Current Status

Pack dropped and opened in garage. Water confirmed in pyro fuse cavity (cover 1020227-00-C gasket failure). Module 12 and Module 14 TBMM tests: both PASS with 3–4 mV true imbalance. Strong evidence of BMB connector reading issues rather than cell degradation on tested modules.

Priority next: TBMM Modules 7 (346 mV), 6 (186 mV), 9 (190 mV), and 16 (150 mV). If these also show low true imbalance, pack is likely repairable via connector cleaning + pyro cover replacement.

TBMM Progress — 2 of 16

Module 12: SMT 81 mV → TBMM 4 mV PASS (connector issue, not cells).
Module 14 (new): Module 22.51 V • cell groups 3.749–3.753 V • imbalance 3–4 mV • temps 16.5–16.8 °C • PASS. Variance confirmed max 1 mV over 23 readings. Another strong indicator that SMT spreads are inflated by BMB connector/water issues.

Pass Criteria

Cell group imbalance ≤ 6 mV = PASS. High ≤ 4.20 V, low ≥ 3.00 V.

Fault Summary

Peak at acquisition: 22 codes. After Toolbox (June 20): cleared to 4 remaining.

CodeStatusNotes
BMS_f107Re-latchesHard block on drive/charge — cell voltage sensor inaccurate
BMS_w107PersistsWarning version of f107
BMS_u018PersistsSOC imbalance limiting
BMS_a129PersistsBMB VSH connector — water entry confirmed
BMS_u008, othersCleared18 codes cleared via Toolbox + 12V / door / CAN redeploy

Root Cause

Primary: Pyro fuse cover (1020227-00-C) gasket failure → water entry. Confirmed water + corrosion in cavity.

Contributing: deep discharge, 12V failure, charge port door swap without relearn, BMB connector corrosion.

Repair Timeline

May 2026 — Purchased Copart Akron non-runner. 22 fault codes.
May — Replaced 12V AGM + charge port door (Heli-Coil).
June 17–23 — SMT readings: 344–348 mV imbalance, healthy CAC 208–211 Ah, static.
June 20 — Toolbox 3: cleared 18/22 codes, firmware 2025.20.6, brief L1 charge (+7 mi). f107 re-latched.
July — Ervine’s diagnostic. GLEV remote: water / possible new pack.
Sept — Picked up; decided DIY pack drop.
Oct — Pack dropped (Vevor jack method), opened. Water in pyro fuse cavity confirmed. Module 12 TBMM: 4 mV PASS. Module 14 TBMM: 3–4 mV PASS (22.51 V, cell groups 3.749–3.753 V, 16.5–16.8 °C).
Next — TBMM priority modules 7, 6, 9, 16. Order pyro fuse + cover.
