It happened again after a long while. Took a longer trip to Lowes. It started right back up. Got back home and went to move it a half hour later, wouldn't start, same code.
Cleared the code, started right up, parked it in the garage.
So....apparently it happens after a longer trip and...
Hi kiev, It starts right up everyday. no more failures.
So....I checked the aux after driving the other day, it was 13.10. Its charging fine.
I checked while on ready....14.42.
The problem was intermittent....whatever it was.
Maybe a relay? If it fails again....I could pull the relays and...
I drove it some more. Starts right back up.
I just started it and shut it down about 50 times in a row.
kiev, when it failed on me yesterday, I heard all of the relay clicking and I believe contactors also, then it failed, wouldn't go to ready, and set the i light.
Maybe it's failing in...
Darn....it happened again. My wife drove over to my daughters. Wouldn't start, i light on.
I went over, cleared code, started up and drove home.
At home, 12V aux checked at 12.77.....all good. Raspberry usually reads 12.82.
I started it right back up.
It's intermittent.
I decided to...
Well, it's been one week. It's all good. It works. I can't believe it but it works.
jray, my wife said I should go buy myself something. :lol:
I'm going to drive silver over to the dealer and sit there outside the garage and service dept.. and let it evolve. I want to see what they say...
Hi kiev,
It works.
Took a trip. Started right back up.
I'm charging it up now. Noticed after charging the main battery for about a half hour, 12V jumped to 13.08. It works and drives great.
How did you know from the start....there's nothing wrong with the car and that it was likely the...
I have maybe a dumb question.
Why would they make a car that if the 12V battery gets discharged, it sets a code and the car cannot be started again without removing the code?
In other words, what good would jumping the car do when it isn't going to start anyway? Or what good would charging...
Well, it went like this....
It works!!!!!!!!! It's alive!!!!!
So....got out there this morning....check the V on the Silver Aux.....12.51. This is after I had it charged to over 13V. Thought....go in the garage and check Raspberry.....12.82.
Figured....no point in switching batteries...
Thanks kiev.
First....since it starts now....I'll put the meter on the 12V and go to ready....and see what it reads. I already did this to raspberry, so I can compare the readings. I'll do it tomorrow. Can't take it anymore today.
If that is no luck....I'll put the raspberry battery in...
Well, Got stuck at the store. Hooked up i909 and cleared the code. Started up.....drove home. Now at home, it starts right back up.
:lol:
I don't know what else to do except switch 12V batteries.....and see what happens.
Thanks,
Dale
I cleared the SRS codes.
Drove around.
There's nothing wrong with the car!
So far. So good.
Going to make a longer trip now like my wife did when all of this started.
Taking my i909 with me.
:lol:
Thanks.
kiev, two SRS codes set.
FL side ABG squib open
DR seat position SW open
I think I can clear them after checking wiring, fuses, etc.....and then drive it and see what happens?
Any idea what the codes mean?
How do these codes have anything to do with the HV light code originally set?
What...
kiev, forgot to mention it charges too.
Supposedly, they already did an SRS recall.....years ago.
I am wondering if the 12V aux. was low and caused all of these problems. We don't drive it that much.
I dread taking it back to that dealer. I want a refund for diagnostic work and towing.
I'm...
