My LTE’s BMS started exhibiting some odd behavior 12-2023 that impacted sound system, proximity alarm tone (cold frog), interior lighting, volume control, and a whole gamut of error messages including “accidental unplug”, “low battery-drive car”, “electrical system drain”, etc.
The most daunting was the 4% SOC of the LVB so about two months ago after some single digit low battery SOC notices in the morning, I contacted the dealer, they asked me to send a pic of the BMS, and I got the recall the same week. Took 6 weeks on the BMS shipping to the dealer and I had it replaced 9 days ago. Took that nine days for the BMS to “stabilize”? with the charging system and so now it operates normally or similar I think. I bribe just under 90 miles a day so that kept the LVB charged.
Now.. in the prior months, the lowest SOC charges I saw were 4% and 6%. Fortunately it always started and I ran the truck at work for up to 2+ hours to charge the LVB back up. At least the Veepeak said I was charging up. Honestly I’m unsure what was really going on as what was the true SOC? 9 days after the new BMS, things are looking up. I have a circulating fan that’s auto stop-start. Never heard it before. Maybe an OTA will sidle up. I’ve one since late June 2023 purchase.
4% SOC was low. Saw 6% one eve and I was the last to leave work. But no issues. Did a couple flash headlights/pump the brakes “resets” but not sure if that helped.
Hovers in the low 90’s SOC now so next? OTAs!!!
