2014 SR has lurching power/torque delivery with throttle
« on: June 15, 2017, 06:29:26 PM »

Hey guys.
Been having and issue the last view days that has me perplexed.
In both Custom and Sport modes, the power delivery​ when twisting the throttle seems to cut in and out rapidly.
It causes a bucking feeling like your car when you have water in your gas or carburator issues. I've observed that, even when at a constant speed, say 50mph, the level indicators for both power and torque add and then subtract s bar every second or so, even with my hand maintaining the same throttle position.
This bucking issue does not seem to happen in Eco mode.

I'm hoping it's not a throttle issue. Could it be the BMS or Controller?
I'll try and download the logs asap (at work now).

Thanks!

I think a similar issue in the past turned out to be the brake level rattling enough to trigger the brake light and regen braking.

Check the calibration on the brake light switches. I think there's one for the foot brake and one on the hand brake. Make sure there's a little movement before the brake light activates.
