Hi Ryan, The resistor is adjacent to the BPCM on the shortest pigtail. Easy to see when your pack is open. You will also need TIS2000 software on a XP machine in addition to the tech2 to complete pass-through programing. Steve From: Ryan Dela [mailto:[email removed]] Sent: Tue...

Thank you for the information Steve. I will scour the manual to look for where I can find this resistor in the vehicle. I have avoided using the Tech 2 to make changes, it sounds like I will have to get more comfortable to get this converted back. The modifications to the batt...

Hi Ryan, I am not sure of everything that Jeff did in his conversations (I have one of his packs in a truck but have not opened it up yet). Nevertheless, I generally believe you would only need to reprogram the BPCM to the PbA calibration. You would have two choices of PbA cal...

Regarding the use of the Ovonic NiMH modules While they might be useable, to do so however is with great risk. NiMH chemistry charging is done with overcharging balancing, which puts them in high risk of thermal runaway, and catching on fire. If you we?re going to use the Ovon...

That must be a regular S10 converted. The only factory S10-EVs produced were in 1997 and 1998. There was also, from the factory, a neat little "ELECTRIC" emblem on the doors, and maybe the tailgate too IIRC. There were several people from years ago, Don in Oregon and Kevin in...

I would expect DTC131 to set in the PCM if the BCA measured voltage and the BPCM voltage over UART do not agree in the situation you're describing. If you were to try rewiring the BPCM to measure all 27 modules between J1-1 and J1-32 then you would expect to see BPCM DTC219 wh...

Question for the group. If I were to add a 27th battery to my pack, there is obviously no signal wire to the computer. Total pack voltage would rise by 12 volts to 324 volts, but the total sensor wire voltage would still be 312 volts. Would this be a conflict to the BPCM? With...

Although I like the specs on these pouch cells, I haven't found a good price on them. After a quick search, It seems a 60 AH pack is between $7,000 to $21,000 using 3.2 V- 30 AH pouch cells at $52.00 each. To have a range of 400-450 miles, you're looking at 5 or 6 times that c...

Hi Eric, Thanks for the input. I think the 18650 cells are a better choice for several reasons. The Prismatic cells, often called "Yellow Bricks", don't have the energy density of 18650's and you can't even fit a 100 AH pack in our battery box. However, at 3.2 volts per cell,...

Ok gang coolant does matter. It must be Dexcool and will say it on the container. AutoZone or Oriellys, yes its typically orange. The conversion to NiMH from lead on the 1997s were not an easy modification. The programming of the BPCM alone was not enough to make it all work....
