Wow Jose, that is spectacular! You know, I had figured too that it was possible for mere mortals to change them, but was just too fearful. It just shows that 90% of the job is really just starting it. Also, it was a factor in me selling the truck, as I would never had trusted...

Great find, Jose! Nichicon is a Japanese company which usually means high quality design and manufacturing. They do have a facility in China as well. Does it say on your capacitors where they were manufactured? It is good to see all the activity in the S10-EV group. Those of y...

Hello Kevin and everyone! If you read carefully the past threads regarding the capacitors, it is really important to change them to make sure they do not burst like a grenade and destroy the PIM. I think last capacitors Jeff had, are owned by Don. I could not buy them from him...

>From what I remember, the capacitors were more prone to failure on the NiMH, but the PbA trucks could have capacitor failure too. Now, all these years later, all original capacitors would be highly suspect. According to Jeff, these parts were a compromise to limitations, and...

Hi Ryan,I too was concerned about my aging capacitors. But I was told it wasn't necessary on the Pba trucks. Hopefully someone here could confirm that info? Also, I'd like to go to lithium but the cost is a big concern. $14K is what I'm hearing. KevinBear, DE Happy Connecting....

Neil, Sounds great to collaborate! As I said, this is a back burner project for me. I have CA60s. Got them from EVTV. 100 in series provides very close voltage (320v) and total power (19KW) (and SOC calcs) to the original pba pack, with about half the volume and weight, the cu...

Good Morning, It is good to see people are still paying attention to our list (Hi Steve!)! I am afraid that I don't have good news, either. The trucks are non-op (as Jeff Thomas would say). It got to be too difficult to keep them charged with the batteries falling out of balan...

Step one would be to check for power and ground and a pulse resulting from each output with a voltmeter. You will need to jack up only one wheel and spin it very slowly in neutral, otherwise the motor itself won't turn over, rather the differential will. Once, I had the encode...

Hi Greg, Thanks very much for your info. I did notice the DTC 089 tell you to do a High Voltage Test but the DTC 090 does not. I don't know why sense they seem to be related. I don't have a 2 channel scope to monitor the square wave output of the speed sensor or a speed genera...

It’s a square type wave 0-12V. Signal A leads B by 90 degrees going forward, and the opposite in reverse. I notice DTC 089 is the same except "forward control circuit failed power up". In the diagnostics section for this DTC it first indicates to check phase winding resistance...

Thanks Jose for the pictures. I do have the shop manuals for our trucks and I've read all about the DTC 090 but all they want you to do is replace the "Power Inverter Module" which of course you can't get. What I need is the normal return signal values form the slip A and B te...

Hi George, regarding your question of DTC 090. I just checked it on the service manual, and on the diagram it seems it should be a problem with the drive motor speed and direction sensor, or its wiring towards the PIM (power inverter module). You can check unpluging the connec...
