[S10-EV] Loss Of My Best Friend

Paul Peavyhouse Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:14:30 -0700 2014 Thread size 4
Hear hear! Hats off to Jeff, and a moment of EV silence as all electrons cease to move for a Plank Second in honor of Jeff. You are and will be greatly missed, and the world is a bit more empty now without access to the vast knowledge you had in your head and heart. Deepest re...

[S10-EV] 1994

Most likely it's a conversion of some sort if it is truly a 1994 chassis. Unless it was a conversion using the drive train from one of the '97-'98 production models, you'll likely find very little hardware in yours that is in the production models. Greg Brewsaugh 3EVs + PV in...

The factory only built S10Electric vehicles in 1997 and 1998 to my understanding. On Apr 9, 2014, at 6:23 AM, Railrider54 <[email removed]> wrote: > I just purchased a 1994 s10 ev. Does anyone know how many of the 1994 were produced? I would appreciate any information on the 1...

[S10-EV] NiMH Self Discharge Rate

Hi, Richard-- > We then checked the signal wire and also found no change in voltage. When we closed the signal wire circuit to ground the battery pack blower ran with full power. There's a clue. The signal wire is a PWM signal at TTL levels, which means that the computer can c...

I suspect that your drop in range on the new RAV4-EV is due to lower average temperatures lately in So CA. (I'm in Huntington Beach.) I was somewhat alarmed to see the same thing in our 2011 Leaf and Volt as Winter approached. Range came right back up in the late Spring the fo...

Richard: I?m assuming you have the service manuals & scan tool? having attempted this battery swap. The pack voltage ought be fine according to what you indicate. I?d clear everything and start fresh, seeing which codes reappear. I?d be most worried about DTC 280, as it contro...

Re: Lithium Conversion I keep seeing Rich Hatfield's question on the no wakeup function of his Li Pack ever since he installed a replacement battery blower. It the lack of a response the result of no one having a verifiable answer or was there a reply which I don't understand...

[S10-EV] Capacitor Issue & Ovonics NiMH batteries

That's a great post from Niel regarding the 4 filter caps in the PIM - clear explanation of why these caps are failing - it should have been written 6 years ago! What voltage are the replacement caps Jeff found rated for? I understand Don has a supply? The original caps were 2...

It is nice to see activity here. But every time I see the capacitor issue come up I get a lump in my throat. My truck, (even thou my batteries are showing their age), is running great. So to have a capacitor blow would destroy my truck. However, my truck is a lead acid truck,...

Hi, Don-- Indeed that was an evBones NiMH conversion, so a 1997, I believe, the very one which I traded to Richard Hatfield himself for his 2006 home-brew-plug-in Prius (with an added 10 kWh of aftermarket Lithiums) with which I am still quite happy. I'm glad to hear that the...

Thank you for your help. We have 4 DTCs. One is pack airflow, the other three if i remember correctly are related to startup. I am at the SEMA show today and don't have access to the codes. I will forward them when I return. Richard Hatfield Lightning Motorcycle On Nov 7, 2013...

Gil was that a 1997? If I recall correctly that did come up on the 1997 but not the 1998. Don In a message dated 11/7/2013 10:13:21 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email removed] writes: Hi, Richard-- Check the power supply voltage (stick a pin through the wire) right at the blow...

Hi, Richard-- Check the power supply voltage (stick a pin through the wire) right at the blower. I think it's the red wire. The other two are ground and an on/off command voltage. It should read about 12 volts when the blower is commanded OFF and slightly lower when commanded...

Hello Richard There are no DTC codes? If not then try disconnecting the accessory battery then the high voltage disconnect plug. Wait a few minutes then connect the high voltage disconnect plug then the accessory battery. It has to be done in this order. Sometimes you need to...
