My Duinomite Mega Canview V4 equivalent Project

The information on DTCs are limited. Need to convert from decimal to hexidecimal.
4 53 1 A 93 0 0 0

Just checked my notes according to the Vass family. The 4 53 1 is the standard DTC check response from the ECU enquired. All the ECUs return the same 4 53 1 for a DTC check, so it is definitely the responce of a DTC check and not something else. However the A 93 is definitely the DTC code. I have no idea how you get the INF code. Most DTC codes start with a P (powertrain).
So P0A93 - Inverter cooling performance. Fail safe mode is "normal driving" according to the Toyota Fail-safe chart.
OBD2 regulations require that the Malfunction Indicator Lamp or MIL illuminates. If the DTC trip does not recur 3 consecutive trips it will go off automatically.
So chances are that you may have not noticed the MIL illumination when it occurred. Although there is normally a beep sound when a DTC occurs so you should have noticed it unless you had the sound system up too loud.
Since you are using a PHEV kit, that means that the inverter would be working a lot harder to drive MG2 than it would if there was no PHEV kit. I would keep an eye on the inverter temperature.
The hobbit gives a service bulletin about this DTC on how the inverter coolent pump has this problem on the 04-06 models. I assume that after 06 the inverter cooling pump has a higher flow rate to improve inverter cooling. This may only apply to Prius 04-06 in USA. You may be able to have the pump replaced for free despite the warranty expiration if the TSB also applies to your New Zealand Prius as it is a known problem.

The "Yahoo" is another mode I have added. It comes from the unsolicited CANbus message H038. It comes from the HV ECU and it is the first data byte. The HV ECU is asking that the ICE should start. Normally due to excessive acceleration. I noticed that when this byte was equal to 196 or 200 or 204 (decimal, not Hex) it happened when I was using excessive acceleration and the HV ECU kicked me out of EV mode.

 

Try my latest upload in my first post of this thread. Let me know how it goes.
This upload works OK for me so far but it only has been a few days trial.
Thanks,
John

 

Ok I will upload it again.

 

For some unknown reason the website will not allow me to upload my ZIP file. Will try again tomorrow.

 

Hi Paul,

I sent you the Canview files by email file attachment. Gmail would not let me send the basic library files (.LIB files). So I had to leave them out. Gmail says that the .LIB files are executable and are a security risk.
I tried to upload my ZIP file without the basic library files but it still rejected my upload. Maybe you will have better luck.

EDITED: I managed to change the extension of the library files from .LIB to LIZ. Gmail accepted the ZIP file and sent it to you. You will need to change the file extensions back to .LIB.

Test it for a while and let me know how it goes. If you can, upload the ZIP file in a post. As the Priuschat website will not allow me to upload the ZIP file, it keeps saying "there was a problem uploading my file", but would not specify what the problem is.
Now I will see if I can communicate with the moderator about my upload problem.
Thanks,

John

 

It uploaded OK today. At this link http://priuschat.com/attachments/canview-mmbasic-ver4-4-11042014-zip.63784/

UPDATE 26/05/2014:

Now includes a setup page. The time and date can set and the temperature can be changed from metric to imperial.

Press "m" on the keyboard to change to metric units. i.e. oC

Press "i" on the keyboard to change to imperial units i.e. oF.

For the date press the "d" button on the keyboard. Type dd-mm-yyyy then press enter.

For the time press the "t" button on the keyboard. Type hh:mm:ss then press enter.

The setup page is only accessible in the accessories one position. This is done by pressing the prius power button (after off) without pressing the brake pedal.

 

UPDATE 26/05/2014:

Now includes a setup page. The time and date can be set and the temperature can be changed from metric to imperial i.e. degrees farenheit. This makes my basic program yanky friendly and for those countries which refuse to change over to the metric system to their own detriment.

Press "m" on the keyboard to change to metric units. i.e. oC

Press "i" on the keyboard to change to imperial units i.e. oF.

For the date press the "d" button on the keyboard. Type dd-mm-yyyy then press enter.

For the time press the "t" button on the keyboard. Type hh:mm:ss then press enter.

The setup page is only accessible in the accessories one position. This accessories one position is accessed by pressing the prius power button (after shutting down Prius) without pressing the brake pedal.

 

Nope. I wish Geoff would stop updating. The new version should still support the old one. There should not be any problems with using Version 4.5. The Canview program may work better under Version 4.5 due to "many bug fixes" by Geoff.

 

Nice job. Has the potential to be hands free if using voice recognition. Like to see Youtube video of that!!!!

 

No worries. I normally do not spend much time pressing the buttons so I prefer other users to find any bugs. I will wait a couple of weeks for a full bug report from you.

I am also increasing the font size of the text in the Status box. I find it had to read in my old age.
