Polestar will not charge after ECU flash - Wesley - 02-13-2025

Hey everyone,
New to Polestars and OrBit. I have a 2022 Polestar 2 DMLR. I picked up OrBit because the previous owner was logged in as admin and didn't give me all the keys. So I used OrBit to erase, redo the keys, and then factory reset. Everything was fine until the next day, I decided to try to add features to the car.

I attempted to add ACC and PA following the instructions in the forum. It wouldn't take and just returned to previous options. I tried again, and again it didn't work. I received an airbag warning and went into turtle mode. I cleared the codes and everything seemed okay.

Next I tried to change line 109 Active High Beam to "06 with AHB3 (Adaptive) Pixel Light". Also did not seem to work.

So I called it a night and plugged the car in to my wall charger 120v, and noticed it wasn't charging. I've tried the following fixes:
  • Unplugging the charging cable and plugging it back in, making sure to securely hold the cable until after it locks in.
  • Reloading the car file I downloaded before I started making any changes.
  • Returning it to OEM
  • Clearing the codes.

Nothing has worked and now my main battery is a ~30% while my 12v is reading at 11.25 volts @ 55% charge.

Does anyone have any ideas? The nearest Polestar service center is > 2 hours away; I certainly don't want to have it towed down there.

Thanks in advance.

Had this happen after adjusting some options. I locked and let the car sit overnight, next morning I plugged it in and it charged like everything was normal.

Thank you for the reply. I tried it, and at first it wouldn't charge again but after I got in it and fiddled with the controls it woke up and started charging. Huge relief!
