We did the 3 charge/discharge cycles as per your advice. On the first charge we had to charge at 3500 RPM. I misread your instructions so we didn't lower the RPM on the subsequent recharges. My wife test drove the car up hill 2000 vertical feet. SOC discharged on the way up and recharged on the way down. The IMA and check engine lights did not come on. The car worked as it should on that test which is a considerable workout for the IMA. Maybe the cycling worked. Fingers crossed.
