Possible Causes
Incorrect load sharing configuration in FordPass or web interface, Faulty communication between master and slave chargers, Miswired shared current sensor, Defective load management controller
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: For multi-charger installations, coordination issues can overload circuits. Turn OFF chargers if you suspect misconfiguration.
- 1. Verify configuration: Using the app or web interface, confirm that only one charger is set as ‘master’ and others as ‘slave’ according to Ford’s instructions.
- 2. Check network connections: Ensure all chargers are connected to the same network (Wi‑Fi or wired) and that signal strength is adequate.
- 3. Inspect shared current sensor (if used): Confirm that any external current transformer (CT) is installed on the correct feeder and wired correctly to the master charger.
- 4. Test chargers individually: Temporarily disable load sharing and test each charger alone to confirm they work properly.
- 5. If E017 persists: The load management controller or communication module in the master charger may be defective and require replacement.
