jlr DC/DC hacking

Post by ganch »

Unit is by LG Innotek.
J9D314B227AD is this example. Outward appearance seems identical for I-Pace and LR/RR Hybrids..

Internal Photo..

Anyone started to do anything with this? Input please.

I will start with figuring out the 8-pin connector.

I will try to make some sense of this..
How exactly was this powered? only on the 12V side? If HVDC was used, what voltage?

probable counters and checksums..

ID 194 counter D3 low-nibble increments (0..15)
ID 194 checksum D7 == CRC-8(poly 0x31, init 0x00, xorout 0xFF) over [D1,D2,D4,D5,D6,D8]
ID 54 counter D1 high-nibble increments (0..15)

Finally some logs of PMZ can from a LHD ipace. Not tested on the dcdc yet but seems to have the correct ids and wakes an ipace gear selector that is also on PMZ can.

Seems the DCDC wants to see 0x030 , 0x094 , 0x17A,0x583. All static except 0x17A. It does not need any +12v feeds from the multiway plug. Wakes on can. Does not care about hvil. Does not care about much really.
