Possible Causes

Vehicle requesting more current than charger is configured to supply, Loose output connections causing heat and false overcurrent detection, Faulty current sensor on control board, Incorrect maximum current setting in FordPass or charger configuration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the breaker before opening the charger enclosure.

  • 1. Check configuration: Using the FordPass app or charger web interface (if supported), verify that the maximum current setting matches the circuit rating and installation (e.g., 48A on a 60A circuit).
  • 2. Inspect internal connections: With power OFF, check that all output conductors from the contactor to the charge cable terminals are tight and show no signs of overheating.
  • 3. Observe charging current: If your vehicle or app shows real-time current, confirm that it does not exceed the charger’s configured limit. If it does, reduce the vehicle’s charge current setting if possible.
  • 4. Reset and test: After adjustments, power-cycle the charger and attempt another charge session. Monitor for recurrence of E006.
  • 5. Persistent E006: If the fault occurs even at low current, the internal current sensor or control board may be defective. Contact a qualified technician for diagnosis and board replacement.
