I have a 2000 Ranger EV with NiMH, and around 6000 miles on it. I have had nothing but fun with the truck for the first 1200 miles I have owned it, but it now...
Hi David, glad to hear you like your ranger .... With a NGS tester the code C1838 is a sort of generic way of saying that there is no charge getting to the...
Hi frank, I don't believe ford will sell you a tester, you can buy one off of ebay and you can get the card from a guy that belongs to this group .......... ...
Hi Jamie, Would you be interested in copying the schematics and making them available to the user group. I'm sure there are a few us that are capable of...
Lanny...I hope I pulled the codes correctly...first, I cleared all codes, since I am using a used NGS for the first time on my truck...then I pulled the codes...
Hi dave, the first code C1838 is generic , it just means that there is no voltage to the batteries ... I do not remember the b1347 , the heated backlite...
Lanny...I did what you suggested, and got no codes from the TIM...I then went to the manual (I assume that the 2001 manual on the yahoogroup site is accurate...
Hi Dave, the manual you have is great , it works for all of them since it has both the NIMH and the lead acid models ... I have a hard time ever believing the...
Lanny...I certainly appreciate your counsel...I am, unfortunately, a bit of a coward and am reluctant to mess with high voltage...to drop the pack and look for...
Hi dave, yes by all means if you have not played with these it is a good idea to leave it to the experienced, you are talking over 300 volts and a massive...
Lanny...here is what I did today... BCM self test = ok BCM retrieve codes = C1838 IAA self test = ok IAA retrieve codes = C1862/U1117/U1262/U1110 TIM = U1262 ...
Hi dave, the readings all look good, (I assume the 15 to17 is % not volts) on your last readings ....... these are all good but the C1862 is the problem .....
Lanny...question: what is the 104 pin Breakout Box?...reading the manual, at 414-03B-15, item B12 asks for this...David ... From: Lanny Thomason To:...
Hi dave, the break out box is a dealer tool , I imagine somewhere there is one out there for sale but I have not seen one, it is just for testing the circuits,...
I assume that you can not get the vehicle to go to start ? Or is this just a charging issue ? It keeps coming back to the circuit to or through the contactor...
The truck starts and drives fine...I just cannot get it to charge...David ... From: Lanny To: ranger-ev@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2008 7:20...
OK, when you watch the NGS tester in the pid's in the bcm you watch aux_cnt with the charger plugged in do you see any current or is it just 0 amps . the other...
0 amps shows for aux_cnt, and BCM_OP gives me the number 88 ...does this tell you anything?...David ... From: Lanny To: ranger-ev@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
a bcm_op of 88 means that you have an under current fault ... this means not enough amperage is getting to the pack ... OK the very last test I have for you is...
done...when I looked at the values before plugging in the Avcon, they were 0 amps and 311.9 volts ..after I plugged in the Avcon, nothing changed and the...
Hi dave, yes if it starts up but is not applying voltage most likely the problem is inside the contactor box assy. , either the fuse or of course the board in...
am I correct to assume that the fuse is inaccessible unless you drop the battery box, and thus is a high-voltage repair?...David ... From: Lanny To:...
Sorry to say, yes you assume correct , a really bad design to put the fuses in a box inside another box and then put it under the ranger when they actually...
Lanny...sorry to keep asking questions, but you are a great resource...when you say I can close the relay using the NGS, what do you mean?...I am thinking of...
Hi dave, here it is ............................... to test to see if the relay for charging and the fuse is any good for charging Remove the top to the HVPDB...
Lanny...you have been most helpful...I will try to get my local Ford dealer to do this, and I will let you know what happens...again, thank you for your...
David, I guess it is about time that I chimed in here. Since you and I are much closer together than we are to Lanny, I would offer some help to your dilemma....
Hi Bouty, I know you have already dropped your pack and fixed the contactor box assy ............. You are a gentleman and a Scholar to offer your help and...
