Possible Causes
Loose Type 2 connector latch, Worn contacts in Hyundai tethered cable, Fluctuating grid voltage near limits, Overheating of internal components causing brief derating
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Avoid wiggling the connector while energized.
- Check mechanical fit: Ensure the plug is fully inserted and the latch is engaged. If the connector feels loose, the cable assembly may be worn.
- Observe pattern: Note whether interruptions occur at high current or high temperature; this may indicate thermal derating.
- Ventilation: Improve airflow around the charger and avoid charging during peak heat if possible.
- Test with another cable (socketed models): If interruptions stop with a different cable, replace the original Hyundai cable.
- If issue persists with good cable and normal temps: Have a technician check internal relays and temperature sensors on the power board.
