Safety Warning

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Pilot signal amplitude drift on main control board, EV limiting current due to its own battery or temperature conditions, incorrect current configuration stored in charger

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety warning: Do not attempt to modify internal pilot circuits.

  • Verify charger setting: Confirm the current displayed on the MUSTART screen matches your expectation (e.g., 32 A).
  • Check EV settings: Some EVs allow limiting charge current in their menus. Ensure no limit is set.
  • Test another EV: If another vehicle charges at full expected current, the limitation is likely in the original EV.
  • Service if charger‑related: If all EVs charge at reduced current despite correct settings, the pilot signal circuit on the main control board may be out of calibration and require replacement.
