Charger errors in logfile
« on: November 22, 2016, 07:25:38 PM »

This afternoon I tried starting up the bike, finding the warning led blinking irradically and the bike not arming. After about 10 seconds, all digits on the cockpit started blinking. I keyed the bike off, waited a few moments, and then after keying on the bike armed in 4 seconds giving no errors.
So at work I dumped the logfiles, and threw them through the logfile parser to find the following part:
Code: [Select]
09244     11/21/2016 17:26:43   b'Entering Charge Standby Mode'
 09245     11/21/2016 17:26:43   b'INFO:  Disabling Calex 720W Charger 0'
 09246     11/21/2016 17:26:43   b'INFO:  Disabling Calex 1200W Charger 1'
 09247     11/21/2016 17:26:43   b'INFO:  Disabling External Chg 0 Charger 2'
 09248     11/21/2016 17:26:43   b'INFO:  Disabling External Chg 1 Charger 3'
 09249     11/21/2016 17:26:43   b'INFO:  Disabling JIB Chargetank Charger 5'
 09250     11/21/2016 17:26:48   Module 00 Opening Contactor  vmod: 116.598V, batt curr:   0A
 09251     11/21/2016 17:26:48   Module 01 Opening Contactor  vmod:   0.000V, batt curr:   0A
 09252     11/21/2016 17:26:48   Sevcon Turned Off
 09253     11/21/2016 17:26:49   b'DEBUG: Module 00 Contactor is now Open'
 09254     11/21/2016 17:44:21   Unknown Charger 5 Disconnected
 09255     11/21/2016 17:44:22   Unknown Charger 5 Connected   
 09256     11/21/2016 17:44:24   Unknown Charger 5 Disconnected
 09257     11/21/2016 17:44:25   Unknown Charger 5 Connected   
 09258     11/21/2016 17:48:31   Unknown Charger 5 Disconnected
 09259     11/21/2016 17:48:32   Unknown Charger 5 Connected   
 09260     11/21/2016 18:08:01   Low Chassis Isolation      100 KOhms to cell 3

This goes on for about 50 lines, and was last night right after the bike stopped charging.
The weird part for me is the fact that 'Charger 5', which looks like the charge tank, keeps connecting for 6 seconds, then disconnects for a second, then connects again etc.

The log of me keying the bike on however shows:
Code: [Select]
09350     11/22/2016 03:48:32   Sevcon Turned On
 09351     11/22/2016 03:48:32   Sevcon CAN Link Down
 09352     11/22/2016 03:48:33   Sevcon CAN Link Up
 09353     11/22/2016 03:48:33   b'Precharge Lost. CapV: 85V'
 09354     11/22/2016 03:48:33   Module 00 Opening Contactor  vmod: 116.047V, batt curr:   2A
 09355     11/22/2016 03:48:33   Module 01 Opening Contactor  vmod:   0.000V, batt curr:   0A
 09356     11/22/2016 03:48:33   Sevcon Turned Off
 09357     11/22/2016 03:48:35   Sevcon Turned On'

And this repeats about 12 times, before I key off the bike and try again, after which no more errors occur...
It looks like the Sevcon was in sort of a loop, becoming available but then turning itself off again, and on, and off...

Is this something I should worry about?

[edit] It's a DSR 2016 with dealer-fitted charge tank

Email them to Zero support through the app at least so they have a record.
