Likewise happy your misadventure was no worse than it was, David. Hopefully there's an error code stored somewhere in memory that will help your dealer figure out what's wrong. Sometimes if you google the symptoms with the make and model of the vehicle, you'll find thousand of people with the same problem, and a raft of possible solutions.
Most of the time, the engine management system can be reset by disconnecting the starter battery for five or so minutes. No secret button required.
I feel like I've been dragged kicking and screaming into the mysterious and perplexing world of computer controlled cars with the van build, as the ex-mechanic left quite a few dragon eggs in the wiring harness for me to straighten out. And the darn thing popped the P1500 code again last night just as I pulled into the cul-de-sac. It could be an over-voltage condition in the code spoofer, or the alternator/voltage regulator itself is over achieving. More homework...:confused2:
David, hopefully something simple they can help you with.
RNG, you are looking for an electron in a hybrid haystack. I hope you can get it figured out.
