So, it's finally come to this... I am the fourth owner of my 1998 native NiMH S10E. I hate to admit it, but I just don't think that I'm going to have the time to work with it any more, and so I am reluctantly offering it for sale. When I identified a bad cell in the pack in Au...

Hi, Scott-- E2 simply means Vehicle Fault. That and Standby both mean the onboard computers decided to stop. Odd no DTCs, though. Magnitude of the delay (5 minutes) suggests perhaps temperature-related issue. Monitor battery temps during charging. Also battery pack fan airflow...

Just throwing out some thoughts on charging... I have a 97 lead-acid truck so I'm not familiar with the NiMH batteries. However, I did have to deal with some charging issues. Since the Panasonic's are not available, I installed 12V/75AH AGM batteries designed for UPS systems....

Sounds exactly like my problems. It turned out one of my packs had a short that was causing the voltage diff and the E2. You should consider conditioning a new battery and replacing your bad pack, which seems to be #2. Pv On Oct 4, 2011 8:59 PM, "Stephen Weitz" <[email removed...

John-- Your codes are consistent with the malfunction of your Auxilliary Power Control Module. Two of its functions are to supply variable-frequency 110V AC to your compressor and to charge the 12V Auxilliary battery. --Gil On May 4, 2011, at 9:10 PM, [email removed] wrote: >...
