In some other threads i had posted about EVSE and charging issues due to dirt and debris in my port, and a nest of fireants in the EVSE handle. Thought i had all that cleaned up and working , but it only charged to ~10 bars even though the pack voltage was indicating 360 (which is 100% full).
So i went for a test drive and the car went into Turtle after only 5 miles. Connected CanIon and found cell #47 was ~0.2 volts below everybody else, so that would explain nearly all the weirdness except the ants, but now i have to wonder if there are more ants in the pack shorting out cell 47? And i to wonder if all the other 2012 folks having charging issues are also having defective cells making an appearance?
i had connected the clone version of the MUT3 tool and checked for DTCs before making the test drive, and none were present in the EV-ECU or the BMS, but i'm fairly sure that there will be some now.
i'll check it again with the MUT and if the cell is really out of line, then i will investigate if the 10 yr warranty is still valid...
