1449 recall and BC 74 Battery deviation
Thanks guys for past help on my 2001 CVT, 173K.
I bought this car real cheap knowing it had a bad CVT. It is amazing how good everything else is. A woman said I like your new car.
I replaced the cvt and all trany issues are cured. I had the battery out last month for code 1449 (79) Battery poor capacity , very limited assist. I replaced 10 sticks from Flamboyant. The newer 10 had a capacity > 5AH each and the old ones looked like they had been replaced at one time also exceeding 5AH each. I cycled them to get max capacity.
Now I get assist for seeming as long as I ever need it. The problem is when I do serious regen, I get the 1449 (74) battery deviation agin. Two couple sticks rest at 16,50 V after a drive of 5 miles or less. The others rest at 16.17 to 16.30 V
These readings are taken on the BCM rear plug, reads two sticks.
My question is what deviation is allowed before recall 1449 (79) battery deviation?
Thanks for any help. I am going to run wires from that BCM plug,so I can moniter what they are doing during regen.
