I tried something odd the other day, I was driving in manual mode just to be different. Driving was fine, but when I came to a stop I noticed a vibration. Engine was off, in hybrid mode, in drive and transmission had reset to gear 1, brake was pressed. I could distinctly feel a shaking through the seat and even the steering wheel. (music was off, no other unusual noises)
I changed out of manual mode at the next traffic light, and it was gone. no shaking. The next light I switched back to manual mode, and it was back again. I tried different drive modes, no difference. The only difference was the manual mode setting. Vibration was not noticeable when driving, just when stopped.
It got me thinking, besides the Aux Trans pump, what other electric motor is running (and only in manual mode) that could cause this? It's not an issue, just curiosity.
(I went to find an image of the truck's electric motor.... amazingly I couldn't actually find one, or a part number for the motor itself!)
