Some problems come in waves. I suppose it’s the result of posts on internet forums dedicated to the Fiat 500e. A good example is several problems with starting the car within one week after the proxy alignment procedure.
It seems to be a simple procedure to download together such car modules as IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster), RADIO, VTM (Vechicle Tracking Module).
Unfortunately, it turns out that if carried out incorrectly, it can immobilize the car. So if proxy alignment fail, don’t lose your head, don’t mess around blindly. Create a new support ticket on our Electric Cars Service and arrange a remote solution to this problem.
Proxy Alignment fail
Proxy Alignment fail reasons
Proxy Alignment fail reasons can be very different. In my opinion, the most common is the low-quality OBD interface with bluetooth communication. Of the Fiat 500e programs available on the market, unfortunately one causes this problem much more often. Primarily because, it is recommended to perform this operation via USB or WiFi interface.
Our electric car service fixes this problem remotely. More details after creating a ticket at help.fiatservice.eu
Can the coronavirus kill a Fiat 500e? The answer is No and Yes same time. CoVID-19 freezes life of many people all around the world. Lot of them was even not able to get the place where they left cars. Unfortunately Fiat 500e don’t like to be not used. Combined with a low quality 12 volt battery, that needs to be recharged from a high voltage battery can cause the battery computer to hang and over discharge the HV batteries below safe minimal voltage.
47% Battery, “not ready”, not charging Fiat 500e? It does not have to result in the Fiat 500e death.
Our last patient became a victim of CoVID-19. However, thanks to the very quick response of its owner, the problem was solved with microscopic loss of the state of health to the HV battery.

Test drive and engine power
Below is a test drive video showing the engine power indicator. The six-year-old Fiat 500e after overdischarged HV battery rised by us shows the maximum factory performance of the engine, and thus the battery! I am really very happy with this result. It proves that the method and equipment I use do not degrade the battery duringthe process. This is not achievable with standard lithium battery chargers that is used by other services!
Of course I was able to get this result thanks to the fact that the battery was in very good condition before the problem begin. It is impossible to improve the state of lithium-ion cells, but it can definitely be worsened by incorrectly carrying out this operation.
As I have mentioned many times, the most important thing about this problem is time. The sooner the car gets to our Electric Vehicle Battery Service or we to the car, the lower the risk of damage to the Fiat’s 500e HV battery.
Just today, more than a year after the repair, I got an e-mail. Let me publish the first words of the blue 500e owner, to which i don’t need to add anything 🙂

Can the coronavirus kill a Fiat 500e?
Right!, if the car is left in this condition for a long period of time
No, if the car goes quickly to the appropriate Fiat 500e service center or Electric Vehicles Service Center
Definitely Not, if you trust me to fix this problem.
Fiat 500e, cabin heater & AC problem after problem. I’m not going to go into detail about what happened before the car came to me. I wish to mention only, that the car had a new cabin heater and Fiat 500e HV fuses in the PDC were replaced. Both heating and air conditioning were not working in the car. In addition, computer diagnostics showed errors in the CAN network and a short to ground in the air conditioning compressor.

Fiat 500e battery replacement starts with getting the 500e replacement battery. Unfortunately it is not easy for several reasons:
The new HV battery was more expensive than the new Fiat 500e 2013-2019 in California.
Fiat does not sell spare parts for HV batteries. Therefore all spare parts you have to find from the aftermarket.
Most Fiats 500e are not badly shattered after the accidents. Making almost every one repairable without major problems. This makes the used Fiat 500e HV batteries extremely hard to find or get.
Several times I had an offer to buy a used Fiat 500e battery with the body (rest of the car) for free 😉
therefore better always try to repair the Fiat 500e HV battery then think about Fiat 500e battery replacement. Sometimes it may take several months to find a Fiat 500e HV battery for sale. the only thing I can give you a hint is to browse through the ads from auction sites.
Fiat 500e battery life
Fiat 500e battery life calculation by a producer, according to Fiat 500e maintenance schedule is 15 years or 240 000 km. In line with these assumptions, the first Fiats 500e from 2013, exceeded the halfway point of life. I drove many examples from 2013 and some of them show a slight degradation of the battery. Some examples of this model have exceeded my wildest expectations and after 7 years of use they show SOH of the battery between 99 and 100%.
Fiat 500e suspension modifications are a more and more frequent topic that I encounter on internet forums and customer questions. A recurring idea is to increase the diameter of the rims and lower the suspension.
Why do I consider this a bad idea?
First of all, because the Fiat 500e drives really, really well even on track conditions. The opinions of RallyCross riders are surprisingly good. As evidenced by their results even with other modified cars. so why change something that works well? The main reason turns out to be the visual aspects. Too much distance between the wheels and the wheel arches.
maybe the distance between the wheels and the wheel arches is too great. But the distance between the high voltage battery and the ground is not so long.
I see a damaged battery pack very often. From damaged high-voltage sockets to dents and holes in the battery case itself. Replacing the battery socket is a job for most of the day. Requires the removal of the entire high voltage battery and thus the dismantling of the entire rear suspension. It is not easy to get spare parts because FCA treats the HV batterie as one unit and does not sell spare parts for it.
Fiat 500e suspension modificationsFiat 500e suspension modifications
A damaged battery case is a much bigger problem. If the pack becomes unsealed, it can seriously damage the battery. I have already encountered case of damage to the battery’s computer module – BPCM, after leaving a curb that is too high. The impact was so strong that the screw holding the BPCM made a hole in the top cover of the battery.
Fiat 500e suspension modificationsFiat 500e suspension modificationsFiat 500e suspension modifications
Even more serious problems can cause seemingly minor damages – holes, through which water can seeps into the battery casing. Such a problem, not noticed in time, can cause very extensive damage. Transferring the entire battery to a new housing is a task for the whole day for 2 people

Therefore, the most recommended by me, Fiat 500e suspension modifications is the purchase of new, very good tires 😉
Meanwhile on the IPC- Instrument Panel Cluster. Big red turtle icon reports Limited Power Mode. Of course, this requires removal of the HV battery from the car and a detailed inspection of the third-party installation.
Service Charging System on Fiat 500e RallyCross
It is a lot of hard work to remove the HV battery out of the Fiat 500e. Fortunately, our prior experience does the job neatly. On the first try, the fault is located and no further issues found. Service Charging System solved.

We have another HV battery to be patched tomorrow, so I don’t have time to write more. Preparations are underway. To be continued …

It turned out that our intervention was needed immediately to diagnose issues on the first two cars. Received three weeks ago, the HV batteries turned out to be completely dead. They had newly regenerated HV Battery packages from a competing company. The first had the symptom of damage as, of course, not switching on. Then showing 0% to 47% State of Charge on IPC indicating an overly discharged state.
Lifting and opening the HV housing revealed the problem. It turned out that the HV battery had broken cells. They were self-discharging. This condition should never leave a company that has undertaken the remanufacturing.
Despite our efforts to build one battery out of two, it was not possible to collect enough modules in good condition. Unfortunately, this reconstruction will require additional cells from a third HV packet, as well as re-checking all battery capacity measurements. Again, this is unacceptable with newly reconditioned units.
HV Battery rebuild
The second car had a problem with lost body settings. After successful re-programming, it turned out that the programmed ignition key had also been lost. These related problems were both quickly resolved.

Fiat 500e Fiat 500e Loss Of Insulation. What is it and what is it for. In every electric car, the High Voltage (HV) installation is fully insulated from the 12V installation. The frame of an electric car is not a mass or a downside High Voltage (HV) installations, as it almost always happens with internal combustion cars and 12V installations.
Fiat 500e Loss of Insulation (LOI) occurs when there is a violation of the separation between the high voltage system and the low voltage system of the vehicle. In the Fiat 500e, the high-voltage system is isolated from the 12-V system. The resistance between these points is calculated based on the energy potential of high-voltage systems (battery pack voltage). The higher the voltage potential, the higher the resistance (insulation) value.
Fiat 500e Loss of Insulation can be associated with one of the following high voltage installation modules:
Electric heater (AEH) Power Inverter Module (PIM) On-board charging module (OBCM) Electric drive motor (EDM) High voltage battery system (HVBS) Electric air compressor (EAC) Battery coolant heater (BCH) High voltage energy distribution center (high voltage PDC)
Fiat 500e body insulation test, Insane equal to ZERO Ohms.
The described patient came to our Electric Cars Service on a tow truck from outside the province. Unfortunately, before falling into the hands of some amateur, because of the cost of tow trucks and the desire to save. Fortunately, it didn’t end in a serious accident. Fiat 500e diagnostic tools are not only to delete DTC’s and Fiat 500e Loss Of Insulation Fault is the best example. Bpcm HV battery insulation test results:
Fiat 500e body insulation test equal to ZERO Ohms.Fiat 500e Loss Of Insulation
2013 Fiat 500e body insulation test equal to ZERO Ohms means a high voltage short circuit with the car frame. Measurements made with the voltmeter confirm the diagnosis from the computer. Over 200V between the ‘+’ HV installation and the car frame. Fortunately, the car’s safety systems worked, causing it to become immobilized. Otherwise, if it were enough to clear the errors and start the car, driving it would be like groping in cables protruding from the wall or in a home fuse box.

Fiat 500e Loss Of Insulation. Bloody short circuit in high voltage installation
Diagnosing a short circuit in a high-voltage (HV) Fiat 500e installation begins with a visual inspection of the entire car. The initial look shows the rich service history of the Fiat 500e and what you can see at first glance, unfortunately LITTLE PROFESSIONAL !!!
[swpm_protected for=”2″]
despite the lack of visible obvious cause of the problem, the list of potential is growing every day.
Fiat 500e on-board chargers for testing.
The real hits start when the HV system modules are dismantled, which we always start with draining the coolant. Tanks at the top full of pink, blue fluid (typical colour after mixing with a typical Polish fluid) from the unscrewed tap under the radiator does not even drop a drop … Attempts to start the water pump despite checked fuses and forced command from the service computer do not bring the desired result …
The water pump is only started for the first time after the installation of the ‘new’ Fiat 500e on-board charger (OBCM). Unfortunately, this substitution has no effect when it comes to puncturing high voltage installations. Could another hard-boiled module be an inverter (PIM)
An additional small body test using a micrometer explains a lot about the car’s history and potential causes of the problem. In addition, it suggests one more potential cause of the problem of Fiat 500e Loss Of Insulation

Tips for repairing the Fiat 500e after an accident
Probably at the moment the most important information is that, as we get info from our friend Ptak Auto whos specialising in the distribution of original Mopar parts, including electric and hybrid cars of the FCA group, at the moment there are no problems with ordering parts for Fiat 500e from America.
Where to start repairing an electric car?
Above all, to start repairing your electric 500e HV battery remember to remove the fuse from under the rear seat.
Charging problem, call right away.
If, after picking up Fiat500e from the port, the car does not want to go into the ready-to-drive status – not ready, it shows 47% SOC or 0% battery State Of Charge. For instance, does not respond or reports an error after connecting the charger. The diagnosis is certain immediately !!!
Above all, the sooner you contact us, the more you will reduce battery damage and even reduce the cost of repairs several times, which Mr. Bartek recently learned. The quick reaction of Mr. Bartek, saved us from pulling out the HV battery from the Fiat 500e and allowed us to significantly reduce the cost of the entire operation repair of charging the Fiat 500e

Service Electric Vehicle System DTC’s on Fiat 500e it’s ‘not a big’ problem. That don’t cause Fiat 500e dead. But most often requires a diagnostic tool connection to perform full body diagnostics and read of all Fiat 500e DTC’s . This is an ideal example of electric car repair that i can do remotely via an online internet connection. The fault required a close look at the HV battery data. Small calibration correction. And car back to life without any other interference. As a result, it reduces the repair cost almost twice(comparing to FCA Mopar Service)
Service Electric Vehicle System can be a result of a lot of troubles. This MIL can be turned on by almost any Electric Fiat Modules. To get more information about the problem You should check Messages in IPC – Instrument Panel Cluster – Menu
As I mentioned, there can be many reasons, but for sure there is ONE since this error happened. This MIL is not a result of using bad fuel. Therefore, the solution suggested by forum users from fiat500us.com, i.e. disconnecting the battery, only causes the car to be reset, the MIL is temporarily turned off but does not solve the problem. meanwhile, the problem can only grow and wreak more havoc.
I have already repaired a car in which the owners “had to disconnect” the 12V batteries from time to time for a year. After lifting the battery cover, we couldn’t believe what we were seeing

I just came back from sunny Portugal, where we worked with the EVolution Service & Battery Center team on a new project. 500e service & EVolutionSBC has teamed up to create something big capacity. Original Fiat 500e Battery price exceeds the wildest expectations. Battery price is bigger than the price of the new car. Equals exactly 162,000 PLN or $42,000. New Fiat 500e in US cost only $34,000. Equipping this car with upgraded – enlarged batteries, will give it a completely new, better life.
We leave more details to yours guess 😉

Remotely assigning a new car key of Fiat 500e. One of our clients turned out to be quite BIG PROBLEM, the fact that the Fiat 500e keys were lost. Once he ordered new keys from FCA and collect the parcel from California. It tuned out, that it is problematic for the local Fiat dealer to assign the keys to the car.

When we were asked for help, the time and cost of the trip was several times greater than the value of the Fiat service itself. It was these 1.5 thousand km, over 3000km in both directions. This mobilised me to intensify work on a mobile diagnostic device that we could send to the client in a suitcase. I wanted it to be as easy to use as possible. The only role of the customer, is to remove the plug from the suitcase and connect to the Fiat 500e OBD socket. The device would automatically connect to our technician’s computer. That’ll givie him full access to programming the car standing anywhere else in the world. Fiat 500e Remotely assigning a new car key in Romania – Why not?

Post-collision unlocking of Fiat 500e has to be done always after airbag deployment. Fiat 500e lock’s itself after collision with heavy g force for safety reasons. unlocking requires a review of the condition of the electrical installation
Why Post collision inspection is so important in Electric Vehicles?
Post collision common problems: battery pack damage. How small hall in HV Battery Pack can become a BIG PROBLEM.
This dead Fiat 500e did not go into standby and did not want to charge. When we connect diagnostic computer, the first eye-throwing errors indicate overheating of the high-voltage package. After a quick check of the HV battery cooling installation, we proceeded to further analyse the actual data. Temperature readings from the individual target packets ranged from 21 to 85! Centigrade. Such readings clearly indicate damage to the balancer modules or the sensors themselves. As a result we got the decision, we lift the electric car up and take out the HV batteries.
