20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
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 condition 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 illumi-
nate for (0.3 seconds), then two indicators will illuminate,
then one indicator, and finally one indicator will illumi-
nate. After all four fault code digits have been displayed,
the indicators will remain off for one second before repeat-
ing the sequence.
