Possible Causes

Mechanical jam in Type 2 socket lock pin, Failed lock solenoid or motor, Broken lock position sensor, Misaligned socket housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before working on the locking mechanism.

  • Check for foreign objects: Inspect the Type 2 socket for debris or damage around the locking slot. Remove any obstruction carefully.
  • Manual release: Some NewMotion models have a manual lock release accessible from inside the housing. Use it to free a stuck plug if necessary (consult the installation manual).
  • Inspect lock assembly: With the cover removed, locate the locking solenoid/motor assembly on the socket. Check for broken plastic parts, misalignment, or corrosion.
  • Test movement: Gently move the lock pin by hand (with power off) to ensure it slides freely. Lubricate lightly with a plastic-safe lubricant if stiff.
  • Check wiring and sensor: Verify the lock actuator connector and any position sensor wiring are secure on the main PCB.
  • Replace lock assembly: If the actuator coil is open or the mechanism is damaged, replace the complete lock assembly or socket module.
