Figure 11-23 CDM
The CDM can be used to retrieve from the onboard computer four important items of information that can be
useful in troubleshooting the IQ System vehicle. To access one of these items, the item's corresponding Func-
tion Code must be selected on the CDM. This is done by pressing the Function Button until the desired func-
tion code is displayed in the window. See Figure 11-23, Page 11-41 for CDM features. Releasing the button
when the desired code is displayed will display the data. Function codes and corresponding data are as fol-
lows:
• F1 – Battery voltage:
This displays the battery pack's current state of charge. A reading of less than 48 volts indicates that
the batteries need to be charged. If a reading of less than 48 volts is obtained immediately after a
charge cycle, there may be a problem in the charge circuit.
• F2 – Energy units removed since last charge cycle:
If the display reads over 75 (the vehicle battery warning light should be illuminated), the vehicle batter-
ies need to be recharged before being used again. This data can be used to make sure all vehicles in a
fleet receive equal usage on a short-term basis.
• F3 – Total accumulated energy units removed since initial vehicle start-up:
This information is most useful in making sure that all vehicles in a fleet receive equal usage over long
periods of time.
• F4 – Last charge termination type (1 = incomplete, 2 = DVDT, 4 = normal, 8 = max. timer):
A 1, 2, 4, or 8 will be displayed.
1 – Indicates the last charge cycle was incomplete and the batteries were not fully charged. Batteries
should be charged again at the earliest opportunity.
