    Battery Recall for cars with E400 high-voltage battery.

    I own a 2015. Did recall (BMS & Harness), 3 weeks later, triggered abnormal cell condition, error code PA1AD1. 4 weeks later Kia installed battery pack replacement due to BMS error. Everything was fine with new battery, but recently the BMS again triggered abnormal cell condition warnings. Car...

    Battery Recall for cars with E400 high-voltage battery.

    My experience with Kia's Battery Recall service has been nothing short of abysmal. Despite returning twice after triggering the abnormal battery cell condition, they've consistently delayed and denied the presence of any issue. I'm now inclined to believe this could be attributed to either a...

    Battery Recall for cars with E400 high-voltage battery.

    Once BMS warning mode is triggered it remains on constantly, it never turned off while driving to Kia Service.

    Battery Recall for cars with E400 high-voltage battery.

    Spoke to Kia Service today. After sitting for several days in their shop, they finally started my car to investigate post-recall BMS EV warnings. Unfortunately, they did not get the EV warning or turtle mode. The day before I brought it in, it was consistently going into the abnormal battery...

    Battery Recall for cars with E400 high-voltage battery.

    What is the mileage warranty given by Kia on EV battery replacement? Secondly is the mileage warranty limit from original driven miles or mileage after the battery was replaced. I'm asking because this is my current situation. My Soul has 112,480 miles, 10/19 battery replaced under warranty at...

    Battery Recall for cars with E400 high-voltage battery.

    Here is an essential update regarding my previous post: It has now been two weeks since I received the BMS software update due to the battery recall.

    Battery Recall for cars with E400 high-voltage battery.

    My vehicle underwent the BMS software update as part of a recall in mid-September. Today, I noticed that after the first post-BMS update, the DC-Fast charging is limited to 80% instead of the previous 94%. Is this an expected behavior?

    Battery Recall for cars with E400 high-voltage battery.

    Today I picked up my Kia Soul Ev from the dealer. Took over one week to complete the Battery Recall Service. This was because they had to order the battery harness, which took 5 days, while the work took less than 2 days. The team informed me that they replaced the Battery Management System...

    Alarm goes off after DC fast charging.

    This problem when it occurs always happens immediately after disconnecting the charger. Regardless of @home charging or public charging. It occurs on either DC Fast charging, Level 2 J1772, or Level 1. To troubleshoot I have replaced the Key Fob battery and 12 Volt battery but the problem...

    Alarm goes off after DC fast charging.

    Following a DC fast charging session, when disconnecting the Chademo plug and initiating the start in my 2015 Kia Soul EV, I occasionally encounter the following problem: The car's horn alarm activates simultaneously with rapid dashboard light blinking. The vehicle remains unresponsive to...

    Reset BMS by removing BMS fuse

    I performed my test last night. I located the 10 amp fuse label BMS in the engine compartment fuse box. Kia provides a plastic fuse puller which makes it super easy to remove. I took the fuse out and waited 45 minutes. I then reinserted the fuse. Restarted the car and noticed no change. My GOM...

    Reset BMS by removing BMS fuse

    My 2015 Kia Soul EV battery pack with 52% SOH was replaced recently under Kia Warranty. The previous range was 56 miles. Now I'm able to travel over 100 miles. However, my GOM still reports 54 miles at 100% charge. The estimated range hasn't changed in 4 weeks since the replacement. I have...

    Soul Spy?

    I tried the latest Soul SPY on my 2015 Kia Soul Ev ( 58,500miles / 94,146Km ). My SOH reports 51.5% on 8/4/19 . This revised calculated value makes sense. Based on my recent charging session on 7/9/19, I was estimating around 53% capacity. I charged from 7% to 100% on Level 2 charger. It...
