Re: Tesla DC DC when OFF / 12V charging

Thanks guys. I figured. I originally had about 1A of drain and took the time to pull back all of the wiring to the basics and added one section at a time. I identified some large numbers in certain areas and put them onto relays that activated when the car started. Unfortunately, a large draw comes ...

Tesla DC DC when OFF / 12V charging

Hi guys. I am not sure if this has been addressed elsewhere, but wondering if there is a way for my EV to be able to keep my 12V battery topped off while the car is off. I know that while it is on, I am getting 13.6V steady, but I have a good deal of parasitic drain on the car when off (close to ...

Re: MPH through CAN from tesla SDU to speedhut dials

The above information from Johan is correct. My roadspeedgain reading had been 8.18 and this was the correct conversion. I hooked up my GPS speedo and took the 911 out for a spin and compared the readings on the GPS speedo to the CAN Speedo using this code and they were both tracking the same speed ...

Re: MPH through CAN from tesla SDU to speedhut dials

Hi guys. I read this post because I have updated my firmware and roadspeed is no longer available and it was really helpful to understand the conversion, but I still have some questions:

I have the same speedhut speedo with the following CAN:

CAN ID 599
Position 0
Bits 16
Gain 10

Re: Tesla GEN2 Charger output

I wanted to report back on my progress. As I mentioned before, I was not getting anything out of module 3 and Tom and I were troubleshooting this. I determined that all of my wiring was good and connections were sound. I purchased a backup charger, which never hurts, and it was also lighting up all ...

Re: Tesla GEN2 Charger output

Hello again. As way of an update, I have not solved my problem but created a new one, as can happen. Somehow in the process of testing the charger and alternate charger, when I was putting it all back together, the charger now clicks on and off every 5-10 seconds :(

Hi guys. I was wondering if 1.17R is still the most current version of the firmware (which I am running). If not, is it possible to post a download for the latest version in .bin and .hex? Thanks!

Re: Tesla GEN2 Charger output

So I have finally had time to pull off the charger cover to test it, but not sure what I am testing.

I unhooked the DC OUTPUT connector but the charger kept turning on and off when I did this and I did not get any readings on the output.

Re: Tesla GEN2 Charger output

Understood Tom. Well, that makes me wonder if my solder was bad on any of the connectors or some other card troubleshooting, since I assume the software works for everyone else . . . do you know if the latest version is still 1.17R? I could try an update.

I have not yet had the chance to open up the charger and check all of the wires and test the AC and HV. Before I do that, it occurred to me that when I had the V4 card in my charger, I pulled some readings for this board and wondered if these readings indicate that the third module was pulling AC ...

Hi Tom. Thanks for the reply.

When plugged in, all three modules light up and are a solid RED.'

With the new software, I am not sure where I go to enable only module 3. I recall there is a hidden folder maybe that has these settings.

Re: Webasto HVH50


you set power to 400 and wrote to an 8 bit variable


If that is the case, do I need to change it from 8 to 16? The heater can handle up to 5000W on the HVH50 and 7000W on the HVH70.

If I use the max 8 bit value of 255, by the formula of (255-256)*40 = -40, right???


Maybe check if ID 23 is ...
