Honda CR-V Hybrid ran out of gas, now my car is stuck in limp mode
2020 Honda CRV Hybrid
According to my mechanic: Running out of gas in a 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid triggers a cascade of electrical faults, including the P1DFD code, because the engine shutdown forces the high-voltage battery to rapidly deplete. The system enters a protective "limp mode" and disables the power system to prevent damage to the hybrid battery.
We’ve tried everything from clearing faults, codes, but my engine won’t start. He’s saying there’s something regarding the software that Honda typically locks people out so we end up taking it to them to get it serviced.
Was wondering if there’s anyway around this, if there’s a software they need to download on my mechanic’s computer in order to bypass the system?
Please don’t come after me if I’m using the wrong terminology, I know nothing about cars.
