FC CONTROL SYSTEM VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY


  1. VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (FC CONTROL SYSTEM)

    Note


    • If the electric motor power decreased or hydrogen filling was canceled due to factors other than vehicle malfunctions (DTCs were set), such factors are recorded in the vehicle control history.

    • The vehicle control history stores freeze frame data for decreases of the motor power or cancelation of filling and the cumulative number of such events, in accordance with each of the following items.

    Tech Tips


    • By referring to the freeze frame data recorded in the vehicle control history, it helps identify factors that caused the motor power to decrease or canceled filling.

    • Customer vehicle operations or vehicle drive conditions may cause the vehicle control history to be activated. Even if stored information was found in the vehicle control history, the vehicle is not in need of repairs unless the customer experienced power decreases or filling cancelation. Clear the vehicle control history and return the vehicle to the customer.

    01 X3120 FC Stack Power Generation Canceled by Poor Drainage
    • Poor drainage from FC stack due to leaving the vehicle in READY ON continuously in a location where the vehicle was tilted significantly to the side*4

    Explain the customer that leaving the vehicle in READY ON in a location with a large sideways tilt caused the system to detect "poor drainage", resulting in FC system shutdown.

    After moving the vehicle to a flat location, stopping the vehicle in a horizontal orientation and waiting for approximately 5 minutes or more, the FC system can be started.

    After starting the FC system, press the FC water release switch to perform forced drainage.


    • *1: FC system stopped (Mode enters EV drive mode, and travel distance will be limited)

    • *2: In order to identify the vehicle situation, it is helpful to save the data of "FC Output Limit" of the vehicle control history, and interview the customer about the time and distance travelled when they used the vehicle the last time, as well as the gradient of a parking area.

      As for parking conditions, an indoor, not very cold and level area is recommended. (It is preferable that the vehicle is parked in a space where an ambient temperature remains above 10 °C (50 °F) overnight)

    • *3: "Low Temperature Mode" is 0, which means no components have frozen, and if it is not 0, which indicates that there are frozen components.

    • *4: When the vehicle is tilted to the side by approximately 15° or more, poor drainage may result.
