Hey Joe, I dont know about the 98.5 % also. I did a timed over night charge full charge. In the morning i was in a hurry to start i just noticed it before leaving and took note of it. Canion and the a/b odo were pretty close so i guess that validates canion distance measurements. Below 100...

Well I guess I was inspired by Martin taking a long loop trip in his imiev every year. So I decided to to a loop around the island of Montreal. Google maps told me it was about 125-130 km, it was difficult to modify the map to the roads I wanted to take to get an exact distance but it was a...

I experienced this also while measuring the 12 volt loads. At one point while putting an amp meter on the 12 volt battery I think the 12 volt became disconnected while the car was in ready mode and the exclamation point symbol came on. The car ran fine and i used it for months with the light...

My first attempt was a 1500 btu or 440 watt tent heater. The brand was coleman. The only mod i did was add a fan to help move the heat off the heater. The heating plate gets very hot and the temp just above the plate is very hot like it would melt plastic. The fan moved the heat away from the...

Could this possibly be a problem with the brakes binding ? It's easy to check at least..... Don......

Hey Dani, So I had another look at the online wiring diagrams. In the section:MAIN BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The first diagram shows the current sensors in the battery wired to the BMU. There are 4 wires RED GREEN WHITE and BLue on pins 31,32,33,42 of one of the yellow BMU connectors. I...

Hey PV1, I wonder how it would work. If you have both packs connected during charge. Doesnt the bms taper the charge current as the battery get to full ? how would that work with two packs if the charge state of each one is different ? Maybe the fuller pack would charge the less full one and...

Hey Dani, Congratulations on the great work and the photos. I assume you are charging the the 2nd pack with an external charger. It looks to me if I understand you correctly that you are able to swap the BMS CAN signals from the internal and external pack and read the voltages from either...

A russian take on this.... http://youtu.be/_SlrFizejes Don....

I dont know where these guys are but they sound like they are from Quebec. http://youtu.be/NtrAmnUgo9I Don......

I seem to remember some discussion about the inteligent parts of the imiev being programmed with the vin number. I dont know if i understood this correctly but my understanding was that it was to prevent parts swapping. I.e. You would have to install a part and then program it with the mut 3 to...

Sorry to hear that adam. Sounds similar to the problem i had. The ac compressor was still working but making noise. I hope it lasts. Perhaps you can contact dani and get the compressor from his wreck if it fails completely. Don......

Has anyone given any thought to dc charging the imiev from a small solar array directly ? I believe the OEM evse would not work without mods because of the ac transformer it uses to generate low voltages for the internal circuit. But other then that would the onboard charger work off of dc ...

OMG, Its hard to believe that a car in this state is showing a ready light. With all the airbags deployed? Did someone previously connect a mut 3 and clear out the accident codes ? In any case i'm glad its in good electrical shape. Dani what is the end game for this car ? Use the pack for...

This thread discusses pack removal and there is a link a few posts down to an online document from mitsubishi for removing the pack. http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1323 Don....

If the heater element shorted it should have blown the 50 amp fuse dedicated to heater which is located in the battery. It might also have blown the 280 amp main fuse in the battery but I suppose the 50 amp one should have gone first. This is shown in the following diagram...

This is what i found regarding this code from the online manual: http://mmc-manuals.ru/manuals/i-miev/online/Service_Manual_2011_2012/2012/54/html/M154920060003700ENG.HTM P1A15 High-voltage system error (1)...

In that link i posted under section 55 Heater Heater inspection There is a couple of figures for the inlet and outlet temp sensing i think this is what stan hardwired with the 100 k ohm resistors. Don.....

The resistors are 100 k ohms and it looks like they are used for the heater inlet and outlet temp sensing. As far as i can tell there is no can bus going to the heater. There is a can bus going to the a/c. Below is a reference for this...

If you can get the car up and running with the resistors i would suggest forgoing the electric heater and going with a diesel one if you live in a place where it gets really cold. Its nice to have both but given the situation you could get a new diesel heater for about $600 i think from...
