2. Technical explanation
The verified diagnostic title/meaning supplied is: “A87 (stored or active). Scheduled charging sta…” The available official manufacturer-communication summaries state that scheduled charging may not occur on the desired schedule. They also describe a vehicle that does not start when the ignition switch is pressed with P1AFE and P1AF8 as pending DTCs and no MIL. The excerpts are truncated, so further interpretation is not established by verified evidence.
3. What system is affected?
Scheduled charging/start-related system. A more specific system or component is not yet established by verified evidence.
4. How serious is this code?
Unknown. The supplied diagnostic record does not provide a verified severity classification.
5. Symptoms you may notice
- Scheduled charging may not occur on the desired schedule.
- The vehicle may not start when the ignition switch is pressed when P1AFE and P1AF8 are pending and no MIL is present.
6. Possible causes
- Not yet established by verified evidence.
7. Can I still drive the vehicle?
Unknown. The supplied evidence does not establish whether the vehicle is safe to drive with P1AF8.
8. Can I charge the vehicle?
Unknown. The evidence identifies a possible scheduled-charging timing concern, but does not establish whether charging is safe or whether all charging will fail.
9. What you can safely do
- If scheduled charging does not occur as expected, arrange diagnosis by an authorized Chrysler service provider.
- Record whether P1AF8 is pending, stored, or active and whether P1AFE, P0513, or U151 are also present.
