    Taking foot off the break pedal disables the vehicle.

    Thanks for heads up on coolant corrosion on the inverter. I'll check it out. I do have megohmmeter bought from amazon. Not an expensive one but I think it works. I did test the insulation reisistance on the stator leads and currently getting about 3 mohms after cleaning with water and isoprophyl...

    I’ve done a continuity test with a multimeter between the hv contactors and I get a continuity. Is this ok?

    I've pretty much done what you have except yours look way cleaner. I won't be cutter the end of the rotor nor boring out jb weld. I haven't double check but I think it should work the way it is. Do you have some insight on troubleshooting the stator. After washing with water and using alcohol...

    I have question for you. I was originally thinking about doing coolant delete like you've decided but I didn't have any round aluminum piece laying around so I came up with this option and wanted to see what you think. As the picture below shows i've carved out mil or so deeper into the cover...

    I'm not 100 percent sure the car will run after rotor seal replacement. Once the car runs ok with repair, I would like to do "coolant delete" option as well. I have question regarding what you mean by "I'm going with the "don't need liquid cooling" route for mine, via the coolant manifold...

    I've taken out the seal for the rotor cover and put it on the rotor. The seal seem like tripple layer seal and only mid layer has issues. It seems to me that outer layer where the seal seals is in good condition and rotor shaft is also shiny in these locations. Only inner part of the seal seems...

    Here is the pictures of all the motor parts. Haven't removed the seals and bearings yet since I have some questions of what I should do. Should I replace all the seals if so where can I purchase them? Should I reuse seals which is ok and replace only damage seals? I've read so many posts, some...

    Taking foot off the break pedal disables the vehicle.

    Hello everyone. Last couple days has been pretty busy. Here is the image of me using harbor freight jack to remove the motor. I welded some metal piece laying around to support bottom of the motor and strap around it to secure the motor. I wondered whether it would hold the weight and balance...

    Thank you all for your replies. I don't think having this vehicle repaired for 5k+- by QC Charge is an option. I love learning new things and I see this as a challenge. I always hope I can find enough information from internet to repair broken things myself. You guys have shared so much...

    Taking foot off the break pedal disables the vehicle.

    I have installed TPD and made connection to my Rav4EV and got some diagnostic results. It shows "Faulty Drive Inverter" DI_w008, DI_f008 which both points to Drive inverter. I'm ready to get my hands dirty and take this thing apart but I'm concerned about how much info is out there to help me do...

    Update: speed sensor removed and result. It was wet. Blue coolant was below min level as shown below. TPD dongle made but waiting for laptop to install TPD and tech stream. Purchased dongle for tech stream as will. Will update more after laptop gets installed with all software and get some...

    Taking foot off the break pedal disables the vehicle.

    I'm hoping someone in the Rav4 EV community had similar issue as I have and shed some light. The car starts normal with ready indicator but as soon as I put it in drive or reverse and take my foot off the break pedal the warning light comes on and sets the drive to neutral and "Check Power...
