Re: GS450h is jerky

I haven't experienced this myself but one of the reasons Toyota/Lexus hybrids become jerky in electric mode (according to John Kelly of Weber) is if one or more of the stator windings has shorted or partially shorted. Just to eliminate this possibility you could try checking the resistance of each l...

Re: Newb question on GS450H

Nobody on this forum has done it, just a couple of others here saying they also wanted to do it. The big hurdle seems to be that someone needs to reverse-engineer the software. All the other functions are described in other places, but someone needs to bite the bullet on the software to get the thin...

So with the Microchip CAN Bus Analyzer, you're winning now?

It's just I want to get something to analyse can bus coms but not sure I want to spend $200AUD on one, but if it's superior and easier to use than other options then maybe I'll get one.

Re: GS450H Discussion

Running MG2 only until we request a certain torque value makes a lot of sense, since we run these motors via a torque request, there shouldn't be an issue with bringing the second motor online. I'm not sure how the inverter will handle this, however. If we request 0 torque from MG1, will it oppose ...

Re: any source for Lexus gs450h can hacking?

Before removeing the ICE you make some canlogs. Of the time it was happy. That's your starting point. Then the next step is to do a MIM on the MCU now you know what it sends. Now you replay only those ID's of the MCU of your recording. If the car is happy now you have enough data to proceed taking ...

Re: Where to buy SDU Molex housing?

The housing clips into the Tesla casting so I reckon that's made just for Tesla. The listed Molex panel mount ones don't do that and they max out at 12-pin, no 20-pin panel mount version listed. I reckon your best bet is to send a pic to Molex and pray that a good person there sends you the housing!...

Looks like a panel mount housing but what's going into the back of it? The way you describe it being 'straight not right angle' sounds like you're saying it is PCB mount at the back but without pics how can we tell? It might be proprietary for Tesla, made by Molex? I wonder if you can send your pic ...

Re: Where to buy SDU Molex housing?

It's 'Keying B' type, so if it's a male housing it's Molex part 33482-2102. If it's a male header (PCB mount) it's Molex part 34830-2002. If you go to Molex and search these then click on the 3D viewer you'll see the keyway types match yours where it's broken. The stock pictures on Molex datasheets ...

You are asking for the stator winding resistance right? Or you asking for resistance from winds to aluminium case of transmission? This number should be above 100meg ohms.

Is anyone here with a known good GS450h transmission able to take mΩ readings of the stators in MG1 and MG2 for me?

Mine measure rather uneven and I'd like to compare with a known good example in case I melt an inverter & harness powering up a bad stator.
