Alert description

Control pilot signal remains in non-active state (i.e. IDLE/ NONE/ SNA/ INVALID), indicating the charge station is connected to the vehicle but is not ready to charge the vehicle, for too long while a charge cable is plugged into the charge port (CP). Charging may not start or may be interrupted unexpectedly.

Potential impact

Charging may not start or may be interrupted unexpectedly.

Set condition

Charge handle proximity is detected as connected to the charge port (CP) without charge handle button pressed, and control pilot signal is detected in state non-active state (i.e. IDLE/ NONE/ SNA/ INVALID) for more than five seconds.

Clear condition

Charge handle proximity is no longer detected as connected to the charge port (CP) without charge handle button pressed, or control pilot signal is no longer detected in state non-active state (i.e. IDLE/ NONE/ SNA/ INVALID). Clears after five seconds if either of these conditions is true and a charge cable is still present. Otherwise, clears immediately.
