Possible Causes

Failed temperature sensor embedded in Type 2 plug, Broken sensor wiring in output cable, Poor crimp or solder joint at sensor connection on control board, Control board misreading sensor input

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety warning: Overheating at the connector can cause burns or fire. Do not continue using a plug that feels hot or shows signs of melting.

  • 1. Inspect plug for heat damage: Unplug from the vehicle and check for discoloration, soft plastic, or deformation around the pins. If present, replace the cable immediately.
  • 2. Check cable strain relief: Ensure the cable is not pulling excessively on the plug, which can stress the sensor wiring.
  • 3. Allow to cool: If the plug is warm but not damaged, allow it to cool fully and then retry at a lower current setting via the app.
  • 4. Inspect sensor wiring (advanced): With power OFF and cover removed, trace the small-gauge sensor wires from the output cable to the control board. Ensure connectors are fully seated and not damaged.
  • 5. Test with another cable (if socketed): If your Land Rover charger uses a socket, try a different Type 2 cable. If E15 clears, the original cable's sensor is faulty.
  • 6. If E15 persists: Replace the tethered cable assembly (with integrated sensor) or have a technician test and replace the control board sensor input circuit.
