Battery management module recovery

Recovering a battery management module that will no longer communicate. What this is, and clearly what it is not.

Trade documentation

This is module reference: what the tuning software can change inside a control unit, and which vehicles and ECUs each one is proven on. It is written for tuners. If it is your own car, you do not need to work any of this out - tell us the car and the symptom and we will tell you what applies.

Diagnostics and ECU

A battery management module monitors cell voltages, temperature and state of charge,
and controls charging and balancing. When one stops communicating the vehicle usually will
not move.

Recovery here means restoring a module that has lost its data or become unresponsive,
so it talks to the rest of the vehicle again. It is a software level repair of a control
module.

To be clear about what this is not: we do not carry out
high voltage battery work, cell replacement, pack opening or anything else inside a
traction battery. That is specialist work with its own qualifications and it is not what
we do.

For the trade

This is one of the jobs available through our dealer file service. Send the
original read, tell us the vehicle and what you need, and the file comes back
checked. If a job carries mechanical conditions on the car, they are listed in the
coverage table below and they apply to your customer’s vehicle too.

HOW TO READ THIS

Each row is a control module we have a working solution for. The note tells you what typically also has to happen on the car, because where a part has to be unplugged that is mechanical work on the vehicle, not something a file alone can do.

We have more than one route to most of these jobs, so the requirements on your car are confirmed when we look at it rather than taken from this table. Treat the notes as what to expect, not as a fixed instruction.

Marked New means the solution is recent, so we check those individually before quoting.
