Electric cars - eGolf, eUP, Citigo etc. - what can I read with VDCS?

[rcrco]

Hi!
As I own the VW eUP (2015), I am searching for the right tool to check my car electric systems - main battery, charger, motor, etc.

Could I find somewhere a list of areas which your diagnostic tools support?!

E.g: Am I able to read and log main battery SOC, each cell voltage, etc.?!

Thank you so much!

Should be possible with vcds yes

Everything the manufacturer made available to read with a scan tool.

Great answer. Thank you. But... Is there any list for?!

There are no lists published.. These things the "manufacturer makes available to read with a scan tool" are learned through use/doing. With time and willing members of this forum, more details are revealed.

Its been "the way" for the last 23 years.

Yep, we are Mandolorians.

They vary from car to car, depending on how they are equipped and configured.
You can generate such lists ("maps") for your specific car once you have the tool.
You can also look in the Reference Scans section of the forum to see if anyone has posted maps from an eUP. I don't recall any, but my memory isn't perfect.
