Diagnostic Procedure for SCI Power Control Station
If the vehicle fails to charge, and it is connected to an SCI PCS,
use this procedure to determine if it is operating properly.
•
Make note of any lights that are flashing or steadily illuminated
on the PCS.
•
Determine if the charge connector is properly inserted in the
vehicle inlet and locked in place.
•
If the Charge Interrupted Light is illuminated, the vehicle may have
undergone a series of faults which forced the PCS to terminate the
charge process.
– Push the Stop button.
– To clear the fault, unplug the charge connector from the vehicle
inlet.
– Inspect the charge cable and connector for any signs of possible
damage (i.e., cuts, tears, or breaks in the cable insulation).
– If damage is found, call the PCS manufacturer for repair.
– If the charge cable /connector are undamaged, reconnect the PCS
to the vehicle inlet.
– If the Charge Interrupted Light is still illuminated or flashing,
consult your local dealer to determine a possible vehicle fault.
•
If the Service Light is illuminated:
– Disconnect the charge connector from the vehicle inlet.
– Turn off the power to your PCS at the service or disconnect
panel.
– Turning off the power may allow the PCS to clear the fault.
– Turn the power back on and reconnect the PCS to the vehicle
inlet.
– If the Service Light is still illuminated, call the PCS
manufacturer for repair or replacement.
•
If the Immediate, Economy, or Charging light is illuminated, the
PCS is operating correctly and vehicle diagnostics should be
performed.
•
If turning the PCS power on and off or unplugging and plugging
the charge connector in the vehicle inlet does not cause any of the
lights to illuminate on the PCS, the PCS has either failed or has a
damaged charge cord. Call the PCS manufacturer for repair or
replacement.
