    Charging: Stopped by System Malfunction

    Where can I get the User Manuals for: - TPD - TS from?

    Charging: Stopped by System Malfunction

    What size HDD is needed to run both Tesla V1.1.46 and Toyota TechStream diagnostic SWs on a laptop? Would a large USB disk do the job (in addition to the internal HDD)?

    Charging: Stopped by System Malfunction

    I pinched the hoses and put the plugs, thus the coolant is confined in the system. Therefore, the pumps are not dry. When run, they'd cause a little, negligible cavitation, I thing. For few minutes, it should be OK..? As a result, the reservoirs on the driver side are full. And, I have the...

    Charging: Stopped by System Malfunction

    I'll first try hokiematt's suggestion to remove the fuses. Sounds logical. Thanks. Another option would be to connect the hoses by a pipe and bypass the component, 'cause, it is hard to connect-detach the OBC hose on the passenger side, it is upside down.

    Charging: Stopped by System Malfunction

    I blocked both the hoses and the tubes by male & female rubber plugs and clamped, as in the attached pics. Would they stand the pressure of the pumps?

    How about the coolant lines, should I connect them or not (OBC, DC/DC) ?

    Charging: Stopped by System Malfunction

    I'm aware of the orange plug's black handle's 90 degrees issue. I first was not able to do it. Then, while pulling the handle upward, I noticed that there's an orange lip that prevents it moving further. I pushed the lip with my finger and the handle finally moved upright. Thanks for reminding...

    Charging: Stopped by System Malfunction

    I've removed the 12V Battery, and then the orange HV connection plug under the passenger seat, the very 1st day, before I started removing: 1- JDeMo 2- DC/DC 3- OBC After putting them back (except JDeMo), should I connect the orange HV plug back, in order to run the diagnostics? (Without...

    Charging: Stopped by System Malfunction

    More I read, more I become convinced that it is the contactors, because the car has 122,000 miles (I should have told that at the beginning). If originals, they could be cooked by now. - I am loosely connecting back the OBC (minus HV & AC) and the DC/DC, - I am making the TPD connector (already...

    Charging: Stopped by System Malfunction

    Thanks for the valuable info. When I purchased the vehicle 5 years ago, all coolant levels were just slightly down. I topped them up and since then they went down again just a little. If there was a leak, wouldn't the coolant go empty in 5 years? Anyway, I just took it out (without...

    Is this the Control Board? (Photo courtesy of asavage)

    Charging: Stopped by System Malfunction

    Thanks for the info/offer. But first, how can I make sure that it is the OBC? Second, would a classic OBD-II (or, blue wireseless) do the flush/test, in case I need to? I'm attaching the only serial/version info in the back and the sticker on top of my OBC:

    Charging: Stopped by System Malfunction

    Well.. finally my EV threw out the death message. I bought this used 2012 RAV4 EV in July 2020, with no warranty left. Last week, back from work, connected it to 240V to charge it during the night, as usual. Charge time showed 03:17. Next morning, I found it not charged, with error msg on...

    Longer Range Battery / Extra battery

    Agree. However, affordable Solid State batteries (SS) are not out yet. It needs another year or two.. The thing is; I love my RAV4 EV, but my new job requires a longer range. Sadly, I am looking for a new EV, because I cannot extend its range.

    Longer Range Battery / Extra battery

    How about transplanting an entire Tesla drivetrain and battery to an already electric RAV4 EV? ;) I can use the cargo area for extra batteries.. Or, even better, with the new QS SS batteries, I wouldn't need extra space (availability wait time unknown)😁 By then, I'm sure there'll be upgrade kits...

    Longer Range Battery / Extra battery

    That's why I suggested bZ4X (new RAV4) battery, to continue using the old BMS, etc. I wonder if the design is the same, other than 92 vs 96 packs? (Tray size, battery size, cooling, etc). If yes, is it possible to remove the 4 extra packs to make it the same capacity as the original, so that the...

    Longer Range Battery / Extra battery

    I wonder if the 250 mi range battery of the new bZ4X would fit into 2012 RAV4 EV. That would be ideal for an upgrade.

    Solar DC charging via ChaDeMo, using MPPT controller

    RAV4 EV main battery power is 18kW. Intended solar system power is 2560W (101V x 25A). MPPT is 120V, 30A. Logically, I should be able to plug the PV output directly into the ChaDeMo port. With this low Wattage, I even may not need to run the A/C. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Check EV System warning message

    I have a second hand 2012 RAV4 EV, with over 105K miles on it (warranty expired). The other day, I washed the car. Next morning, I wanted to charge it. I noticed little water droplets on and around the inner black cap, and also at the bottom of the charge compartment (rubber). It was a very...
