What object in Car Scanner would you look at to see if the battery was being heated?
Battery temp and battery coolant inlet temperature. Also PTC heater output. When the battery goes into heating mode you'll see heater output typically 5+ kW and the inlet temp will jump up. You will also hear the hum of the coolant pumps running and coolant gurgling if you listen closely.

I'd have to tun off my radio to hear anything. LOL. So far it hasn't been cold enough for the battery heater to turn on. I rarely ever leave the house before 11:00 AM. I also keep my heater at 65.

I would like to thank everyone on the forum. When you buy these cars used it's nice to have a trove of data.
