Has your BMW i3 been feeling a bit "off"? Maybe you've noticed slower acceleration, or it just doesn't feel as "peppy" as it once did. If that's the case, Firestone technicians can conduct a complimentary* hybrid/electric vehicle check for more details. There could be an issue with the high voltage cooling system in your i3 -- if the high voltage battery is running hot, it will limit the battery’s performance. Then again, it could be that your i3 has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules. Firestone Complete Auto technicians are trained to provide conventional and low voltage services for all electric vehicles, and that includes your 2014 BMW i3.
Some Firestone stores also have advanced/high voltage services for electric cars like BMW i3s. A high voltage service is any service that involves removing the i3's high voltage, safety/service disconnect switch/plug, servicing high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, any high voltage cables, etc. Call ahead before making an appointment to confirm the high voltage services at your closest location.
Some of these high voltage electric vehicle services might include:
Electric vehicle diagnostic: Once we identify the symptoms, a diagnostic is the next step we take when you bring your 2014 BMW i3 in to identify the root cause. With that info in hand, a trained technician will further investigate any electric vehicle problems and decide if more analysis is required to complete the fix. No repair work is done until you give us the thumbs up.
High voltage battery cooling inspection: Your technician will examine the i3's high voltage battery filter, if applicable, and clean the battery's ducts. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)
High voltage cable inspection: Your technician will visually inspect the outer cable jackets and connectors on your 2014 BMW i3 and test to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement due to wear and tear.
Isolation test: During this test, the technician will use a special tool to check for any high voltage components that are "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.
Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is your BMW i3's high voltage battery a goner? Electric vehicle batteries can sometimes fail sooner than expected in hotter climates or if you often use Level 3 fast-charging stations, since these stations may heat the battery more. Let us replace it for you.
Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll review the power inverter, electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), and/or regenerative braking in your BMW i3.
These are just a few of the more specialized electric car services that might be offered at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Call ahead to confirm!
