Green and white - wrapped. Originally red and white. Model: ZAA HA3W LDD HA3W - 0000917 Engine: Y4F1 Ext: R4WA Bought in 2019 non-functional from a local(ish) emigrating Scot. Suffered the failed BMS PCB 'LTC chip' issue which Mitsu in Glasgow (where it was when I bought it) wanted £7k (to...

Thanks KiEV for clearing that up and the useful additional info. MW

Hi, I'm only interested in charging an i-MiEV/clone's HV pack using a low amp bench power supply when the car is disabled and unable to charge conventionally eg it has a hardware fault and is likely to be sitting around for months before I get a chance to fix it. So, apologies for being...

Thank you. I have started dismantling my latest victim (a pretty blue iOn) for what I gather will be a bad cell replacement - getting DTCs; B1476, B1477 and a few others that may be related to a dead 12V battery on my MUT3 clone (all taken one after the other to show full list of DTCs as the...

You have the patience of a saint!

Hi, I have found a few references on this forum to the ability to hack the Chademo port to close the 'dcqc relay' to permit charging of a badly discharged HV battery via the Chademo port. However I cannot find a definitive guide to this procedure. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

I think you would be better off creating a new thread. I would first try another charging cable to see if it is the cable that is faulty rather than the car as the Type 1 plugs are prone to failure with age or careless handling.

Hi, With respect, i am getting the sense that you really have no idea what you are doing. ‘1MR 1/8W’ is a very explicit description for a very common resistor (and i assumed you had watched the videos in this thread already - why wouldn’t you? - and would therefore know that we are talking...

It’s a 1MR resistor needed and 1/8W worked for me - any bigger and you will have trouble installing it.

Hi, One of our i-mievs partially lost the rear most section of its plastic underbelly last week, and upon investigation, we found the rear-most battery support bracket (the one that goes from one side of the battery box across to the other, both ends of which have a large bolt going through...

Hi, As my posts state, I did not replace anything, I just added the resistor to the hybrid board (is that the PCB you replaced?). If you have replaced the hybrid board entirely with a new one, then I can’t see why this would not have rectified the fault… *if* it is the same fault that my car...

I have the same issue and would be interested n an update, please...?

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vJfpL4j28Bc Thanks for all who contributed to another successful repair.

OK. Understood. So, I assume (if I could get at it) I could measure what the car is 'seeing' by attaching the scope probes somewhere else in the inverter - the hybrid PCB? If so, I am wondering if having now added the 2MR resistance to my hybrid board, I could test it on the bench to see if...

Hi KiEV, I thnk I may have misunderstood, then, as I thought the scope probes should be put across the capacitor terminals in order to establish if the hybrid board is at fault or not...? Anyway, the inverter is out, now and I'm about to access the bottom plenum to effect the 2MR resistor...

My Ion with the P1A15 fault now won't start at all. I'm about to remove the controller to do the 2MR resistor fix and this is what my Hantek scope tells me peak capacitor voltage is 348V and although I don't know what the pack voltage actually is, I think it's wrth a try to do the 2MR resistor...

Thanks KiEV - I'll give it a go! Given that my i-MiEV is apparently only in the early stages of this problem and the car starts more often than not, will it be obvious from the 'scope trace that the voltage is sagging below what it should be (confirming the diagnosis) even though the Ready...

Hi Kiev, Thank you for your reply (I saw the reference to the index somewhere in the thread but it didn't work - probably just me). So, it seems the most reliable way to determine if my instance of the P1A15 issue is to determine the behaviour of the voltage on the relevant 'condenser'. I see...

H All, I have the P1A15 error which is still only occasional but worsening. I am wondering if (without reading the entire thread) there is write up somewhere to fault-find this issue logically from start to finish to see if my issue lies with the 'hybrid board' (if I understand things at all)...

Hi Eddie49, Thanks for your reply. It aligns with what else I have been reading on the subject. I'll update this post in due course. Mine can't be the only i-MiEV with this issue (although our roads are spectacularly bad -...
