[Ovmsdev] SEVCON ALERT

Hi,

Renault isn’t to my experience very good at callbacks (they « forgot » to do my callback about the power line water infiltration issue). That said yeah, I confirm, there is a callback on badly responding pedals, « logically » stuck and/or « physically » slow to come back to initial position. I don’t know how the sevcon determinates the state but well, give Renault a call with the VIN number and they’ll tell you for sure or call you in for a checkup (as sometimes out of series VIN remain affected, I had a non responding pedal effect a couple of times in the past, barely noticeable as you rekick it in by reflex within a second, didn’t have the OVMS yet at the time)

JaXX./.

PS: The throttle issue can be accentuated by cold weather I’ve heard on french forums… which can be the case as… well… summer still hasn’t showed up everywhere yet ;-)
