Possible Causes
Damaged PP resistor in Type 2 plug, Broken PP conductor in cable, Contaminated or bent PP pin, Faulty PP sensing circuit on control PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect from mains and vehicle before handling the connector.
- 1. Visual inspection of Type 2 plug:
- Check the proximity pin for physical damage or contamination.
- Clean with a dry cloth; avoid liquids.
- 2. Check cable strain:
- If the cable has been frequently yanked or used as a handle, internal PP wiring may be damaged.
- Look for kinks or crushed sections near the plug.
- 3. Test on another vehicle:
- Connect to a different EV to see if E09 persists.
- 4. If error persists:
- The PP resistor network inside the plug or the sensing circuit on the control PCB may have failed.
- These components are not typically field-serviceable; contact NRGkick for plug or cable assembly replacement.
