    …than me about the innards of the TractionBattery. I've set up one of my ScanGauge-IIs to have one of the X-Gauges as the "csd" (delta state of charge between all the modules) which (so far) has always shown 0%. which I think (hope) to be A Good Thing. Does anyone know exactly what the csd displays (is it the delta of the modules, or each individual cell), and is my assumption correct? …and at what reading should I start getting worried? @jeff652 ? …anybody? Thanks in advance! :)

    I operate under the "ignorance is bliss" mantra ;).

    Since there's "not much I can do about it" other than worry, I watch the road and impatient drivers zooming in and out:).

    After @Mendel Leisk experience with the OBD port, I keep mine free of stress(y).

    Well I have not used that x-gauge, but I can tell you it would be voltage delta between blocks, not cells. The car does not monitor individual cell or module voltage. The lowest level the car goes is blocks (one pair of modules is a block). If it's always zero I would question the x-gauge itself. There is always some amount of variation between blocks/modules/cells, so it should be showing something.
