Possible Causes
Loose pilot or proximity conductor in cable, Intermittent connector latch switch, Vibration‑sensitive solder joint on control board, Thermal expansion affecting cable terminations
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety warning: Intermittent connections can cause arcing and heat. Monitor for any signs of melting or burning.
- Observe pattern: Note if interruptions occur when the cable is moved or when temperature changes (e.g., after 30–60 minutes).
- Wiggle test: While charging (and observing from a safe distance), gently move the cable near the charger and near the vehicle connector. If charging drops out, suspect a cable fault.
- Inspect terminations: With power OFF, open the charger and check that all low‑voltage pilot/proximity wires are firmly clamped and strain‑relieved.
- Replace suspect cable: If any damage or looseness is found, replace the charge cable assembly.
- If issue remains after cable replacement: The main control board may have a cracked solder joint and should be replaced.
