NOTE: It is good practice to keep the ignition in the OFF
position while conducting Level 1 Charging. This mini-
mizes any additional vehicle loads the EVSE has to sup-
port. The additional electrical loads will extent the High
Voltage Battery charging time.
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 Portable EVSE
Cordset 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 condition is detected at either the AC plug or
within the EVSE 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 illumi-
nate for 0.3 seconds, then two indicators will illuminate,
