On Vehicle Inspection

Kia EV6. Battery Management Unit (BMU)   

• When working on high voltage system, the work should be performed by technicians who have completed the relevant training. A lack of understanding of the high voltage system can lead to serious accidents due to electric shock or electric leakage.

• When working on high voltage system or related components, make sure that you are familiar and comply with the "Safety Precautions, Cautions and Warnings." If you do not comply with the instructions, serious accidents due to electric shock or leakage may occur.

• When working on high voltage system, make sure to check the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and high voltage shut-off procedures.

Kia EV6. Battery Management Unit (BMU)   

In the case of the Battery Management Unit (BMU) related fault, inspect the related problem components and replace the BMU when it is normal.

Kia EV6. Battery Management Unit (BMU)

1.Diagnose the Battery Management Unit (BMU) with the KDS. (Refer to DTC manual)

Kia EV6. Battery Management Unit (BMU)   

Refer to the KDS screen for operating conditions and details.

2.Remove the BMU service cover (A) after removing the bolts.

CAN communication line inspection

(1)Measure the G-CAN line voltage with IG ON.

Inspection area : Ground the D19 of CAN LOW and vehicle body, and ground the D20 of CAN HIGH and ground.Specification value (V) : 1.5 - 3.5

(2)Measure the G-CAN line terminating resisters.

Inspection area : D19 and D20Specification value (Ω) : 120

4.If the BMU is normal, inspect the components related with fault code (DTC).

Kia EV6. Battery Management Unit (BMU)   

Refer to the DTC guide manual for inspection ways according to the fault code.

1.Install in the reverse order of removal.

Kia EV6. Battery Management Unit (BMU)   

• Install the Battery Management Unit (BMU) to the specified torque.

• If the BMU is dropped, it may cause internal damage. (Do not reuse)

• Install the service cover after completely removing existing tape on the battery side to prevent the air leakage.

• The service cover should be replaced with a new one. (Do not reuse)

2.Perform the air tightness inspection with the KDS.(Refer to High Voltage Battery System - "Air Tightness Inspection")

3.Perform the SOC calibration with the KDS.(S/W management → Battery Management System (BMS) → SOC Calibration)

4.Perform the SOH reset with the KDS.(S/W management → Battery Management System (BMS) → SOH Reset)
