My dealer just fully updated my 2022 Premium Ext AWD. I now have the jail bars showing on power meter on the power side. So it looks like even the newest PCM updates still have this issue. Hopefully the IPC update expected Q1 2025 will fix it.

I enabled this yesterday on my 2024 Select eAWDx and my jail bars work.

Yesterday when I enabled it it was at 47% charge and the temp was in the 50s. I had three jail bars.

I charged in the garage last night to 80% and this morning no jail bars.

I drove to my job site in about 30 degree weather, no jail bars.

It sat outside in about 34 degree weather for 4 hours today and when I got in to come home, two jail bars.

On the drive home as the battery probably cooled down I ended up with three jail bars.

So...working!

Wow I've never seen jail bars work on a non GT!

Crazy, I have no idea. Only thing I can report is first thing I did was disable the walk away honks.

After that and a power cycle to reset, I enabled the power meter.

Hmm the 24s may have the updated IPC software. Is your speedo in the center if you turn off lane centering?

I just went out and tested it. Yes, if I turn off lane centering the speed goes to the center.

Didn't know that was a thing.

I just did this on my 2023 CR1, but my entire right side is always fully "grey-barred". Does anyone know why this is?

I have the same problem.
I put it up today, but it's like this.
The regeneration is working, but the grey grid is not

This happened to my CArt1 back in August/September when I went in for the 1 pedal drive fault TSB.
Got hit with the same today. Finally took my '21 FE in for 1-pedal issue since I needed state inspection and ended up with broken power meter.

Anyone had luck with fixing it?

I think based on my experience and what CarGuy11 has speculated, it totally depends on the software on the car. Some people get nothing, some people get full bars, and on my 2024 it works. But so far I'm the only person that has reported a fully working power meter on a non-GT.

I'd think we'd need to compile a list of behavior vs. software versions to begin to get an idea. But I think the solution may be crossing your fingers and hoping that whatever version that makes it work on my car eventually makes it every other car.

I also have a fully functional power meter in my 2023 Premium. At least, so far. We'll see what happens after the next update.

Yeah, I fully expect it to be broken at some point in the future. :D

I've joined the jail bars club on my 2023 Premium. I know it was working last month and I've had zero FDRS software updates since November. Wondering if this happened with the 10.1.1 OTA update and I just didn't notice? Anyone have a fix or should I just accept the party is over?

All auto modules are updated via FDRS.
(And I still get the updates via OTA...)

I put the gt meter on, it was a prison grid.
Yesterday I got OTA 6.8.0 (IPC) frunk update
The whole meter disappeared.
Why is that?
Do I have to release it in Forscan?
Then maybe there will be no prison grid?
