Hi, my car wont start at all, dead. No light, I can t even open the passenger door form inside or remote. Last full charge was Friday, disconnected the cable and I haven't use the car Sat nor Sunday, Monday morning was going for a ride and it wont turn on. Pleeeease help
First thing to check is your 12-volt battery. It's under the passenger's feet. Try jump starting like you would a gasoline car. If the car starts, get a new battery.
So how long was your car without a 12v battery in it or how long was it with a discharged 12v battery?
There was a service update program for the HV battery that came out in late 2016. Do you know if your car has had that update done? If you took your car to a dealership, they should have done it without you even asking and your service ticket should have indicated that it was done. Some think that this update addresses some of the issues that occur when a 12v battery goes bad.
Hello, sorry for the late reply. I can mention that the SAM Module is notorious for bad soldering. I also know that Fuses 34 and 35 will cause an HV Battery System Workshop error and the car will not turn on to run mode.
Try pulling those fuses and pushing them back in.
