Audi A2 Conversion

On this page we describe the conversion of an Audi A2 1.4i petrol to electric propulsion. We will use the following components:

• Nissan Leaf 24 kWh battery pack with original BMS
• Toyota Prius Gen 2 (2004-2009) transaxle with matching inverter
• openinverter Prius Gen2 motor controller
• openinverter main board running stm32-car (VCU in ECU enclosure)

Pin mapping

We start out by mapping out useful pins of the original wire harness

ECU

The ECU has two connector slots, a smaller one with pins 82-121 and a larger one with pins 1-81. Here we map out pins useful to us
