HA version 240

Some changes in version 240

- SOC icon color scale changes: no more yellow if under 60
yellow is now triggered when EV mode is no more available, so over temperature 45C and under 50% (I care about leaving car at >50% at night, so I can exit garage in EV next morning)

- thermometer icon changes to red if any powertrain component is red (ICE, MG or inverter)

- color of ICE temperature is now yellow when raising, since using orange was interpreted as an error condition by some

- RPM icon is now back to green-yellow scale
no more red during S1: advising user is now powerball job

Fan Probe

Fan Assistant keeps your HV battery within optimal temperature range. To achieve this, it's necessary to have a good reading of the cabin air temperature.
The inhaling temperature sensor of the HV battery needs air flowing through it to have a correct reading, so, every 5 minutes, Hybrid Assistant will turn on the fan at minimum speed to update its value.
You can disable this behavior using the Fan probe switch

Fan Assistant

Introducing the new Fan Assistant

The Fan icon is now a 3-state toggle; every tap will rotate between:
OFF - fan controlled by the car
MANUAL - forced ventilation
AUTO - Hybrid Assistant will turn on or off according to temperature

The Fan Assistant can help you keep your HV battery in an optimal temperature range.
If the battery is too hot, the fan will spin to cool it down.
If the battery is cold, and the cabin temperature is hotter, the fan will spin to heat up the battery.
This feature is primarily meant to be used in really cold climate areas, where a pre-ignition heater is installed in the car.

Warning: the fan control feature is not approved or validated by Toyota. Hybrid Assistant and its development team can't be held responsible for any inconvenience that may related to its usage or misusage. Use it only with high quality OBD adapters and at your own risk.

Engine Temperature Management

During the winter season, a classic trick is covering up the radiator grid, but this can be risky if you don't properly monitor the engine temperature.

You can use Hybrid Assistant, while driving, to check that the engine temperature stays within operating limits.
While this is usually not an issue in a urban environment, driving on the highway is not always considered safe.
Using Hybrid Reporter, you can check the engine behavior: here is a test of 20 kms at 130 km/h indicated speed.
The engine coolant temperature settles on a safe value of 90°C.
We can see that the electric engine temperature was raising, but its operating temperature is way higher that the petrol one, beeing able to work until about 160°C.
A higher trip may show if the trend will slow down and settle on a stable temperature.

Engine coolant temperature: coolant of the petrol engine
Inverter temperature: highest temperature among all car inverters
Battery temperature: highest temperature among all temperature sensors of the HV battery
Battery inhaling temperature: temperature inside the car, you can't expect the HV temperature to go below this
MotorGenerator temperature: highest temperature among all electric motors
External temperature: temperature outside the car
