Bosch error codes

If any of what i said above is true then between now and getting to the dealer again, simply try taking out the lowest charged battery and see how it all goes then with the bike.
Try charging the lowest charged battery on it's own.

Thats good to know.
 
Christina believes hers was designed by "Bergholt Stuttley Johnson" of Disc World fame. In that way it shows a certain degree of status! At her new place above Bridgeway in Sausalito, she would need to take it up and back down 40 steps. So, she keeps it at a friend's place in Mill Valley until it sells. Joel in Petaluma is embarrassed to ride his in group rides because it cannot handle single track, technical trails or maintain sustained climbs without showing error codes.
 
I made this one today for a guy in Marin Co. California. He wanted 37 WTB gravel tires over the original 28mm road tires. He wanted to double the stopping power in the simplest way. I kept the system open source. To order the most complex part, a controller is for example $65, plug and play, and takes two days to arrive, no shop needed for service, ever.
I wanted to keep it clean with internal wires, and modular, five sizes of batteries can plug into the connector anytime with two carried when required. Lower than average weight generally allows for better than average handling - to take curbs and trails.
Total weight 34.3 pounds, distribution 14.8 to the front and 19.5 to the rear. The center of gravity above the hubs: 110cm above the front hub and 75cm above the rear hub. A low center line is best for handling with weight like a sailboat's design low and centered.
Output is 80Nm from the nominal low draw mid-drive torque sensor. No throttle. Minimalist display.
At 80Rpm it does 27.5 Mph with the Nexus-8. This what a 2012 Raleigh Cadent saved from the landfill looks like.

I admire your work and like to read your posts. I think you bring a lot of expertise and experience to discussions.

However, I don't think it is appropriate for you to be interspersing multiple show and tell of your conversion builds in a Bosch Brand forum.

Please post this sort of post where it more properly belongs - https://electricbikereview.com/forums/forum/diy/ This is where people looking for your type of service would be looking for info anyway.

Spaghetti:
There is the stuff from the store, canned.
There is the stuff made in a trailer park in Manitoba, DYI.
Then there is the stuff made by a Chef.
All three types of spaghetti will look quite similar under their comparative laser spectro analysis profiles.
The same goes with bikes. The important part with bikes is who their playmates are. What bikes do the very best bikes run with in Marin County California, the #1 prime North American Market for eBikes? How does it taste? What do verified Google Maps reviewers say within the #1 market for premium?
Is a Spaghetti-O’s canned bike the same as the real deal? The stats say so. But what if you tasted from the top shelf yourself? It is Okay that you like SpaghettiOs but refrain from categorization until you have tasted the difference yourself. Nothing wrong with Bosch if that is what you like. Cool. But these systems are not immune from outside perspectives.
 
Anyone from Bosch or JVBulman confirm these code meanings & possible cause for problems?
 
You originally mentioned:
- 595 is a Rohloff E14 error, it's possible it wasn't calibrated during the build. You can find a step-by-step guide here.
- 606 is a vague voltage error, we've seen this one a couple times, but it's yet to present itself as a persistent issue, restarting the system is the only listed solution.

In info i have i found that the 606 is:
Source 1: External battery pack error. Check the wiring. Restart the system. If the problem persists, contact your Bosch eBike dealer.
Source 2: External short circuit. Check plug and cable for damage or manipulation. Print service report, delete error code, restart system. If the problem persists, please contact the eBike hotline.

& the Rohloff site shows:
595, Error in der CAN-Bus Communication - longer than 10 Seconds

To me it sounds like a battery problem or Y cable problem?
 
And you did mention:
Putting aside all the bells and whistles such as the integrated brake lights, high beams, and horn, the mechanical complexity of the bike means the electronics have to be installed/routed with different considerations. Just as an example, some of these cables are actually moving with the travel of the rear shock of the bike - which puts different stresses on the electronics.
 
Luckily I haven’t seen the 595 again since I did a recalibration of the Rohloff.

I also haven’t seen the 606, or any other error since the first 606. I have charged the bike since then without issue. However I have not run the bike down as low as it was before that charge (~10%), I’ve only gotten down to around 30%. I’m planning on running to down that far before the next charge, but that will take another couple days to do.

Sounds to me there's no real proof the re-calibration fixed the 595 error then.
Wow, i'm stumped.

The fact that it hasn't come up again after re-calibration would be satisfactory in a professional setting. In general, errors aren't really concerning unless they're persistent.

If indeed let's say the Y cable did get "pinched" to cause these errors because of the rear suspension or something then i'd be worried as i may be (in Australia) 600km (370 miles) from any kind of help and as you know would be a huge effort to get to these wires inside the frame.
And there's no conclusive proof that the re-calibration fixed it.
 
So this morning I rode the bike 1.5 miles after the range hit 0. At this point (4% total battery) the assistance stopped. I then charged it fully, I just checked and it charged to 100% without any error. So I guess it probably was just some random first hiccups that I hit before.

Hi, any more error 606 or others since or had any cables looked at?

No, but I also just started riding again. I last rode in November. I broke my finger (not bike related), so I don’t have a ton of miles since then. I also haven’t had the cables inspected by a dealer. I did look at them as much as I could without disassembling major things.
