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.
