D6 Hybrid Battery balance with VDASH
-
Hi all,
I have a Volvo V60 D6 Plug-in Hybrid (P3 platform, model year 2013, European market car. Battery range has strongly decreases, specially by high load. Battery recovers later itself.
Before buying an interface, I'd like to confirm what VDASH can do on this car:- Can VDASH read live data from the BECM (hybrid battery control module) on the D6, in particular individual cell or module voltages, temperatures and state of charge? Is there any state of health or capacity value?
- Can it read and clear BECM and other hybrid system fault codes?
- Is the free (Sponsored) account enough for this, or is a paid feature needed?
- Which interface do you recommend for this car: genuine DiCE or Super J2534? Do DiCE clones work reliably with the BECM?
My goal is to find out whether the problem is one weak module or general degradation of the pack, before deciding between repair and replacement.
Thanks in advance!

@Luigarma there is no such functions in VIDA and therefore also not in Vdash for single cells or modules. You can read the SoC, temperature, age, and so on for the whole HV battery. But I'm not sure if Vdash supports all of that.
Here are the parameters that VIDA supports
If you don't have VIDA, write me a PM for a download link.
Get a Super J2534/Mongoose adapter for your car. An original DICE costs 4 digit amounts of money and is almost impossible to find nowadays. The last time I checked it was around 1200 Euros here in germany. DICE clones often have completely different hardware from other not recommended adapters like Vxdiag or Scanmatic inside, so they look like DICEs but are worthless crap in reality. The same goes for Super J2534/Mongoose from untrusted sources of course.
