I wouldn't be surprised if the shift cable was the exact same as an automatic transmission "gas" S-10. I seem to recall the "PRND" display on at least the 1998 S-10E actually was carried over from the auto-transmission S-10 because if you look closely and diagonally through th...

So after waiting about a month to hear further responses, I conclude that my truck is likely the only one still running on the Ovonic NiMH. Somewhat sad to know that, but I'm more inclined to believe it now. It takes a lot of knowledge and maintenance to keep one alive, and th...

Hello all, Here is how I laid out my pack. They are taped together to make "modules". Only 1st level is used. I will be looking for some kind of foam rubber to lay on top, to keep them from bouncing up, with the lid compressing that. Currently, I am spoofing the 26 12v sense l...

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...

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...

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...
