    I bought a wrecked Lamborghini Revuelto but ever since owning the car and rebuilding it ive never been able to start it. Lamborghini says it needs a new hybrid battery once the cars been in a accident but cant guarantee that will work so ive got to find a way of getting this car started myself.

    Matt, I’m a 64 year old surgeon who used to tinker with cars.
    What you are doing with your projects is not just fixing cars. You are teaching many young people the value of hard work and staying positive.
    In my line of work, failure is not an option. When operating if something goes wrong you HAVE TO FIND A SOLUTION or you might lose a life. That’s what drew me to your videos. Your can do attitude and not giving up until problem is solved.
    Keep it up son. You are on a righteous path.

      So, here is how it will work. The Government will make it economically impossible to be able to run an ICE car forcing everyone into BEV's. The electrical blackouts caused by too many people charging EV's will be the excuse they need to restrict vehicle use to a select few. Goal achieved; no free movement, full control.

    • @jamiem2494
      @jamiem2494 8 months ago +24

      @timbraska6750right to repair is EU only and doesn’t start until July 2026
      Also if you read the legislation you’ll see this doesn’t break the rules.
      1. It’s modular. So passes rule 1.
      2. Spare parts and software UPDATES are available so passes rule 2.
      3. Provides access to repair practices which is why Lamborghini went there and were going to ship it to Italy. Passes rule 3
      4. Allows the replacement of electric battery which you just watched in this video. Passes rule 4.
      Apple were not providing parts. That’s why they got in trouble. Lamborghini do provide parts and pass every rule in the legislation but LEGALLY they don’t have to do any of that in the UK

    • @LeaA4B5
      @LeaA4B5 8 months ago +10

      ​​@timbraska6750 The EU headquarter in Brussels have put up this "right to repair". Unfortunately, each EU member country now has to implement this into their national laws- and the given timeframe to do so is up to the year 2026. So, either way, yous in the UK/ Mat are/is unfortunately 💩💩-on double: Brexit and timeframe.
      And this new EU guideline also contents the right that independent workshops must be allowed to get access/ hold on to manufacturers (repair) software...
      And the fact that the battery control unit/ ECU can't be bought separately from the high-voltage battery is clearly obstruction and a violation of existing laws, at least here in Germany.
      If Lamborghini would have any piece of honour and customer service attitude left, they should "repair"/ get the car running for free.
      As mentioned in other comments, I would get the Infineon chip soldered out and replaced by a new one, specialized experts can do that and even rewrite the chip. Not an easy undertaking and maybe expensive, but possible and certainly cheaper than 35k 💷...
      Also additionally maybe worth a shot having a look at spare parts from Audi's e-tron GT, as Lamborghinis are built half with Audi parts... 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • @robbarnes3386
    @robbarnes3386 8 months ago +6169

    Well done guys! The 3 recorded motor faults are almost certainly pointing to a fault with the CAN communications with the inverters (connected to each of the motor). Each ignition cycle is clearing the inverter faults on the new cycle, and the fault is returning quickly, but giving you a few seconds of motor control before the vehicle supervisor says 'enough now'. Check the inverter grounds (particularly near where any damage occurred to the car), and get and oscilloscope on the CAN High and CAN Low lines. CAN high should go between 2.5V and 3.75V as a square wave. CAN low should go from 2.5V down to 1.25V. CAN wires will almost certainly be a twisted pair. If there is a problem with the signals, look at all the connections. You might try disconnecting the low voltage connector to one inverter at a time, then see if you can clear the faults on the other two, and see if the faults on those two stay away. Happy hunting, you're almost there!

    • @robbarnes3386
      @robbarnes3386 8 months ago +464

      with all of the power off, and car shut down, you should be able to measure a resistance of near to 120Ohms between CAN High and CAN Low

      @WaydenPhillips 8 months ago +147

      If you've installed a new battery in your Lamborghini Revuelto and it still won't start - especially after a crash shutoff fault - the problem likely isn't with the 12V battery alone. Here’s a focused breakdown of what could still be wrong:
      ---
      1. Crash Safety System Still Active
      Even with a new battery, if the crash shutoff hasn't been cleared properly, the car won’t allow startup. The safety system may still be:
      Disabling the fuel pump or high-voltage hybrid system
      Locking the starter relay or ECU
      Fix:
      You’ll need to connect a diagnostic tool that supports Lamborghini and clear/reset the crash event.
      Some Lamborghini systems require an authenticated tool (like ODIS or LARA), which only dealerships or specialists have.
      ---
      2. High-Voltage System Lockout (Hybrid Lockdown)
      Since the Revuelto is a plug-in hybrid, after a crash:
      The car disables its high-voltage system (HV battery + motors).
      Even with a perfect 12V battery, no start will occur if the HV side is shut down.
      Fix:
      Only a qualified technician can safely re-engage the HV system.
      There are safety interlocks and fuses that may need to be inspected/replaced.
      ---
      3. Other Potential Issues to Check
      12V Battery Terminal Sensors: Some Lamborghinis have battery monitoring sensors - if not properly reconnected, the ECU may still block startup.
      Airbag Control Module Lock: If airbags deployed, the control unit might prevent ignition until reset or replaced.
      ECU or Immobilizer Lockout: Crash events can trip the immobilizer or ECU protections.
      ---
      What You Should Do Next
      Use a professional diagnostic scan tool (OBD2 is not enough - Lamborghini-specific tools are needed).
      Look for and clear any crash data, airbag deployment logs, HV interlock errors, or immobilizer faults.
      If you don’t have access to this equipment, a Lamborghini-certified repair center must clear these errors.
      ---
      If you can give me any error messages, dashboard lights, or a scan report (even a photo), I can help analyze the codes. Want to go that route?
      My dad is working at lambo so try this matt good luck bro✝️🙏🙏

    I think what’s stopping the car from moving might be a safety feature that VW has started adding to their newer vehicles. The seatbelt needs to be fastened before you try to put the car into gear, otherwise, if you try to drive without it, the handbrake will automatically engage and the gearbox will shift into Park.
    It’s a small thing, but definitely worth checking out!
    Really love your content, keep up the great work and keep those awesome videos coming!

    • @5parky
      @5parky 8 months ago +9

      Lambo or any automotive manufacturer for that matter is in the business of selling cars, not putting crashed cars back on the road. The battery was purchased freewill and wasn’t a guaranteed fix. Not a service. Good luck Matt we’re rooting for you.

    Hi Mat! As a mechanic myself I've always enjoyed watching you trying to fix your cars! As for your current problem, you should try bleeding the high voltage coolant system with vacuum as these cars are quite delicate regarding the coolant for the HV. When I worked as a HV technician for Volkswagen, the cars would have a lot of problems if there were not enough coolant in the HV-system. I noticed you only topped up the coolant reservoir, and that wont be enough! Volkswagen has actually made a program on ODIS that bleeds out the HV-system by running the pumps for several minutes, and this has to be done after the vacuum bleeding. I'm not sure you will be able to run the pumps with the scanner you have, but just bleeding the system with vacuum goes a long way! Also, having no coolant in the HV battery is definitely a no-go! Good luck!!

    You know you can skip JTAG connector and go dirrectly to that infineon chip. or even better, i would just buy clear chip from ebay or infineon itself, and flash it with firmware from that new battery (clone it) and then just return the battery.

      I tried reaching out back in the day when they were working on the Murciélago, to see if I could try reading the EEPROM from the old dashboard and maybe extract the mileage from it, but they never got back to me. You could still try contacting them, but since they’ve already bought the new battery, I think those kinds of solutions are probably off the table now.

    • @leehawk7068
      @leehawk7068 8 months ago +8

      I was going to suggest a similar solution
      I was thinking pulling the chip dump the data and use an hex editor or something similar and look at the data either edit to remove the crash data or set it as unlocked
      I've done the same process on chips like this for various devices of all kinds over the years
      Just keep an original dump of the firmware and flash in the edited version and see what happens

  • @declanhayes2870
    @declanhayes2870 8 months ago +112

    I have a theory
    Your traction control light is still illuminated means there’s still an abs fault. The abs/ wheel speed sensors not working at the front where the Electric motors are. So it won’t allow you do creep or drive because it can’t monitor the electric speed. Because of this I reckon the car starts but I won’t allow you to drive keeping it in a hard limp mode. There’s definitely no communication between the front end and the ecu. Good luck buddy what a journey this is

  • @kaiiandrewsmusic
    @kaiiandrewsmusic 8 months ago +41

    One thing I’m noticing about your Lamborghini’s is that they all have unique stories and character behind them. The Gallardo was the first lambo you bought, you crashed it, and rebuilt it because it has a special place in your heart. The Murci was your dream car that you built from scratch (even the engine) with your Dad. And now the Rev. A risk, which acts like a sassy human being literally 😹. A car that started out of nowhere 😭, and a car you know in such a way some technicians don’t even know. THATS CHARACTER, and it’s why I love these cars. They’re so imperfect you can’t help but love them. When the Rev comes back, please keep it. It’s got such a great story.

I hope it was dust and not your motor actually releasing smoke cause that can be a sign of a bad motor internally. Ive worked on ALOT of motors and when there is smoke like that it's due to a bad motor internally. Hope it's just a camera trick and just dust.

    #1 read the manual - #2 seatbelt has to be on and doors, hood, trunk, all need to be closed - the vehicle knows when it's been put onto a lift and when the battery has been unplugged completely. If you unplug the main EV battery you should have done the same for the 12V battery FIRST. - Why you were able to "trick" it to go - because you did so before the system could check the seat belt - via pre-tensioner seat belt sensor. To reset manually all components - you need to just unplug the main EV Battery AFTER removing + and = cables from the 12V battery - also there are 2 EV safety plugins one is green where you unplugged it the other is in the fuse panel - BOTH need to be unplugged - Otherwise the reset will not occur since there is power going to components and are not draining. let sit for a day - all unplugged with doors open - then when that is done - plug everything back in with the doors SHUT and the key AWAY from the vehicle as to not trigger auto unlock and so on. - It's stupid - it's all bs that shouldn't be a problem - it's your problem - LAMBORGHINI will NOT tell you this is your problem. Maybe it's other things but this is the main thing that is overlooked on many hybrid exotics and regular street EV's and Hybrids. This reset - resets your seatbelt tensioners that were triggered in the accident.
    When the 12 V vehicle battery has been disconnected, all
    functions of the vehicle electrical system stop operating
    (applies in particular for the emergency flashers and electric
    seat adjustment).
    Observe the additional information in chapter 4 “Access
    to the occupants” and chapter 9 “Important additional
