The fuse under the MCU cover is there to protect the wires to the OBC and is very unlikely to fail until something in the OBC does.

Kenny sent me a DCDC board from another OBC and I've installed it, however it is not charging the aux battery. I still have the same fault lights on the dash and the 12V doesn't go up. I wonder whether I have to clear the fault from the CAN bus?

While I am waiting for Kenny to repair my DCDC board, if he can, I have a working OBC. I reinstalled it without a DCDC board and replaced the aux battery with two 30ah LiFePO4 12v batteries. I replaced the plastic battery tray with a piece of 2x6 that was thinned by about 1/8 in and...

The owners manual says it can be changed by the button under the multifunction display.

Thanks for finding a source. But Arrow wants $50 for shipping! I have no experience with smd devices or multilayer pc boards. Rather than learn on this one, I prefer to buy one if possible or find someone to repair the one I have. I doubt I can effectively determine what was the original...

The system uses a 120 amp fuse link on the right side of the positive connector to recharge the battery.

Looking for a good dc-dc converter control board for a 2012 iMiev, nichicon #PA4091RP60.

When I looked for the part number in the list, the best I found was that it is an obsolete part. Where can I find a suitable replacement?

My results are discouraging. I found 15v on the 5v buss. Q229 still checks as a good transistor, so I assume IC209 is damaged. Without being able to power up the LV section, I don't see a way to continue.

The power supply finally arrived. As I considered how to hook it up I discovered that none of the GND pads on the top of the board are connected to each other or pin 1 or CN201. So it seems I must remount the board in the chassis or create a system to connect the pads. Is it possible that...

I read 6.28k and 4.55k across C242 and C249 respectively. I assume those have to do with other current paths in the circuit. I've ordered a power supply with adjustable current limiting to try to test the 5v via TP201.

That seems to be unlikely to me. As I recall, the negative probe was in one of the screw holes of the chassis where it was for other checks and there was no reading until I twisted the positive probe in the vias to make contact on each leg.

When I got past the coating Q229 checked out OK. The vias showed continuity also. So I don't understand why I was reading 0.28v when I checked the vias when the board was powered up.

I found a chart for 100K thermistor at https://mikroelectron.com/ProImg/X4/186d503e-bf2a-4279-ac77-9b94ce1f0c80.png. It looks like 10K corresponds to 180 F. I've been puzzled that I had been reading 5v at the gate of Q203 and only 0.28v at the vias feeding 5v to IC202. Checking Q229, all I...
