Indicator, Battery Charge: Operation
The charge indicator lamp is divided into five segments; each segment represents a 20% portion of the state of charge. Each segment will flash as the vehicle is charging in that specific segment, until all the lamps are illuminated and 100% charge is reached. All five segments will turn off 15 minutes after full charge has been achieved.
The charge indicator lamp also provides diagnostic fault detection, this is done by flashing the two outer most LED's at a specified rate. When a fault is present, the LED's will illuminate to flash until:
- The vehicle is unplugged.
- The fault has been corrected or a duration of 24 hours has passed.
The charge indicator also indicates managed or delayed charging status. Starting with the segment on the right or passenger side of the vehicle, each segment will flash sequentially in turn until all five segments have flashed.
This sequence will repeat until:
- Charging enables
- A fault is detected
- The vehicle is unplugged
