Possible Causes
Shorted J1772 cable conductors, Internal fault in vehicle’s onboard charger drawing excessive current, Faulty current sensor (CT) on Blink control board, Miscalibrated or damaged main control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the EVSE breaker before inspecting the cable or internal components.
Steps to troubleshoot:
- Inspect the charge cable: Look for cuts, crushed sections, or melted insulation along the Blink cable. Any visible damage warrants immediate replacement.
- Test with another vehicle: If E06 only occurs with one EV, the vehicle’s onboard charger may be faulty. Advise the owner to have the vehicle serviced.
- Check for hot spots: After a brief charge attempt (if safe), feel the cable and connector for unusual heating (do not touch bare conductors). Excessive heat suggests high resistance or overcurrent.
- Internal current sensor: With power OFF and cover removed, locate the current transformer (CT) around the output conductors. Ensure it is firmly seated and its wiring to the control board is intact.
- Board-level fault: If cable and vehicle are good, and CT wiring is intact, the current sensing circuit on the main control board may be defective and require replacement.
Never bypass overcurrent protection. Replace damaged cable or faulty components as needed.
