Troubleshooting Using The Status Indicator
Display
If the vehicle is not charging properly, consult the status
indicator lights.
The AC Power Indicator displays the status and safety
of the input power. If this indicator is green, the power
is within acceptable limits to charge the vehicle. If only
the AC Power Indicator is flashing red, then there is a
problem with the AC power at the electrical outlet. If
the AC Power Indicator does not return to green, then
the outlet should be inspected by a licensed electrician
to ensure the voltage, frequency, and grounding are
complaint to national and local electrical codes and
ordinances. It may be possible to attempt charging from
a different outlet.
The Fault Indicator displays the status of the Portable
EVSE Cordset and the vehicle connection. The Portable
EVSE Cordset will not allow charging while the fault
indicator is red. If it is off, the Portable EVSE Cordset
has not detected any internal faults, or faults with the
vehicle connection. If the Fault Indicator is flashing red,
there is a fault detected either with the Portable EVSE
Cordset, electronics, or with the vehicle connection. The
Portable EVSE Cordset may attempt to retry to provide
current to the vehicle if the fault is cleared. If the Fault
Indicator does not attempt to provide charge to the
vehicle, the charge connector will need to be removed
from the vehicle to clear the fault.
The fault code list in the table below provides a
reference for the important faults that are detected by
the Portable EVSE Cordset. When a fault is detected, the
AC Power Indicator, the Fault Indicator, or both the AC
Power and Fault Indicators will flash red. If only the AC
Power Indicator is red, there is a problem on the AC
Power side of the unit. If only the Fault Indicator is
flashing red, there is a problem internal to the unit or
with the vehicle. If both the AC Power and Fault
Indicators are flashing red, an over temperature condi-
tion is detected at either the AC plug or within the
enclosure. Additional information about the faults is
provided by a fault code that is displayed on the two
green Charge Rate Indicators. The fault code consists of
four digits, each with a value of 1 or 2. The value of a
digit is the number of indicators illuminated for that
part of the sequence. For example, fault code (1, 2, 1, 1)
will display the following sequence: One indicator will
illuminate for (0.3 seconds), then two indicators will
illuminate, then one indicator, and finally one indicator
will illuminate. After all four fault code digits have been
displayed, the indicators will remain off for one second
before repeating the sequence.
