The charge port is unable to detect whether a
charge cable is inserted or the type of charge
cable connected.
If this alert appears while a charge cable is
connected, it should be determined whether
the issue is caused by the charging equipment
or the vehicle. Try charging the vehicle using
different external charging equipment (charge
cable, charging station, charging stall, etc.).
- If the vehicle begins charging, the issue
was likely with the equipment.
- If the vehicle still does not charge, the
issue may be with the vehicle.
If this alert appears while a charge cable is not
connected or if the issue is suspected to be
with the vehicle, inspect the charge port inlet
and the charge cable connector for any
obstructions (use a flashlight as necessary).
Debris, moisture, and/or foreign objects
present in the charge port inlet or the charge
cable connector can prevent the charge port
from properly detecting charge cables. If any
obstruction is found:
- Remove the debris / foreign object or dry
any moisture.
- Try re-inserting the cable into the charge
port. Charging should now be possible.
Service should only be scheduled if any of the
following conditions are present:
- This alert has appeared / remains present
and the vehicle has been unable to charge
with multiple, different charging
equipment.
- This alert has appeared / remains present
without any charging equipment
connected after any charge port inlet
obstruction has been removed or no
obstruction was found.
