Possible Causes

Welded main contactor/relay inside charger, Shorted output cable conductors, Water ingress causing short in handle, Faulty relay drive circuit on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: A short circuit can cause severe damage. Turn OFF the breaker immediately and do not re-energize until the fault is located.

  • 1. Inspect the cable and handle:
    • Look for burn marks, melted plastic, or obvious damage on the AMPROAD cable and J1772 handle.
    • If any damage is visible, replace the entire cable & handle assembly.
  • 2. Check for water ingress:
    • If the charger or handle has been exposed to heavy rain or flooding, do not use it until fully inspected and dried.
    • Replace any components that show corrosion or tracking.
  • 3. Internal relay inspection (qualified only):
    • With power OFF and locked out, open the charger.
    • Locate the main power contactor/relay on the power board.
    • Check for welded contacts by measuring continuity across the relay output with the unit de-energized and in the OFF state. There should be no continuity.
  • 4. Replace faulty parts:
    • If the relay is welded or the power board is damaged, replace the AMPROAD power board assembly.
    • If the cable is shorted, replace the cable & handle assembly.
  • 5. Final test: After replacing components, reassemble, restore power, clear E06 by power-cycling, and test with a known-good vehicle.
