Possible Causes

Incorrect CP resistor network on PCB, Loose CP terminal in Type 2 socket, Degraded CP cable conductor, Misconfigured maximum current setting causing EV refusal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not probe CP pins with metal tools while the charger is powered.

  • Try another EV and cable (if detachable): This helps determine if the issue is with the charger or the vehicle/cable.
  • Check configuration: In the installer menu or app, verify that the maximum current and phase settings are compatible with your EV and supply.
  • Inspect connector: Look for bent or recessed CP pin in the Type 2 socket or plug. Do not attempt to bend pins back with force.
  • Service calibration: A technician can measure CP voltage and duty cycle with appropriate tools and replace the PCB or socket if out of spec.
