Just a follow up on the leak detector ( presumed; but I am fairly confident it is, the only PCB I find in the battery enclosure apart from the ones on the modules). Like so many other parts on my 2010 model, this too is different from what later iMiEVs have. For a start, the PCB appears to be...

Hi all, I swapped the cells in my iMiEV with aftermarket cells, but as they did not perform as good as hoped, I put the original CMUs back in. Shortly after the car powered up to READY, the ready light went out and the high volt warning light (yellow car with exclamation mark) and auxiliary red...

https://forums.aeva.asn.au/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=5515&p=82776#p82776 Hi all, the trials and tribulations of the 60 Ah cell replacement are continuing. I obviously have to fix that BMS problem before I can test the pack under load. The optimist in me reckons that once the cell volt error is...

Thanks for reminding me to be extremely careful and conscious of the dangers of high voltage and high power. As I posted in the AEVA aftermarket battery upgrade thread, my intentions were to test the 60AH cell pack with the car blocked up, not on the road. But maybe that is not a good idea either.

Sorry for the mess. What I have achieved so far is to close the QC contactors with the QC relay disconnected, charge normally and drive the car. But disconnecting the relay causes the HV warning light to come on and sets DTC P1A14 (CODE No. P1A14 QUICK CHARGE CONTACTOR CIRCUIT LOW). I am...

Thanks for the quick reply. Re the P1A14 , so what would happen if I connected the QC relay with jumpers and added a switched 12 V into pos 1. Obviously without the 12 V into pos 1 the car would see nothing different until pin 10 is to ground in the chademo port. But would there be a problem...

I posted earlier that my iCarsoft i909 did read error code P1A14 but does not reset. I have questions to any of you owning one of these scanners: 1) Are you able to reset any DTCs? 2) did you successfully read the balance drive status down to the last cell in the pack (CMU 12 cell D)...

:D Yes I got this wrong, I was confused by the voltage on the blue wire. There is a picture of this black box somewhere on a blog, but for the life of me i cannot find it again Key on Acc.,volts on blue wire, pin 10 and the bunch of wires on the second bridge plug are identical. With...

As I have found earlier on the OBC repair, even though the OBC is the newer type (replaced due to a recall before I bought the car) very few wire colours match the circuit diagrams or the wiring on the other cars I have access to. But with the Covid restrictions still in force in Melbourne, I am...

The project you are referring to is using 93 Ah cells and is in Brisbane. The "Perth" project (with 60 Ah cells) is now in Melbourne and waiting for the covid -19 restrictions to end for further progress.

Hi all, am I correct that "The similar Aussie effort" refers to the 60 Ah cell replacement started in Perth WA? https://forums.aeva.asn.au/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=5515 or a bit further down: https://forums.aeva.asn.au/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=5515&start=275 Anyway, I am now continuing this project...

Hi all, good news : chargger fixed. Thanks to all for the tremendous help from the contributors here and on the AEVA fora and also the fuse one http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4310 Yes the fuse(s) from Mitsubishi were "only" 28 bucks each, not bad considering the other not so...

G'day, so pleased that I can access your (and all the others) vast experience, very much appreciated. https://imgur.com/a/iQyYHqF https://imgur.com/a/wolOdqd
