Take it to a garage and get it checked and fixed ASAP! You do not want the power eletronics to fail due to overheating, so don't drive the car when it reports cooling errors! Fixing the cooling is very cheap, in comparison to replacing the motor controller and on-board charger. DTC Codes: You...

Thank you for creating the new topic "Soul EV Spy Questions and Answers": https://www.mykiasoulev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1193! I hope we will see many basic questions and answers, to create the basis for a "Users Guide" for Soul EV Spy Lite. Hopefully one which can be read and understood by...

I got the question "Any plans to add support for OBD2 via Wi-Fi?" No. I plan to add features improving the app usability for my wife and myself. We have an OBD2 dongle that works reliably with the app, so I have no plans for supporting other types of dongles.

I got the question: "Does the app work with all OBD-II dongles, or is a specific dongle needed?" The app has been developed and tested using Konnwei KW902. I have tried multiple other dongles, and found that some of them sometimes works correctly reading some of the data some of the time; most...

Thanks! I don't know how it is arranged physically, there are just 4 temperature values from the BMS. I would expect differences due to calibration and measurement accuracy, as well as physical temperature difference, but then I am used to see data from the air-cooled Kia Soul EV 2015. I...

I am the current developer of the Soul EV Spy android app. The app is based on the work of Pierre-Etienne Messier and Tyrel Haveman from 2015-2017. Without their code, as well as the many contributions and encouragements on this forum, the app would not be where it is today. So thanks for all...

"The reading" of which value: Max det or SOH? And how close, in time and km? Max det is read from the car, so it is the same value from Torque and Soul EV Spy. SOH is calculated in Torque and SoulEVSpy, and at least 4 different formula versions have been released in the past 6 months... So...

Again, Elmils formula correlates closest to the official SOH! Elmils formula puts the SOH at 48,3%, and given that the readings are taken some time apart, a difference is to be expected. Of the 5 cars where I have a max det reading taken reasonably close to the time of the official SOH...

Glad to here the battery replacement went smoothly. If you share the last Max det and min det from before the battery replacement, and the first Max det and min det after, those could be useful along with the official SOH of the replaced battery.

You startup sequence should work. Aux battery voltage is read by the dongle, not reported by the car. Which app version are you running (it is at the bottom of the Settings, and at the head of the soulspy.log-files)? Which car model and year do you have? Did you select your car model in...

I have looked in the logfiles you emailed. The disconnects are due to CAN ERRORs. This happens when there is a problem in the communication between the car and the dongle. When there are communication issues, some data are not communicated to the app. One thing I noticed in the logs is that the...

I have released BETA 0.1.1-4527 on google play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evranger.soulevspy This should fix the issue of the app freezing up: Not communicating with the dongle, and not responding to UI. As far as I can tell, the problem was first introduced with...

Just a warning: I have a dongle that looks like this, but is version ELM327 v2.1, and it doesn't work with the app at all!

No problem. I will find a way to reproduce the issue reliably, and release a fix ASAP. It just disappears (and then Google receive a crash report, probably at the next start of the app). The "bluetooth connect" will be off when the app is restarted, and I believe it will restart on the DC...

No, you didn't. The release with this fix still isn't available from Google Play Store. Apparently I forgot to complete the release last night (I was kind of tired after all that driving). Since it isn't out anyway, I will take a second look to ensure I don't mess up something else with the fix...

The difference may well be due to the max det not being the same at the time of the official SOH reading, according to ZuinigeRijder: "So I cannot compare exactly with the SOH readout (I did not measure with Torque just before I left the car at the garage)." And Elmils formula is still closer...

I suppose there is a difference between BMS version in different model years then. The car I received log-files for is a 2016 model, according to it's VIN. I don't know what model year JeroenE's car is.

I have received files from another beta-tester having a Soul EV 2016, and sure enough, his car is also returning 206 for battery heater 1 and 2, so those values are not due to garbled communication, at least not in his car (he emailed me the log files, so I can see there are no communication...

I have been thinking along the same lines. Your formula is the best correlation I have seen yet, with the limited dataset I have: It gets very close to the value found for a car with very high max deterioration reported, where we have the same max det documented before and after the Kia test...

I experienced this myself today! Took the car for a 400 km drive, and when I stopped, the app was completely unresponsive. Neither the soulspy.log file or the SoulData file had been updated for 80 minutes. I attached the debugger to the phone and found a deadlock error in the lock-handling. I...
