Re: Charging Status PIDs

One more note... I logged the cell voltages so see if I could find any weak cells and they all seem to be pretty well balanced. I have here a plot of average cell voltage and the deviation of individual cell voltages from that average over my trip to the public charger the other night. In general, i...

Re: Charging Status PIDs

wellll ... I just typed a nice response, but the forum timed out and lost it.... please excuse me if this ends up much shorter. Thanks for taking the time to check this and typing out a nice response. I really appreciate it. Maybe you can't charge because the BMS has locked the car out due to the ba...

Charging Status PIDs

I got the dreaded "Not Able to Charge" message on my '14 Spark EV a few days ago. It seems like on my car, these pilot signal and voltage present PIDs (from the Bolt list of PIDs) aren't responding (Charge port door status seems to work OK). Do they respond for anyone whose charging is fun...

Re: Is anyone else experiencing brake issues [failure]?

I managed to drive it home carefully enough to avoid triggering the issue until I pulled into my driveway and held down the brake pedal at the right speed and pressure to throw the warning errors. Hopefully that's good enough for the dealership to figure it out.

Re: Is anyone else experiencing brake issues [failure]?

Good to know. I've been driving very conservatively with that car since the problem first appeared. Is looks like that code is probably "DTC C12B1 00: ABS Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor and Brake Pedal Position Sensor Not Plausible" https://www.autocats.ws/manual/chevrolet/tis0911/en/docu...

Re: Is anyone else experiencing brake issues [failure]?

They only replaced the 12V battery the first time and didn't replace any parts the second time. This morning, I got the alerts to trigger twice. Shortly after the problem occurred the first time, I stopped and turned the car off for a bit less than a minute which reset re-enabled the stabilitrack an...

Re: Is anyone else experiencing brake issues [failure]?

Shoot. My car started to have issues with Brake Assist/Stabilitrack/ABS about a week and a half ago. The hydraulic and regenerative brakes still work, but it requires it a lot more force for the hydraulic brakes without the brake assist. They start working again when I turn the car off and start it ...

Re: Car died, "Initializing wait shift", started after 10 mi

When I saw the "over range" indicator on the clamp meter on the 40A scale, I rethought how close I was to the battery. I haven't been working on any e-bikes, but I have an backup electric propulsion system for a sailboat using a couple of old Nissan Leaf cells. So the charger in that pictu...

Re: Car died, "Initializing wait shift", started after 10 mi

Yep, just a dead (well mostly dead) battery. I put about 35Ah back into it on my external charger, connected it back up, and the car came on and started dumping 45A (670W!!) back into the still somewhat discharged battery. I left the car on and watched it for a little bit and whatever portion of the...
