SERVICE:
The majority of charge cables replaced have been found to have no fault.
The internal logs in the cable’s control unit often show that charging has been attempted with a lack of
ground at the home outlet side.
This may indicate that the customer experienced a fault because of an intermittent, poor, or missing
ground connection at the outlet(s) where they attempted to charge.
Before replacing the cable, the fault should be confirmed in the workshop according to the following
method:
•
•
Test a known good cable, outlet & vehicle and confirm the vehicle charges correctly (white status
indicator blinking on the cable). Test using the same type of outlet that the customer is using (either
110 volt or 220 volt).
Test the customer’s cable using the same known good outlet and vehicle. Confirm that there is a
fault, usually accompanied by one of the following:
- No indicators illuminate.
- Blinking red indicator.
- Permanent red indicator.

Technical Journal 34102.2.1
Note 1: A momentary blink of the red indicator at plug-in to the wall outlet is the normal startup check.
This blink is then followed by the white Indicator.
Note 2: Check of the cable is part of the recommended fault tracing in VIDA (CSC YW recommended)
Replace the cable if a fault can be reproduced.
If an intermittent fault is suspected, please create a TIE Vehicle Report (Support Needed) and include a
detailed description of the customer’s complaint.
* If the fault cannot be reproduced at the workshop, it is likely that the external charging source
(household socket where the customer charges) is the root cause of the charging issues. Inform the
customer to follow the advice given in the owner’s manual which includes the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
The charging cable has a built-in circuit breaker. Charging must only take place with grounded and
approved sockets.
Never connect the charging cable to an extension cord or a multiple-plug socket.
Do not use one or more adapters between the charging cable and the electrical socket.
Do not connect one or more adapters of any type between the charging cable and the car.
Do not use an external timer between the charging cable and the electrical socket.
If the fuse of the wall socket has too low a current capacity, the fuse could blow while the car is
charging. Set a lower amperage for charging in the car’s center display (BEV only). If the problems
persist, contact a qualified electrician for investigation of further measures.
Note 3: Checking of the external charging source - though cannot be performed at the workshop when
the problem is caused by the customer’s household socket - is part of the recommended fault tracing in
VIDA (CSC YW recommended)
