They are flow and return sensors for the glycol “coolant” loop used by the heater. Not sure where the sensors physically are but one measures the flow temperature going into the heater matrix and the other measures the return flow temperature from the heater matrix which will of course be a...

Duplicate post.

P1A2F is a "secondary" code which is set by other codes: http://mmc-manuals.ru/manuals/i-miev/online/Service_Manual/2013/54/html/M154921160003100ENG.HTM However none of the codes which can cause P1A2F (shown in that article) are listed above, so I must conclude that whatever diagnostic tool...

You're not far off. The official fault code description isn't too helpful: http://mmc-manuals.ru/manuals/i-miev/online/Service_Manual/2013/54/html/M154921280002700ENG.HTM But what it is is an insulation test failure between the chassis/12v system and the HV system. All EV's have the DC high...

Not as much as I hoped unfortunately. Ah capacity after doing a recalibration only went up from 32Ah to 34.5Ah, and after about 9 months use it had dropped to 32.5Ah again. This is because while I replaced the worst cells there were other cells which were not quite as bad which now become the...

I tested their capacity after removal yes, and they were much lower than other cells. Testing the internal resistance of the cells is very hard to do on the bench and not possible with simple equipment as a good cell has a resistance of about 1.5 milliohms, so has to be tested at very high...

Pepin, From what you describe you have a faulty cell, not a faulty LTC chip. If the voltage drops by much more than other cells when accelerating vs coasting the cell has high resistance. Another way to confirm high resistance is to monitor the cell voltages while DC rapid charging the car...

While the cells might be 50Ah that is a full discharge from 4.2 volts to 3.0 volts. The car only operates the cells between 4.1 volts and 3.6 volts, so the usable capacity when new is 45.8 Ah. 35Ah is therefore 76% SoH. As to whether this is good or not, I don't think you've said the age or...

Might just be a limitation of iCarsoft - I've cleared Airbag fault codes with Diagbox before on my Ion after setting them due to removing the front left seat to get at the isolator plug. (Since you have to unplug the airbags in the seat to remove the seat...)

I'm using my adaptor (first with Canion and Hobdrive, now with Leafspy as I now own a Leaf) on my son's Amazon Fire HD 8 but it's a bit of a pain as Fire OS has to be hacked a bit to get Google Play apps on it and the Bluetooth support in FireOS is a bit flaky so I'm thinking of picking up a...

Thanks. Yeah there's a lot to like about a 30kWh Leaf, it does Kinda feel like luxury compared to the Ion, especially in the heating and insulation department. :) The doors all have a thick layer of carpet underfelt behind the door cards and it seems to be draught free as well making it feel...

Recuperation means regeneration yes. Most German language speaking EV drivers seem to prefer this word even when speaking in English. :D I agree with what you've suggested - mismatched tyre sizes will severely limit regeneration, as will being fully charged. I can't off the top of my head...

Wait, they were still making them ? I thought they stopped a few years ago now. Not surprising though. Not only is it no longer competitive, Mitsubishi are really struggling. They're completely pulling out of the UK and Australian markets and possibly others as well.

I'm flattered. :oops: I saw civjdh's post on SpeakEV but after a few days nobody else had replied to it as there's really only 2 or 3 of us on that forum who have experience fixing these cars and I don't think any of us has dealt with P1A15. (I certainly haven't) I've done a cell swap on my...

Couldn't get it working here. Although the MX+ supports iOS it is not BLE 4.0 so probably only works with apps that are registered with Apple to use the adaptor. I think you'll need a BLE 4.0 adaptor to use Hobdrive with iOS. Hobdrive does work with the MX+ on Android - that's where I used it...
