Possible Causes

Ambient temperature outside Lucid operating range, Temperature sensor drift on control board, Stiff or brittle cable in extreme cold affecting proximity/pilot contact

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Extreme temperatures can affect insulation; inspect carefully before use.

Steps:

  • Check specs: Verify Lucid’s specified operating temperature range in the manual.
  • Condition the environment: In cold weather, pre-warm the garage or allow the charger and cable to acclimate before use. In hot weather, provide shade or ventilation.
  • Monitor via app: If the Lucid app shows internal temperature readings, confirm they are reasonable.

Resolution: If failures occur within the specified temperature range, a drifting temperature sensor or control board fault is likely; replace the Lucid control board or sensor module.
