Battery Charger Coupler Temperature B Too High
The coupler B temperature exceeds the safety threshold during charging. The on-board charger negotiates voltage, current and safety with the EVSE; a fault interrupts charging or limits it to AC slow-charge despite a DC fast charger being attached.
Affected components
- Battery charger coupler b
Common causes
- High likelihood: Coupler contacts oxidised
- Medium likelihood: Charging current above coupler rating
Possible symptoms
- Charge status indicator shows fault
- Charging may not start or interrupts
- Slower-than-expected charge rate
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
- Reduced-power or limp mode may occur
