Possible Causes

Stuck or welded main contactor/relay, Short circuit in output wiring to vehicle connector, Faulty current sensor on power board, Incorrect current limit configuration on main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the dedicated EV charger breaker. Do not attempt to open the relay compartment while energized.

  • Check settings: If your Hyundai charger has a configuration app or DIP switches, verify the maximum current setting matches the circuit rating (e.g., 32 A on a 40 A breaker is incorrect).
  • Inspect output cable: Look for burn marks, melted insulation, or kinks near the wallbox strain relief and along the cable.
  • Listen for relay click: With the cover on and power restored, start a charge session and listen for a distinct click from the internal contactor. If no click or a loud buzzing is heard, the relay may be stuck or failing.
  • Power down and open (if allowed): With power OFF, remove the cover and visually inspect the main contactor/relay for discoloration or melted plastic.
  • If relay appears damaged or E03 persists: The main contactor and possibly the current sensor on the power board should be replaced by a qualified technician. Do not attempt to free a welded relay manually.
