Possible Causes
Engaged external emergency stop button wired to BYD charger, Open circuit on safety interlock terminals, Faulty E‑stop switch, Misconfigured digital input in charger settings
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Confirm there is no real emergency before resetting any E‑stop.
- Locate E‑stop: Find any red emergency stop buttons associated with the charger and verify if they are pressed.
- Reset E‑stop: Twist or pull the button (depending on type) to release it, then check if E20 clears.
- Inspect wiring: If you have an external interlock (e.g., gate, switch), have an electrician verify continuity on the safety loop.
- Check configuration: In the BYD settings, ensure the digital input mode matches the installed hardware (normally open vs. normally closed).
- Replace faulty E‑stop: If the switch does not latch or release properly, replace it with a compatible emergency stop switch.
