How to Precondition the Equinox EV Cabin

 

[momofkobe]

I have had nothing but problem since u got my 2025 Equinox RS. Awful I'm th8nking I got a lemon. It doesn't even have 1,500 miles and I've had it back to shop for computer issue and notified them of a roaring at 35moh in front end and now my screen won't go off, windows won't work uo front, and keeps saying service door lock. I'm pissed. They need to give me something else or a rental till this is fixed I'm not waiting hours again 😒

Stay away from 2025, get a 2026 let them work this disasters out.

Sorry to hear that, momofkobe. My 2024 has none of those issues.

1. What are the symptoms of the computer issue?
2. Roaring? The car has no gas engine so I'm at a loss as to what might be making a roaring noise in the front. Do you have a video with sound?
3. Which screen won't go off?
4. The front windows won't go down?

Press the OnStar button as ask them to send a diagnostic error report. Please post it here.

Sounds like a loose plug on the computer cables. It is most probably all related to one unit or plug. That noise may be the sonic unit not shutting off, probably due to the same issue. If they find it, it will probably all be related to one item.

momofkobe posts a problem, blasts the 2025 car in general, then disappears without providing any details. Hmm...

I find it hard to take these type of hit and runs seriously.

I'm having an issue with the front camera malfuctioning a feature that was important to me. I have also had the check engine light come on and the vehicle not want to move almost as if it was out of gas, another issue I have had is with still in gear when stopping the car shut off without warning and quickly cut back on, the passager door has a problem unlocking or being able to open after the car has been sitting for a while. I then had to put it in park. Other than that I really like the car. I have an equinox activ with 1050 miles on it, I purchased it to travel back and forth to City Of hope after being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and 8 months to live

What does malfunctioning look like, anglinmelissa010?

Press the OnStar button, have them send you an error code report. Post it here.

another issue I have had is with still in gear when stopping the car shut off without warning and quickly cut back on,

The DIC and the Infotainment screens went totally black, radio turned off, wipers stopped wiping?

the passager door has a problem unlocking or being able to open after the car has been sitting for a while. I then had to put it in park.

From the inside or the outside?
If inside, the inside door handle is mechanical. You pull it once to unlock it and a second time to open the door.
If outside, it depends on how you have the door handle operation configured/personalized. But regardless pressing the Unlock button inside the drivers door will unlock all 4 doors.
Keep in mind the car will auto lock the doors when all doors are closed, the vehicle is on, and the shift
switch is out of P (Park).

NEW PROBLEMS
Receivers go out periodically ( one or more tires show no receive ), and key fob not detected warning.
Drivers window will no longer go down.
I went to lower it to check my mail, and it went half way and then shot back up and won't go down now.
I will try Onstar to see if a reset or something may fix the window thing.

Yup, my drivers window won't go down now.

I think you need a dealer visit John. Havie OnStar email the error codes (please post).

We had our 2025 in the shop when we had only 1,00 miles on it—wouldn’t start, had to be jumped. They said nothing wrong! A month later same issue. Now there’s a TSB stating to check ground cables. Our cars cables were so loose they took 3 full turns to tighten. They also did a parasitic draw test—seems the ground cables were the whole issue.

Do you have the TSB number and or a copy, rjack38?

My 2025 EQEV LT says "Unable to Charge" on the driver side display and "Charging" on the center console display.
Keeps charging anyhow.

ACC does not stop the vehicle. No DTC detected by OnStar. This has been the case since I first drove it off the lot. I saw in another thread that the front camera loses power and needs to be replaced. Hoping dealer will fix.

 

[Colorado_Al]

2x after charging (once to 80%, once to 100%) and starting to drive, I have received "Service High Voltage System" warning, and regenerative braking does not charge the battery. "Check Engine" light (car with ! in it) iluminates. Shutting off the vehicle, exiting, and waiting a few minutes, then starting it again resolves the issue.
OnStar reported code P1C01 - Battery Conditioning System
Dealer visit scheduled.

At 100%, regen can't recharge the battery, it's already full (100%). It's like having a full glass of water and trying to pour more water into it... But at 80% there should be no issue, Colorado_Al. Are you keeping the car plugged in when parked?

Understood about 100% and regen. But even when it got to 95%, it was not regenerating and my range plummeted pretty quickly because of it.
I plug it in when I get home and it charges to the set point. I unplug in the morning when it's time to go to work.

 

[Steverino]

Just curious Colorado_Al, it should not matter, but are you using the regen paddle? Just the brake? OPD? If so, at what setting?
