Possible Causes

Charger configured to low maximum current in installer settings, Thermal derating due to high internal temperature, Faulty current sensor misreporting load, Undersized supply circuit causing voltage drop

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Configuration changes can be done with power ON; internal checks require power OFF.

  • Check settings: In the Hyundai app or installer menu, verify the maximum current is set to the circuit’s rated value (e.g., 32 A on a 40 A circuit is not allowed; set to 32 A on a 40 A breaker only if permitted by local code).
  • Monitor temperature: If the charger is hot, improve ventilation or reduce ambient temperature.
  • Measure voltage: A technician should check for excessive voltage drop under load, indicating undersized wiring.
  • If configuration and wiring are correct: The current sensor or metering circuit may be faulty and require board replacement.
