Hacking into Zoe's CANbus

[jmeijer]

@Zoelibat: I don't know what the status is of the iOS version. The French gentleman developing it is doing this totally separately. I simply cannot say anything about it. Not because I don't want to, but because I honestly don't know.

There will be a new version indeed as soon as the diagnostics stuff stabilizes. For those into these things I can promise that while it will look very very "technical" and not "pretty screens" there will be a TRUCKLOAD of new information available.

@Jack76: way cool and thank you for that link! The things we specifically did for the 90 versions have more to do with charging planning. I am glad to see results are pretty neat already.

Yes, all the code is already in for the '90 models. I have to say though for now we've only changed the various battery parameters, but we assume the computers are the same and use the same messages etc. As we have no 90 model to play with, that is a bit of a gamble.

Personally, I think the 90 will do great, though there will be price pressure soon.

Thank you so much for your offer for translation. To be bluntly frank, we have not put much effort in separating out language strings. I will put that into an issue request. Only after we have fixed that we can start thinking about a multi language version. It might be quite a while, there is still SO much to do and there are only two people developing in spare time.......

Right now, I am just wrapping up Diagnostics ans DTC displays, which was LONG overdue.

but you can always message me when you are ready and i will translate it for you

Thank you!

Hallo!

Ich möchte mir ein preiswertes Android Pad zulegen. Gibt es schon eine Zusammenstellung, welche enthält mit welcher Android Version (Minimum) und welchem Gerät CanZ.E. stabil läuft.
Ich dachte, das bei canze.fisch.lu mal etwas gesehen hatte. Ich kann es aber nicht mehr finden.

Question about those DTC codes, I'm following up this Message:
http://www.goingelectric.de/forum/renau ... ml#p445289

In short after problems with his 12V-Battery and finding himself taking his Zoe to his Dealer, he noted that the Renault-Engineers found "PEB - Error: DTC0852F1"
Do you have some clue about the descriptive meaning of this error code?

many thanks

Jack

0 => Standardized error drivetrain (usually displayed as P0)
852 hex = 2130 decimal => Device= DCDC driver (the 12 volt charger)
F1 hex => Test = Safety Case 1

I have no idea what "Safety Case 1" means, but yes, it is saying the 12 volt charger is kaputt. But to be honest, if it is a 2013 ZOE, first thing I would do is change the battery.

Hope this helps

Horribly outdated. Anything running Android 4 or higher and having a Bluetooth interface should work. For use in the car you might want to have one with a light sensor so it dims itself when driving at night. You do want one with play store installed though. I don't think many are sold nowadays without, just make sure. If it runs gmail and maps, it usually does.

@jmeijer: Many thanks!

Hi jmeijer,
this is the original printed Version of the error-message.
There are some additional Information, perhaps they are useful.
My battery is 1 year as i wrote here http://www.goingelectric.de/forum/renau ... ml#p445438
Many Thanks

Brilliant, thank you for the screen print. For instance, 7034 means:

"Voltage demand for the DCDC converter from the EVC".

I didn't know a DTC relates back to additional measurements. Of course it makes total sense, but unfortunately, I have not seen any reference to those PR numbers.
