Openinverter Tesla LDU logic board with Rav4 EV

Post by Arlin »

Hi Does anyone know if I can use this in an OEM application like in a 2014 Rav4 EV?
I am looking to replace the OEM logic board as I messed it up fighting with the bearings and I didn't put the inverter cover back on.

Non the less looking for a path forward.

Thanks.

I suppose you could in theory, if you repin the harness that connects to the car, can emulate the CAN messages to the car, and can modify the car to provide the info the OI board needs.

The table here compares the OEM pinout to the OI pinout on the Tesla units, I presume the version for the Rav4 was the same, but it could have differences: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Tesla_Mod ... ing/Pinout

Do you have a photo of your OEM board? I can compare it to the two OEM Tesla boards I have and see it its the same.
If at first you don't succeed, buy a bigger hammer.
