Hi All,
Firstly, I have posted this on this forum as it sounds like an identical fault to Rupert Burbidge's one on his C-Zero, also on this forum.
I also first reported this on the 'myimiev' forum.
Background:- I bought my first i-MiEV (an i0n) in Jan2014, used, from Somerset and I lived in E Herts at the time. I was very taken with the car and EVs in general having first got into them by converting a Daihatsu HiJet van from petrol to electric in 2009. The i0n was sold on to a friend 2 years ago who lives (owns, actually) the Hebridean island I now live on (with my ever-expanding) collection of EVs. My current i-MiEV was bought earlier this year from a chap who lived north of me on the west cost of Scotland (who has since emigrated) with an existing fault with the battery that was getting steadily worse. This manifested itself by the car dash showing a fault (I never did get a precise description from the previous owner) but it was eventually taken to a 'local' Mitsu dealer to get fixed. In the meantime he left for Australia and as Mitsu wanted £X,000's to replace the battery, I ended up paying a very low price for the car that was otherwise in very good condition, especially so considering it was one of the first to come to the UK (in 2009) and is still in its SSE livery. It has a 'dumb' charging cable - so won't charge from a 'proper' charge point (without an adaptor) - 13A socket or CHAdeMO only.
So, when I eventually got it onto the island, here, I had a go with Cani0n using the LX dongle and identified a few issues (see screenshots below). I actually wanted to use the MUTIII clone I bought in 2014 but I had, in the meantime, leant the thing to someone and when I went to use it on the i-MiEV, I couldn't find the software. I eventually managed to get some new software and got the MUT working.
So - original Cani0n/MUTIII screenshots done about 6 months ago...
Other matters have got in the way of progressing things but I have now a workshop to work in so onwards and upwards (hopefully).
I tried again with Cani0n a week or so back and now get this when I try to look at the battery info page... (ODO reading etc correct - but note the 'Volts' and SoC readings)...
