- 2024 Nautilus Hybrid
Recalls 24P08 and 24P14 are supposed to fix the parasitic drain issues and my dealer just performed them on my 2024 Nautilus Hybrid today. It was in the shop because my auto detailer let the battery go dead and after recharge the entry door switch would not recognize the fob (I could unlock by pressing the fob button), everything else worked and profiles remained. The dealer fix for this fob issue was...
"VERIFIED CUSTOMERS CONCERN. CHECKED OASIS FOR TSB'S, FSA'S AND SSM'S NONE PRESENT AT THIS TIME. PERFORMED A VISUAL INSPECTION, NO OBVIOUS CONCERNS FOUND. PERFORMED A BODY/CHASSIS/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SELF TEST, DTC U3003 IS PRESENT. PERFORMED PPT A IN SECTION 414-01 UNDER
"BATTERY CONDITION TEST. A1-YES, BATTERY PASSED THE CONDITION TEST AND TOPPED OFF. PERFORMED BATTERY MONITOR RESET THEN RE-TESTED VEHICLE FOR PROPER OPERATION. THE PASSIVE ENTRY SYSTEM OPERATES PROPERLY FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR AT THIS TIME. PERFORMED FINAL QUICK TEST AND CLEARED DIC'S."
I have now installed a NOCO Genius10 at the battery (in cargo area of my hybrid) and run the extension through one of the holes in the spare tire, across the top of the tire (under the removable cargo floor), and exit just behind the driver's rear seat (held in place between the velcro on the cloth cover behind the rear seat). When needed, I pull the extension out through the curved part of the rear door (not bottom as it crimps the cord too much), fully shut the door, and connect the extension to the NOCO. IMPORTANT...do NOT connect the negative lead directly on the negative battery post. Make the connection at the nut on the negative bracket on the other side of the BMS (Battery Management System) chip from the negative post. That way, the charge goes through the chip and accurately maintains the BMS. There's easy access to an open bolt on the positive side bracket. I like running the cord out the drivers rear door (rather than under the hood), so I can't miss it when getting in the car and driving away.
All these high-tech vehicles with internet access for over-the-air updates and other electronic demands will drain a battery in no time if sitting too long and/or just repeated short trip driving. Hope this helps some and if you have any questions...just let me know.
