Range finally back up

It gives SOH1 and SOH2. Some think SOH1 is the traction battery, and SOH2 the 12V battery. Mine shows, respectively, 110% (which would be nice, but is unlikely after 7 years service) and 60%, which is quite believable for a 4.5 year old lead/acid battery.

interesting - mine has 110% for both, and the 12v battery hasn't been changed before.... so i'm even less inclined to believe it.

though yesterday it was fully charged, in heated garage (12C), got 126km range, and then went out into -18C and good while driving, just dips when you're stopped. It's like Bjorn says: Always Be Charging (or Cheating LOL)

I'm a new Car Scanner user but I cannot find "SOH1", "SOH2", "SOH", or "Sate of Health" anywhere. I do see tons of other battery data, just not what I'm after which is the current SOH.

I’ve connected using the profile for “Kia Soul EV 30 kWh (OBDII + EV)” which seemed most applicable to my 2018. I'm on iOS and am using the latest Car Scanner App version 1.114.11

Maybe SOH simply isn't available for the 30 kwh battery pack? Anybody know if it's available or not and where to find it in the app if it is available? Any other ideas?

The screen shot below shows SoH1 and SoH2 on the Dashboard. This is the position of these two parameters when the app is first installed. Looks like you have changed the layout. You can restore the Dashboard if you saved it before doing any changes by going to Settings -> Dashboard -> Restore dashboard at the bottom of the page. If you have made changes you will have to do it manally. Read the information on the Dashboard. Notice on my screenshot there are no random values. This happened after I updated my app to pro. I have emailed [email protected] to report this issue. I also asked them what is SoH1 and SoH2 are actually measuring. We know one is quite likely the HV Battery. What is the other?

I should have metioned I am using an Android device. So the default layout if you are using an Apple device could be different.

It appears that Car Scanner displays are different for Android and Apple devices from what I see on the Apple Store.

I’m on iOS with 2018 Soul EV.

I went into the Car Scanner App again and:
— did a re-set to default for the Dashboard
— removed vehicle profiles previously added (I had tried a few profiles to see if I could get SOH to show up)
— closed App and restarted my phone

Then went into the App again and:
— added my vehicle
— connected to my dongle
— selected the profile for “Kia Soul EV 30 kWh (OBDII + EV)”
— opened the Dashboard

Still no SOH. :-(

I skimmed through the thread on the Torque App and it looks like it too has issues with SOH on the 30 kWh battery packs too. It’ll show a SOH value but the consensus seems to be that it’s unreliable. For Car Scanner, it looks like it simply doesn’t show any SOH value. Maybe??

Since I don't have an Apple device I really can't be of much help.

But on my Android device(s) I found [BMS] State of Health #1 and [BMS] State of Health #2 at the very bottom of All Sensors. This list is on the main screen. My car shows 95.6% and 96.1% respectively. You have to be in the Demo mode! I am not convinced there are two distinct SOH parameters.

If you have Soul EV Spy Lite it has one SOH.

Are we having fun yet?

I changed my car to a 2018 model. You are correct there isn't a any State of Health as in my 2016. There are 8 separate HVESPA through HVESPH State of Heath sensors. There is also a HVESS Sate of Health. I believe that is what you have been looking for. These are all found in the All Senors list.

Do a Google search HVESS State of Health.

HVESS stands for High Voltage Energy Storage System. It is not a measure of SOH. It represents the total energy within the battery. The numbers shown in your graphic above make no sense to me at all.
How likely is an SOH of 23% ?

Thanks for clarifying this. Do you know what the “P” in the acronyms in the first 8 squares stand for..? I’m guessing the A/B/C/D/E/F/G are different segments? Any additional insights would be greatly appreciated!

These are just random values.

I thought Car Scanner app wasn’t available for iOS. I couldn’t find it to download. How’d you find it?

I found it on the Apple Store. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/car-scanner-elm-obd2/id1259933623.
