs unless you set it to try and ping the car for updates.

I've been running this for 2 years now without issue. It pings the API every 60 seconds for changes but never requests an update from the car unless I manually trigger that.

Pinging the car keeps it awake and can cause 12v drain. And also costs Ford money on data transfer on cellular.

And who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Yep, it all switched over now. You’re gonna need to use a scanner to find out your 12 V level unless they do a software update that shows on the dash somewhere which would be nice.

Being right in the catcher of the Gulf of Mexico, when I hear the words, tropical depression and Gulf today, time to charge to 100%, vaporTrails am I wrong?

I'd be happy if it showed up on fordpass

@Mach-Lee will need to update his 12V FAQ:

This worried me when I got to work I checked it and had just 62% and it was 91% before I left but I figured that was from the day before. There was a update done yesterday. The car shows 61% so it is close to the main battery. I was hoping that was what had happened. I will miss being able to check it though.
