Re: Ukraine's civilian population needs protection!

For me, the stealing/"deporting" of children in Russian-occupied Ukraine territories, to Russia is the gut punch. I can't imagine having my kids taken by force to another country to be raised by others.

Re: curt echo brake controller needs 7 pin wiring kit?

Rather than start a new thread, I'm tacking on some trailer wiring info here. Without doing adequate research, I bought a Toyota tow wiring kit for 2006-2012 RAV4 in Feb., on the assumption that Toyota probably didn't change much of the non-drivetrain wiring from the gas to EV models. My RAV4 was sm...

Re: My own experiences fixing a RAV4 EV not charging/fuse blown issue

If LDU is Motor plus Inverter, then in this case (video) they do NOT have anything to do with the reason for the appearance of this code (BMS_f0171) in the Charging mode . I have to draw your attention to the fact that charging is done in the IGN OFF mode, in which the Drive Unit "sleeps peace...

Re: My own experiences fixing a RAV4 EV not charging/fuse blown issue

BMS_f071 is a "catch all" DTC that can be caused by many different failures, including HV isolation issues (which includes an LDU coolant-soaked stator), and corroded CAN bus connectors. Light reading of others who have had that error (in Teslas, of course) suggest both HV isolation issues...

Re: My own experiences fixing a RAV4 EV not charging/fuse blown issue

Thanks for all of that guidance, got me a step closer to tackling it. However, my resistance numbers at the charge port look normal, so may not be in the "lucky" 80% with just a fuse issue. I agree, and this is one of the cases where using alflash's remote diagnostic service may be a good...

Re: My own experiences fixing a RAV4 EV not charging/fuse blown issue

1. You showed the results of measuring the resistance between the contacts, which are supplied with a high alternating voltage of 120 or 220 volts by the ground contact, which is connected to the body of the car. According to Toyota information (https://techinfo.toyota.com/techInfoPortal/) this res...

Re: My own experiences fixing a RAV4 EV not charging/fuse blown issue

Those measurement values were taken using a Fluke 79 S2, which is an older standard DMM. As I'm measuring for an open fuse, it should suffice. I also own a Fluke 23 for low-end tasks, a Fluke 289 for datalogging, and a Fluke 1507 Insulation Tester, which while not being a megohmmeter, it will functi...

Re: My own experiences fixing a RAV4 EV not charging/fuse blown issue

Other than dealing with the arcane and fussy HVJB connections on the passenger side of the OBC, and possibly having to purchase a fairly inexpensive tool or two that you may not have already -- Torx bits, remote hose clamp tool, etc. -- I found my own experience with replacing the OBC fuses to be st...

Re: How I fixed my RAV4 EV On-Board Charger

hokiematt had some good advice for me: Testing the circuit resistance of the AC input from the J1772 charge port end should also provide some differential numbers if a leg is open. I've traced the AC inputs internally on the OBC, and they're straight into those fuses. Testing the Tesla OBC I have on...
