Greetings,
My Enertia died last friday. It's dead, dead, dead. It gave no warning, attempts to restart or charge the bike fails as in no power, no indication of power going to anything. The following is when, what happened and things I have checked in an effort to figure out what the solution is. If any of you can help it would be greatly appreciated. I have also sent an email to Adam over at Brammo, but have yet to hear from him.
I was riding the bike kind of hard the other day giving it frequent short burst of throttle and the bike all of a sudden went dead with no warning, about 30sec prior to dying the SOC was around 37% and when it died I think I was giving it another short squirt of throttle when I got nothing, I looked down at the instrument panel and realized that the bike had shut down. The low battery warning wasn't on prior to this happening, it just flat out died, I coasted to a stop and waited a few minutes and tried to start it again, but it was completely dead, no indications of life at all, also tried plugging in and charging it, still completely dead. One odd thing is the speedometer was frozen at 38mph, I assume that was the speed I was going at when it abruptly shut off.
The things I have tried so far to diagnose the problem are as follows:
*Checked all fuses and relays under seat with a multi-meter = all appear to be good
*Mini diode fuse' I think it's good? got a reading of 470 one way and infinity in the reverse of the diode check on the multi-meter
*Checked main power connector = Unplugged and plugged main power connector, made sure it was securely seated, didn't check pack voltage though.
I even read some place about a similar condition being fixed by hitting a reset button under the top tank body panel, the LED next to the button was not lit even after depressing the button for about 45secs-2min nothing changed, the LED didn't light up and the bike still showed no indication of starting up or charging. I had read that if the LED is red and you depress the button for 45secs it should change color, but in my case it was not lit at all.
At this point I'm stumped, are there other fuses that I should be checking that are hidden elsewhere on the bike? If it helps I'm also attaching the last two most recent LOG files in case something pops out at you. Hope you can get back to me as soon as you can. I've been really enjoying the Enertia and sucks that I have to return to riding my gas bike until I get this resolved.
As a continuation to my previous email concerning my 2010 Enertia dead bike problem. I
found another fuse located near the two fans on top of the battery charger? It tested
good also, one thing I forgot to mention is when I was pulling the side panels off, a
small 3mm allen bolt about 10mm in overall length fell out from under the left side upper
side panel when I removed it. I haven't been able to tell where it went or if it may be
an important clue to why the bike shut down suddenly?
I also checked the voltage coming off of the main power connector near the top of the
right side frame rail and I think it's only reading about .25v can that be right?
Shouldn't I be reading the immediate battery pack voltage of around 80v? Help!
Thanks!
[UPDATE@148pm PST] sorry I posted the wrong LOG files, the 2 files now posted are the correct last 2 files. #483D8AE6 should be the file that show the power cut off.
[Problem solved] please jump to reply #9 for resolution.
