Hi - from the south west UK.
I've had my RAV4 PHEV for couple of months now and twice in last week have had this warning message pop up twice now "Engine started to protect system. EV running unavailable"
Both times has occurred on motorway whilst in HV mode at speeds 70-80mph.
Normally I manually toggle to EV once leaving the motorway and speeds lower, but with this displayed the engine stays on.
I've got over 3/4 charge at the time.
The energy monitor shows the battery is contributing but I never get to the point where the engine switches off again - I've driven another 20+ miles/1/2 hr with engine still on when usually it would have toggled to EV. I've tried stopping the car , switching engine off and restarting and it still persists.
A bit annoying as I'm using fuel I don't need to.
Anyone else had this and causes/how to prevent?
Thanks in advance.
