Possible Causes

Shorted component in GM power conversion module, Failed surge protection device on input, Burned trace or connector on main control board, Water ingress causing internal arcing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If the breaker trips immediately when you turn it ON, leave it OFF. Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker.

Steps:

  • Visual inspection: Without opening the enclosure, look for discoloration, warping, or burn marks on the charger housing and cable entry points.
  • Check for water exposure: If the charger is outdoors or in a damp area, look for signs of water running down the wall or into the unit. If you suspect water ingress, do not use the charger.
  • Isolate the issue: If other circuits in the panel are fine and only the charger breaker trips, the fault is likely internal to the charger.

This error typically indicates a non‑serviceable internal failure. Do not open the charger or attempt board‑level repairs. Contact GM support or a licensed electrician to remove and replace the unit.
