I did as you recommended:
1) discharge pack to 96V
2) install IPU cover
3) charge the shorter of 32 hours OR peak voltage held for 8 hours. Attempt to verify that air is being drawn in through the vents in the upper deck (you should be able to feel/hear it)
4) remove IPU cover
5) repeat 1-3
Made a noticeable difference with the cover on and was able to get the pack to read a stable 181 after sitting a good 48hours.
I reconnected the reguklar battery and drove the car all weekend without issue. No IMA or CEL on. It was glorious.
Day 4 I wasnt so fortunate. I was stuck in heavy traffic and the IMA light showed its face again. (note that im driving in 30F temps too) The car has since been parked and I will take the readings from the connector per your suggestion.
You said:"There is a lead to each stick pair, i.e., you just walk the probe from one set of pins to the next."
By walking do you mean I hook up to a ground(which pin?) and then check each cell or pin and write down my voltages?
Also I appreciate everything you have helped me with up to this point, THANK YOU.
