Hi Mantasss, Welcome to the Forum! 🤝 It sounds that you will need a Type 2 to type 1 J1772 adapter. The CMax energi support up to 3.3 kW charging, it is possible to plug into chargers including Level 2 that have a higher power rating but the car will charge at 3.3kW regardless.

Sounds good! Great to hear the C-Max stays with the Family 😄

Hi MMax, Do you mean that the regen might no be responding or glitching, hence the car creeps instead of slowing down for short period of time? I wonder if a video might help provide some clue. Have you ever tried to drive the car in L gear instead of D (higher regen) and do you also have the same behavior? Even though there are no lights on the dashboard, it might still bee worth trying to pull any trouble codes (for example using forscan which would be on of the low cost, most proficient tool for DIYers with the CMax)? After you pull the codes, it may be worth disconnected the 12V battery and disconnect the HVB pack overnight to let some of the car module to reset, reconnect, reset codes, and pull codes one or two weeks later.

Congratulations on your Mach-E, Homestead!

It seems like this should work: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=12977741&cc=2002843&pt=1404&jsn=933

Good question, I do not know and it might depend on the model years between the car receiving and the replacement battery? It seems like besthybridbatteries.com was selling kits that would could install DIY so reprogramming is either not needed or simple. If you try the experiment, please keep us posted!

When you say that the battery goes bad, do you mean that it only has a little capacity left? I assume then it becomes a Max hybrid with similar fuel economy. If some cells actually become damaged and the battery cannot hold a charge, then is the car even drivable or the battery needs to be rebuilt or replaced?

As I had found enough hours of time during the year end Holidays break, I finally moved to work on my Sync 2 to Sync 3 upgrade on my 2013 CMax energi SEL 303A. Lots of valuable information on the Ford community forums, ForScan, CyanLabs and of several contributors, like @cr08 on the forum have been a great help to get this going so thank you very much for all your insights! I had purchased components a while back and really put off the upgrade, but so far it really gives a breath a fresh air to the CMax, and Android Auto is really welcome. Highly recommend to make the upgrade if you are running Sync 2. I used the following components: - APIM JJ5T-14G370-ACC (used from an 2018 Ford Escape with navigation) - USB-C hub LB5Z-19A387-B (new Ford genuine part and ordered trim adapters on aliexpress) - Right angle Fakra connector GPS antenna (the first one I ordered gave DTC and sometimes an error message at startup even though signal seemed to be okay, so got a different model and I am no longer getting DTC) - Gen1 USB power adapter cable for the USB Hub I updated the APIM from 2.3_17109 to 3.4_22251. The APIM was coming from the previous vehicle AsBuild, so I gathered a few reference and tried to match it as close as possible to the 2013 CMax energi SEL 303A config. Here is the programming in abt ForScan format (again may not be optimal, so use with care) ; Block 1 7D0G1G12B2865038014 7D0G1G2028816800A04 ; Block 2 7D0G2G155530106C049 7D0G2G282001000006D 7D0G2G3640545 ; Block 3 7D0G3G10101000000DD ; Block 4 7D0G4G10100040000E1 7D0G4G20005E2 ; Block 5 7D0G5G117A21798286D 7D0G5G2BE9C ; Block 6 7D0G6G1805E ; Block 7 7D0G7G1110433000027 7D0G7G2000006820068 7D0G7G30004306A007F 7D0G7G46446 ; Block 8 7D0G8G1005000000131 7D0G8G2700040000091 Appreciate if you have any comments on the topic and feel free to ask if you have questions!

I purchased a few month ago an APIM and screen and was planning to try to upgrade. Hopefully you find a buyer for the whole set. Is it the set you used on you CMax Energi?

This Ford tech says that it is generally placed off the firewall (so it may not be visible directly from underneath the case, it might not be easy to spot in the tight engine bay in the CMax Perhaps some other members might have experience with cleaning the drain hose and give more details.

I was actually wondering who was hosting fordcmaxenergiforum.com... Is it known?

MPG did not improve with the new tires, I think it is about 0 to -2 MPG on the first 2k miles, so I would not recommend them if mileage is your ultimate goal. I have to say I got the tires based on lower price (50 less per tire), much better snow traction than the OEMs (confirmed based on my trips to the Mountains), long thread warranty, good overall ratings from tirerack.com.

For the first 2k miles, my opinion is that they have slightly higher road noise (white noise) than the OEM Energy Savers Michelin but they are much quieter (and a bit smoother) at same inflation pressure when running on road imperfections (bumps, potholes, reflective pads).

2013 C-Max energi, 57k miles. Just changed set of tires to Continental TrueContactTour. Replaced 12V battery 2017. EV only range down to 16 miles highway, 21 miles town. Combined Hybrid mileage about 43mpg.

I cannot tell for sure what the dealer's tech did but I assume he went straight to try installing 3.10 The problem is that I cannot seem to be able to download the file I need for the USB stick to do it myself. When I go to https://owner.ford.com/tools/account/how-tos/keep-your-sync-up-to-date.html the website shows " You're all up to date. Your vehicle has the most up-to-date SYNC software." with no file to download. But it the car, it shows 3.6.2 ( SYNCGen2_4.30.13171_PRODUCT )... Supposedly the dealer (Ford Store Morgan Hill) has opened a ticket and will contact me when they get resolution...
