But I'll admit since then, and maybe I just did not notice it last winter, but the heater performance on battery power is really poor. I do see it drawing power now in the flow diagram, but it barely keeps the car warm.
I have this exact problem. They tell me everything is working fine. I have to hit esave or sport mode to turn the ICE on to get heat. No codes though. Arghhhhh
 
Several weeks have gone by after ECH replacement. Heat won’t work in electric mode and was just dealing with it. Dealer started another star ticket after the light came on last week. I sent a buyback request letter to mopar. I doubt that will happen.

Do you the part number of what they replaced? In a previous post, you said you had your battery coolant heater replaced. The battery coolant heater and the electric coolant heater are two different things. The electric coolant heater is the one that causes issues with cabin heating in electric.

I don’t have part numbers. I assumed the battery coolant heater was the same. I’ll need to check on that.

It is unfortunately not uncommon for dealers to incorrectly replace the bch when trying to deal with an ech issue.
 
I haven't been on here in a while.....The first week of February, I got the infamous P29BB. I had it as a new code and a stored code. I cleared it and it came right back. I wasn't in FORM and 1 week prior I had an Oil and Filter change. I contacted my local dealer (not who I purchased from, my wife is active military and I'm retired military) and they said April 2nd was the soonest I could get it in. I said unacceptable, I scheduled the appointment then called another dealer about 30 miles away in a large city. They got me in 3 days later. They said it was the Electric Coolant heater but....they had to do about 12-15 hours of flashes before they could replace the part according to Jeep. I dropped it off on a Friday, and they worked on it Friday and Saturday. Monday afternoon about 2pm I called them. They said they were just getting ready to call me they replaced the ECH and added some coolant and its ready to go. I couldn't believe it. We picked it up and it's been working well. We have 11,3xx miles on it. Purchased in October of 2022. Everything else has been good so far...we do have the clunk in the front end since new...sway bar disconnect I assume
 
So, I've got 2023 GC 4xe. I'm pretty sure the ECH is going out or it's already out. My dealership and case manager don't have any idea what's going on with my Jeep. Is there anyone on here that's had the ECH replaced...should you provide me with the name of the dealership and service rep that helped you with your replacement. My Jeep won't go into electric mode. And I'm almost sure it's the ECH. So, if anyone can provide with the information I would greatly appreciate.
Thank you
My 2022 4xe had the same issues and it was the ECH. Rev'd high, would not go to electric mode and was just wasting gas. I went to my dealer, Lawless in Woburn, MA and they replaces the ECH and it has been fine. I had roughly 16,000 miles when this started to occur. Sounds exactly like my issue. Also, the screen would read electric mode unavailable interior heating or cooling.
