Some CAN logs taken from various CAN buses of Hyundai Kona EV vehicles. To assist with reverse engineering and repurposing for EV conversions and other uses.
Log files are in the SavvyCAN "GVRET" CSV format.
- The
dbc/directory contains a DBC file with data pieced together so far. See the README in that directory. Note that DBC files aren't really readable as plain text, use a tool like SavvyCAN or Cabana. CAN IDS.mdhas some older preliminary notes about CAN IDs visible in these logs. Mostly superceded by the DBC file.- This Google Sheet from 2018 (author unknown) is mostly about Diagnostic OBD2 PIDs, but includes a useful diagram of the vehicle CAN bus architecture showing all the buses connected to the CAN gateway ("CGW" in the diagram, Hyundai seems to more typically call it the Integrated Gateway Power Module "IGPM").
This repo contains logs from:
- 2019 Kona EV Highlander (crashed). Has VESS & Active Air Flap System missing from P-CAN (connector broken).
- 2021 Kona EV Highlander (crashed).
Numbers TS nnn are log timestamps in seconds, correlated from videos or notes. Approximate only.
Many logs have accompanying videos that I haven't put in the repo (too big). If you're unsure about what happens at a particular time then you can open an Issue and ask me to check the video, I'll see what I can do.
Many of these logs become intermittent part way through due to consistently dropped messages, some kind of capturing issue. More details in this blog post. There are notes below about if/when this seems to happen in each log.
Model: 2019
(Log has no dropped messages.)
Channel 0: PCAN, Channel 1: DCAN with an OBD2 BT dongle attached.
Vehicle is Powered On and Ready for the entire log.
First running a DTC scan in the Torque Pro Android app for fault codes (none found by Torque, seems it doesn't support the Kona's diagnostics interface).
Starting around TS 337, running the custom PIDs for Kona monitoring values and scrolling through the available values (working).
Model: 2019
(Log probably has no dropped messages.)
Channel 0: PCAN, Channel 1: DCAN
Car is stationary for the whole log, putting it through various modes.
Channel 1 has an OBD2 BT dongle attached, session is alive but no interactions.

(Log may become intermittent after approx TS 695)
Channel 0: PCAN
Connecting to a DC fast charger while a charging system fault was present (charge plug socket control connector had been unplugged in the engine bay.)
Charging session doesn't initiate, vehicle doesn't even show the charge connector plug-in light on the cluster display.
TS 675 (approx) is when vehicle was connected to fast charger
Model: 2021
(Log probably has no dropped messages.)
Channel 1: DCAN
Running the Car Scanner ELM OBD2 app to scan for DTCs, with presets for Kona that ship in that app.
Model: 2021
(Log probably has no dropped messages.)
Channel 1: DCAN
As above, but with only VCU & MCU selected in the app interface.
Model: 2021
(This log appears to become intermittent after TS320.)
Channel 0: PCAN, Channel 1: DCAN

This log is from a third vehicle, not the same as the other two. It's from only the EPCU control board removed from the EPCU unit and powered on the bench (no connections to gate driver board or resolver.)
Power supplied to the power input pins (12V to large pins 47 & 48, 12V to small pin 46 for ignition/on, GND to 16.)
CAN connections:
- P-CAN pins 9 & 10 (H & L). This P-CAN bus is active but didn't send any messages in this configuration.
- P-CAN pins 28 & 29 (H & L). This P-CAN bus is what was logged, as Channel 1.

This log is only the SRSCM (SRS Control Module, i.e. airbag ECU) powered on the bench with nothing connected except for the PCAN and CCAN buses and a 1K pullup resistor to 12V on the Crash Output signal.
The crash output signal showed 80% duty cycle 12V 50Hz PWM while this capture was taken.
