Possible Causes
Damaged proximity switch in handle, Broken proximity wire in cable, Stuck mechanical button on J1772/Type 2 connector, Faulty proximity input on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker before inspecting the connector wiring.
- Check connector button: On J1772 handles, press and release the latch button several times to ensure it moves freely and is not stuck partially depressed.
- Inspect connector head: Look for cracks or impact damage around the latch area that could affect the internal proximity switch.
- Flex test the cable: With power OFF, gently flex the cable near the handle while monitoring continuity (if equipped) or observing if the error appears/disappears. Intermittent behavior suggests a broken proximity conductor; replace the output charging cable assembly.
- Check board connection: Verify the proximity wire connector is firmly seated on the main control PCB and not corroded.
- If all wiring is intact: The proximity input circuit on the main control PCB may be faulty and require board replacement.
