I'll bet the gearbox-mounted selector needs a bit of lube - given it has never travelled this far before and its sticking on 'D'... You might just try moving the selector into 'C' and back 20 times or so and might 'loosen up' enough to work...

See http://winlow.co.uk/i-miev.html (scroll down a long way) for the Peugeot iOn service schedule.

What ***exactly*** does “was tested” mean and likewise “fine”? Just putting a multimeter across it and it telling you it’s in the region of 12V means very little. The only way to properly test it is to use a proper high current discharge testing device which puts a significant load across the...

I do wish peops would differentiate between the HV and auxiliary batteries when posting!

Thank you. I appreciate it is a 'bodge' and would certainly prefer to effect a 'proper' repair. I think I read somewhere here that a replacement hybrid PCB (if that's what you are saying needs replacing) is available from one of the forum members...? Also, would it be fair to say that if the...

A bit late to the party but with the aim of this being a future resource...) Not only is there a Bowden cable connecting the key to a steering lock on the steering rack but there is also another Bowden cable running from the gear stick console to the gearbox (other than the one that actually...

Yes, but not proportionately more (other than that due to a lower Cd)... and it will have used up more energy to get where it is anyway... (ie 'up')...

Hi All, Much has been written about using various systems/diagnostic tools to get an idea of how much HV battery pack capacity remains in our (mostly) venerable i-MiEVs (and clones). I was wondering how accurate one could expect simply running the car to turtle mode and then measuring the...

I think most of them were a result of the stuffed 12V aux battery...

And the P1A15 resistor repair: Secured with a blob of glue, later...

Some Cell 76 replacement pics:

Youtube video demonstrating the use of the MUT3 to diagnose the P1A15 issue by recording the start-up attempt voltage spike on the controller 'condenser' - and how to actually get to the data... Edit: I'm beginning to wonder if the upper and lower Y axis limits can be amended (using the wee...

Test drove OK but the car is clearly suffering from the usual stiff/seized-up gearbox gear actuator arm issue. I'll have to apply some lube...

However, despite the car going to 'Ready' *before* charging (but after Cell 76 was replaced) and the axle rotating in 'D' whilst still on the car lift (I didn't test drive it as the battery lid was still off), *after* charging found the P1A15 Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) appeared! I have...

Following the replacement of Cell 76 (and after a full L2 charge), the Canion report is better:
