Engine controller software update in Warsaw

Problem: The owner of a second-generation Nissan Leaf contacted STS.Electro with a complaint: the car only charges from a fast charging station, but does not accept a slow charging gun (Type 1).

Problem: We were contacted by the owner of a Peugeot e-208 electric car. After charging to almost 100%, the electric car stopped accepting a charge, and the system displayed a second-level overvoltage error.

Problem: The owner of a Karma Revero hybrid was unable to drive his car for over eight months: the engine would only start for a few minutes at a time, and the battery would not charge.

Problem: The Dacia Spring car would not start or charge due to a reversed battery polarity and a faulty DC/DC+charger unit.

Problem: A well-known logistics service provider brought in three electric vans for repair after their high-voltage batteries failed. In one of them, the battery was dismantled.

Problem: The high-voltage battery is discharged and cannot be charged. The car does not accept a charge because the electronics do not recognize the connection of the charging gun.

Problem: A sharp drop in driving range and the vehicle switching to emergency mode with reduced power (“turtle mode”).

Problem: The problem with the car was the incompatibility of the Chinese GB/T standard charging system with European charging stations. This created difficulties for the owner of the Audi Q4 e-tron, since the car, produced for the Chinese market, could not charge at European stations with the required speed and reliability.

Problem: Failure of Toyota hybrid batteries is a common problem that our customers come to us with. The battery cells degrade, making it impossible for the car to operate normally.

Problem: We received an electric car with very discharged traction batteries. The problem is typical for the Fiat 500. During idle time, the batteries discharged below the permissible level, and the car's electric motor stopped starting.

Problem: The Hyundai Kona made a rather loud noise. The customer diagnosed the malfunction on his own - in his opinion, the gearbox was the cause of the extraneous sounds.

Problem: In a diesel-electric Peugeot 508 HYbrid4 Berline 2.0 HDi 163 FAP (DW10CTED4), the owner encountered a complete shutdown of the hybrid system – the engine would not start, and numerous fault warnings appeared on the instrument panel.

Problem: The hybrid Audi Q7 lost almost half of its electric range — instead of 40 kilometres on a single charge, it only managed 18.

Problem: In the case of a critical discharge of a low-voltage battery (12–48 V), the electronics prevent charging because it is dangerous with Li-Ion batteries. The manufacturer recommends discarding fully functional batteries and replacing them with new ones. This is expensive.

Problem: Failure of Toyota hybrid batteries is a common problem that our customers come to us with. The battery cells degrade, making it impossible for the car to operate normally.

Problem: Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.0 SDV6 Hybrid AT AWD - the hybrid system did not work, the VBB was in emergency mode. The car was running only on diesel fuel, the low-voltage battery was not charging.

Problem: None of the car's systems were working at all, it wasn't even possible to raise it on a lift because the air suspension didn't activate either. I had to install the Porsche near the repair box on "goat" stands.

Problem: The owner of a Hyundai i30 encountered a knocking noise in the steering caused by wear on the power steering drive pinion inside the steering column.

Problem: In Opel Astra H vehicles, the electric power steering pump often fails. The cause can be either corrosion or damage to the unit due to careless driving.

Problem: IThe specific placement of the steering rack in many Audi models allows moisture to penetrate the control unit of the electric power steering, causing corrosion of components and failure of the unit.
