    Any idea what may have contributed to the sticking/sticky caliper? Do you regularly use the foot/parking brake? Also, what did it entail in terms of expense to have it replaced? Thanks.

    I think FWia is intake air temperature.

    I would look at: inverter coolant temp, MG2 temp, MG2 temp, HV battery temp. Engine temp too, but it's less important.

    dealership found a low 12v battery code in the system. replaced the 12v and I will see how the mileage adjusts. They also mentioned that even though the climate system was set to Auto, the A/C button was on (it was 65 deg outside and the ac was trying to run). They speculated it could have been on for a while and was also dragging down the system. seems like a stretch, but I'm hopeful with the new battery.
