Charging after Service up-date

[Mike]

I wonder if the unrealistic GOM means that the update failed somewhere and needs to be done again?

That’s what I think and will ask for them to be done again at the first service as the additional function to turn off the auto high beam is in the options but fails to work too...

Definitely. It does sound like one or more of the 4 updates failed that makes up the 2nd Generation Comfort System update.

Hi All,
I only have the granny charge which is fine for me at the moment, I have only charged once at a CCS station.
On the granny charge the max range I have seen is 146 with a full battery indicator. On the CCS I disconnected at 91% which indicated 160 odd miles but that very quickly dropped by over 30 miles. My journey back saw me get down to the wire, only 3% left. What I'm interested in is what are the BMS and HV fuse updates for? I'd not heard of them till now. It has definitely had the comfort 2 update.
Thanks

Hi,

he BMS update was a complete rewrite of the type 2 code to allow smart charging at home and make the car more compatible with all the smart chargers available.
it also allows you to charge the car without having to lock it.

The HV or High Voltage Fuse update hopefully will stop the car from randomly shutting down for no reason and giving drivers a HV fault. A few owners cars shut down while driving.

Ok great, thanks for coming back to me, is there anyway of telling if the BMS update has been done?

 

[Mike]

Unlock the car, plug it in. If it starts charging then it has the latest BMS update.

 

[Darkpond]

Ok, currently I unlock the car, plug it in but it will not start charging until the doors are locked. This is either granny or CCS.

With CCS I have never had to lock the car.
But now with the latest update. I don’t have to lock the car when I put it on charge at home or on a destination post.

Ok, thanks for that, I think I will have to contact the dealer and get this applied, for free I hope!!

 

[Mike]

Yes, its a free 'warranty update'.

The BMS update is not free. Well at least not for me. Was charging me half hour labor at £50!

 

[Mark Holmes]

Should be I’d question this or state that you’ll take it to another dealer, this is a warranty update.

Robbery.......Got the Comfort 2 and the BMS Update free of charge from my dealer.

They charge MG for their time as it’s warranty work.

Use another dealer in future!
