An EV repair needs a written record of the original configuration

When controllers or assemblies are replaced, the original configuration helps explain what the car had before the work. Relying on memory or a donor vehicle description creates avoidable uncertainty.

How to approach the assessment

Keep part labels, existing scan identification and invoices together. The workshop should use vehicle-specific information to determine compatibility and any setup requirements. Do not assume that copying another car’s configuration is an appropriate substitute for establishing yours.

Useful details to send

  • Original component identifiers.
  • Factory and later equipment relevant to the repair.
  • Previous configuration changes.

Arrange the right assessment

This is enquiry guidance, not a high-voltage repair procedure. Do not open battery packs or work on high-voltage equipment. Agree the vehicle assessment and transport arrangements with the receiving workshop first.

Ask AXION about your repair or read our EV and hybrid assessment information. Workshop visits are by appointment in Didcot. Confirm suitability before posting any removed module.
