    2014 Rav4 EV Dead - Dealer says cost will be $13k - vehicle will be total loss

    The fuses were the fix. I paid Vlad $200, I bought the fuses for $30, I bought the microtik router and ethernet cables for about $70. Refill of coolant was about $60. I also took it to the dealer and wasted $200 having them do diagnostics, which ended up being really just them telling me to...

    2014 Rav4 EV Dead - Dealer says cost will be $13k - vehicle will be total loss

    Does anyone know if there is a standard procedure for the SLLC pink coolant or do I just fill it up, run the heater and keep filling it until it stabilizes?

    2014 Rav4 EV Dead - Dealer says cost will be $13k - vehicle will be total loss

    Final Update! The car is fixed. It was a several-day operation to get the components in the trunk disassembled enough to remove the charger and replace the fuse which was the problem. I was able to put everything back together and then contact alflash to help me run diagnostics and purge the...

    2014 Rav4 EV Dead - Dealer says cost will be $13k - vehicle will be total loss

    During the removal of the charger I lost alot of the blue coolant/liquid when hoses were disconnected. Does anyone know what type of coolant that is so I can replace it all once I am done putting it all back together? Also how much do I need?

    I actually got past those two pics and figured it out before anyone was able to post. But now I'm faced with trying to understand what I am supposed to do in this picture? https://photos.app.goo.gl/wc9P6U6PqAKNmXy8A I assume there is something to disconnect in this box, but I can't tell what...

    2014 Rav4 EV Dead - Dealer says cost will be $13k - vehicle will be total loss

    Hello, I have a 2014 RAV4 EV that I bought in 2016 from a CarMax in 2016. I have absolutely loved this car which caused me to keep it longer than I had planned and it seems that I have reached for the sun and got burned on this one. A few weeks ago, realized that the car was not charging...

    Replaced Battery, Check EV System Won't go away

    Hello, the 12V battery went out on my RAV4 EV 2014 (3 years!!!) and I replaced it. The car works fine but there is an annoying "Check EV System" warning on the dash. Its been on for weeks. Initially the old battery wasn't fully dead so it caused the car's ev system to get all glitchy but as...

    Range Decreases soon after Tony Test

    Thanks guys, but the annoying part is disconnecting the battery (and waiting the night). Is there a way to reset it without having to get out the old tool chest to loosen the battery nut? What i'm looking for is convenience to reset the GOM without going through too unusual shenanigans

    Range Decreases soon after Tony Test

    so using that chart is about as annoying as disconnecting the battery for a night. Let me rephrase as I'm not trying to figure out what my range really is. I understand that the miles displayed isn't accurate. Is there an easy way to make the car forget my past driving habits and start from...

    Range Decreases soon after Tony Test

    Maybe I'm referring to the Tony test incorrectly? Its basically where I disconnect the batter for a night, then reconnect it and do a certain sequence of button/brake presses, etc... and then the range displayed is back to a high number that you expect to get with this vehicle (somewhere...

    Range Decreases soon after Tony Test

    I'm in washington DC. I did the tony test on 2/23. The batter stayed high for about a week. Then suddenly dropped to like 90 after a charge. stayed around there for a week or two, dropped to the 80 range... another week or two, now in the 70 range. We had 3 days last week where temperatures...

    Range Decreases soon after Tony Test

    Hello, I've seen that my battery range only shows about 73 miles these days after a full charge. I looked at this forum and saw the "Tony Test". I performed this test and this caused my range to go back up to 147 miles. It lasted maybe about 1 week, and then the range drops rapidly each...

    2014 RAV4 EV & Siemens Versicharge not working

    Siemens seems to think its the car not telling the charger to 'go', but again the 110V goes right away so.... Below is what I got from Siemens Hello Jake, Thank you for speaking with me earlier. First thing I wanted to go over with you, is that it is actually the vehicle which determines when...

    2014 RAV4 EV & Siemens Versicharge not working

    The DC reading is 12.68V I called Siemens, they said to do a "hard reset" which means turn off the breaker for about 1.5 hours. It worked, but the problem is intermittent. I would be surprised if it didn't come back.

    2014 RAV4 EV & Siemens Versicharge not working

    Aaaand you said DC, so looks like I need to turn in both my man card & reading card. Undaunted, I shall measure this again when I return home from work tonight and report back.
