Thanks. I didn't realize I'd chosen the miev van profile originally. Definite oversight.The miev only has 88 cells, so the 117 makes no sense.
I've added the following note above to the posts with that 117 cell screenshot and will post more correct screenshots later. I wanted to keep the mistakes posted so others could read and learn in order to avoid them as well. Thanks for you and Mickey pointing that out.
Later Edit: My i-miev does NOT have 117 cells. I had the wrong profile chosen in hobdrive. I had somehow chosen the miev van titanate profile which is INCORRECT. It should be the i-miev LI-ION profile which will show the correct 88 battery cells. So this screenshot for hobdrive below is not reflecting reality correctly within this post. I will post correct screenshots again in a later post below.
Yes, I drained it down now to about 61-63% while it is sitting idle. But I've not tried to charge it up yet. In fact, I'm glad you asked as I was going to open up the MCU this morning, but will first try to charge it to confirm if this is working. I was assuming the charging was all working as it had a full 100% charge when I got it, so thought the prior owner had tried to charge it to see if that would fix it, but that didn't help. I'll test charging this morning before taking opening up the MCU.i know you drained your pack from Full, but does your car charge properly with no DTC?
The cover of the MCU can be removed without disconnect under the seat, if care is taken to ensure there is no HV from the pack. The only reason i mention is that many folks have caused an Airbag system fault when doing this, and that code can't be cleared easily. If the correct sequence is followed then the DTC won't occur, but more times than not folks get caught by it.
Oh, I was forgetting about that airbag fault I'd read others cause. I think people get caught up by this because in other forums I'd read that the seat needs to be pulled out completely. But read elsewhere here on this forum I think it was that you can just slide the seat all the way back and still get access to the cover. So that is a lot less work unbolting and risking an error from disconnecting that sensor. This is why I hang out here. You guys save me so much frustration and risk. Thank you.
That question I must have missed. I'm usually pretty good about reading everything carefully but don't recall that one. Apologies. The screws on it? I'll try to find your question and reply.You never answered my question about the fasteners on the OBDLink LX, but i'm happy to sit back and watch.
Thanks again for this. It all helps.
Sadly it will be 3 days before the auction ends on the MCU we're bidding on, so I will lose some days here.
But I have ordered the best FULL CHIP version of the Lexia 3 cable as recommended by that all French language forum site. I'd done further reading and it really matters it turns out to get the best one as lesser quality versions of this cable don't always write properly nor work with all versions of Diagbox like the FULL CHIP version does. I'll share more on this later.
Thanks guys.
