Possible Causes

Faulty pre‑charge resistor or circuit, Stuck contactor contacts, Incorrect voltage feedback to control board, Damaged sensing resistor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Pre‑charge circuits handle high voltage; only qualified technicians should service them.

  • Step 1 – Power cycle: Turn OFF the breaker for several minutes, then turn it back ON and see if E29 clears.
  • Step 2 – Listen for sequence: During start, you should hear a small click (pre‑charge) followed by a louder click (main contactor). Missing or abnormal sounds indicate a fault.
  • Step 3 – Visual inspection: With power OFF, inspect the pre‑charge resistor and associated wiring on the power module for discoloration or cracking.
  • Resolution: Replace the pre‑charge resistor assembly or main contactor as indicated by diagnostics. If components appear intact but E29 persists, replace the power module or main control board.
