I monitoring CAN and get IDs 0x1DA 0x120 and 0x55A for about 5 seconds then nothing. I've tried supplying power to the inverter separately from the PDM, with and with HV (207VDC Prius Pack) and nothing. Any ideas anyone? You need to start sending 0x11A 0x1D4 and 0x50B towards the inverter right awa...

I finally got it 8-) Now the code sends enough CAN messages to make the system believe everything is fine: https://i.imgur.com/1u5PVu3.png I've updated the inverter code on Github: https://github.com/dalathegreat/Nissan-LEAF-Inverter-Upgrade/blob/main/can-bridge-inverter.c Warning, that code is r o ...

Thanks @eCRX , now I made some more progress, just two more codes to squash! https://i.imgur.com/FRrq3gA.png I will update the inverter code on github once I get the last two ones fixes. The P318E in particular sounds quite bad; "Traction motor inverter is unable to receive the EV system CAN si...

I got the logs! From an e+. Still no luck with getting 500A, but we are getting there slowly. I got a lot of fault codes cleared now that I know what to send on the bus. https://i.imgur.com/WUESmhM.png Before code: https://i.imgur.com/ZLAQm2B.png After code: https://i.imgur.com/O3WGwBK.png I think t...

I have concluded that we won't get further with raising power from 400A -> 500A without a native LEAF 2019 e+ EV-CAN log.

Anyone got one?

my 160kw inverter installed on leaf 2014 gives max 145kw and 400A, why is that? changed the multiplier and there is no difference at the maximum current. I too am struggling with the 400A limit with a 40kWh pack. I've seen screenshots from Leafspy Pro with 180kW (500A), so something is missing to g...

I cooperated with the LeafSpy author, and we have now added Resolver writing natively to the app! Check out the video below for a how-to:



No longer any need for creating custom hardware solutions to do the coding!

No clue unfortunately Cees67...

On some positive news, Leafspy integration is soon done, will make a video on it when it is available!

I'm curious if you ever baselined the car with the 80KW inverter and if it shows more than 80KW at the wheels? I'm sure we'll be looking forward to you doing the same with the 160KW inverter! Yes this is the stock numbers from the 80kW inverter: https://i.imgur.com/gouXAkO.jpg And then the 110kW in...

2013 LEAF with a 110kW inverter and CAN-bridge putting down some nice smooth graphs

So I here have some pictures with the "differences" between the 110kW and 160kW inverters:

Seems like all components are the same and only firmware will determine the power output.

Also note that the car needs to be in ACC mode, not ON when doing the resolve writing! Known working "WRITE-ID-86-00-14-00-55.log" file uploaded to main post!

I couldn't resist, so I installed the 160kW inverter with the 40kWh pack. No fuse problems so far

Just got my hands on a gen4 (technically gen5) inverter! The part number for this 160kW inverter is 291A0-5SN0A. Anything I should check before chucking this into the LEAF?

Final video is now out on the 110kW inverter!

Full video on coding coming soon, here's a teaser:

You beat me to it! This is what my battery upgrade software looked like, so I was blocking most new messages: https://i.imgur.com/9tNYWtF.png I have created a repository for the CAN-bridge inverter code: https://github.com/dalathegreat/Nissan-LEAF-Inverter-Upgrade/ I'll add the magic message there :)

Great! I will work on getting the fault code cleared now.

My hypothesis is that some 10ms message is missing. The new inverter is sending a 0x120 that is just a heartbeat, so maybe the other similar ones are missing (like 0x1C2 or 0x1ED). I'll let you know if I have any breakthroughs!

This was mentioned in the video, the ZE1 inverter only needs the two first digits. That is why the rest are just listed as --



But the above commands work for all generations, the extra numbers just get ignored!

Good to know! I now made more progress on the Resolver Offset. I contacted Jim(Leafspy author) as soon as I had the first logs. Jim was able to add the resolver reading to the latest Leafspy Pro release, it looks like this: [76 -- -- -- --] https://i.imgur.com/sYOmlJ0.png I then ran my home-made wri...

I have now completed my 110kW inverter retrofit! Video on installation:



Now to figure out the missing CAN messages and resolver coding!

The sensor is screwed into the inverter base and comes with it as it is part of a coolant path. The main issue was trying to find a connector to fit, it's some kind of Denso plug I think, I just used bare pins and glue. Ah, gotcha! Can you say which fault codes are active? Can be viewed with leafspy!

Hi Dala, I have done this mod and can confirm that it works. I haven't totally finished but here are some of the things I have found: New coolant hoses needed The Gen3 has a coolant sensor underneath which needs wiring into the comms connector - this is the only difference in the wiring For some re...

Hi, I have managed to store the CAN-logs that the official Consult3+ tool uses to read and write resolver offsets to LEAF inverters. You know, this procedure: https://i.imgur.com/BM8mgum.png I've attached the .log file from my experiments, can be played back with CANrunner. Use the "WRITE-ID-86...

Wow I've never seen the Yazaki connectors go bad! Can you post some high def pictures of both ends? My simple fix proposal would be to add some copper stranding into the pin that is misbehaving, that should force the connection to become tight. But that is a temporary fix that only works reliably on...
