20% SoC and 7km RR would mean about 35km @100%, yet it gives you 129km, fully charged? You GOM is way out, so it doesn’t really matter Whatever your current battery capacity is, it’s not 16kWh, as charge efficiency is only around 70% Don’t think the battery calibration will work if you...

Hi Matt There is a good chance that this can be repaired DIY style for a couple of bucks if you’re ‘handy’ with a soldering iron (or know someone that is). https://myimiev.com/threads/the-troubleshooting-and-repair-for-on-board-charger-obc-thread.4079/ Given that your battery is only 3 years...

Correct, there are even instructions on how to disable it on an Outlander: (link in post 25) https://myimiev.com/threads/i-miev-and-lexia-3-and-diagbox.4042/page-2 Unfortunately there is no such option for a triplet, maybe a bit of black tape could do the trick?

I believe that’s different on a triplet, the TPMS controller is built into the ETACs ECU and therefore communicates via CAN?

Not sure why anyone would need 10 car keys 😉 but below seems to do the job at a fraction of cost mentioned above.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Duplicating-Machine-Vertical-Cutting-Automatic/dp/B0CKBQ78M9

Unlike in many other countries, the UK have an excellent network of independent EV/PHEV specialists garages: https://hevra.org.uk/

Uxxxx are communication errors, if your head unit isn’t able to “speak CAN” it seems above DTC is set. A bit of an overkill to go to all that trouble to clear an insignificant DTC but if you’re planning to replace the head unit anyway, I would choose something that supports ‘Apple Car...

I have recently changed the single DIN Kenwood stock radio to a Sony xav-ax1000 double DIN unit I got off eBay The swap was surprisingly easy, cables were literally plug and play, just the facia needed a bit of a trim. Works great on my 2011 built I-Miev, (UK version), sound has improved...

Looks like it, but then why would anyone feel the need to disable TPMS?

You can get CCS to CHAdeMON adapters these days for the I-MIEV, not cheap but they are reported to work https://myimiev.com/threads/ccs1-and-ccs2-chademo-adapters.5624/ You must be one of the lucky ones that have the remote option fitted, as without one cannot heat the cabin while plugged in...

Maybe it’s the brake vacuum pump that’s draining your 12Vaux and blew a fusable link somewhere between the OBC and the battery? ‘Quite high’ is a bit of an understatement if a 40Ah battery is drained in 30min, unless of course it’s not fully charged to begin with, did ye fully charge the new...

If you do what @kiev mentioned on a regular basis you don’t need MUT/Diagbox as changes will be small and the BMU will automatically update the capacity. In your case however the ‘native’ calibration will most likely take months as the value is way off and automatic adjustments are done in...

The principle is to deep discharge the battery (using heater) and then measure the energy used to fully charge it again. The lower the SoC to begin with, the quicker the process.

No need for further screen shots; just some clarification, after you tested MCU3, did you ever put back MCU2 and checked them values again? The car thinks it’s currently fitted with a brand new battery, however I tested this replacement function once with Diagbox and 45Ah was the max I could...

I don’t think any of the battery capacity values displayed with ODBZero are accurate as the car sat idly for months but MCU3’s seems just impossible. IIRC OBDZero is using two capacity PIDs, one from the car (MCU?) and the other from the BMU, one can see both values in the OBD tab (use <> to...

Hello and welcome to the forum Great to see it’s still going strong after all those years. Did you ever change the 12V aux or is it the original? If it’s older than 3 years I would consider buying a new one and charge it fully before you swap it. It may sound like overkill but your OBC will...

I gather disabling TPMS is one of your goals but what else is there that’s worth the effort?

Hi Jim Thanks for taking the time and putting the VLinker MC to the test; pity it doesn’t work with Car Scanner as it’s one of the easier apps to read/clear DTCs. However there is a good chance it will also connect via HobDrive as the app has been reported to work even with basic ELM327 OBD...

Getting a second hand I-MIEV is probably one of the most affordable way to get into EV ownership, certainly if you’re looking for a ‘city car’. But like with any purchase (especially EVs) one should properly research the capability and limitations of a model. Fair play to @jacques2 for doing...

‘Yellow car !’ can have a multitude of causes, you need to read the DTC codes to diagnose the underlying problem. … that’s a know issue, see below
