LESSON 5: DIAGNOSIS
5-24
Diagnostic Procedure EVI Power Control Station
If the vehicle fails to charge, and it is connected to an EVI PCS,
use this procedure to determine if it is operating properly.
•
Make note of any lights that are illuminated or any messages being
issued by your PCS.
•
Determine if the charge connector is properly inserted in the
vehicle inlet and locked in place.
•
If the Protection 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 Protection 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 Ready 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.
