Aixam mega city service spanner reset
Posted: Fri Sep 09, 2016 9:10 am
Hi everybody,
I`m new here and in electric car business as well. I bought a faulty Aixam mega city with charging fault few month ago. I managed to fix the charging fault which was quite easy (thanks for google search). I just had to replace 2 cooler fans in the onboard charger. But it wasn`t the only fault with the car as you can expect from ebay purchase. :/ 2nd problem was a 12V power problem. Dash remained dark all the time. I found a faulty relay which is actually energizing the DC/DC converter for 12V power line. Finally I could see everything on the dash. Unfortunately the battery bank was sitting uncharged for a while at the seller of the car. I could charge them up but as I expected I couldn`t drive the car too far. Let`s say I could reach the bottom of our street and back. So the battery last in 400 meters. I purchased “Battery Extra” recondition device (I thought it worth to try) but it seems it doesn`t work unfortunately. After the 3rd charging period the condition of batteries just getting worse. They already last within 50 meters. Accidentally I found one more battery under the dashboard! I didn`t know there is an “emergency” battery fitted in possible for safety reason. 3rd problem this battery had a short cell and it was swollen and hot. Hope came back, but this time I already discovered the service spanner coming up on the dash. Also when I`m switching the gear stick to N or R it doesn`t show on the dash. It`s just showing D all the time. My thought is this shympton is linked to service spanner on the dash. Maybe I`m wrong maybe it`s all just because the faulty battery bank but I can`t find any useful service document for this little car and I don`t want to spend 1000 quid for a new battery bank if it won`t work after.Sorry it was a bit long.
Does anybody know how to reset the service spanner in the Aixam Mega City? (Normal aixam method won't work)
