On-Vehicle Inspection [12/2023 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Lexus TX 550h+ and 2024 Lexus TX 500h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSPECT ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGER CABLE ASSEMBLY
HINT:
- When inspecting the electric vehicle charger cable assembly provided with the vehicle, use a known good AC power source and electric vehicle charger cable assembly.
- If a malfunction is detected, the CCID relay will turn off immediately to stop the supply of power to the vehicle.
- Before checking the plug-in charging function, make sure that the SOC of the HV battery is less than 70%.
- If the SOC of the HV battery is 70% or more and the electric vehicle charger cable assembly is connected to the inlet AC charger cable to perform plug-in charging, the charging indicator of the electric charger cable assembly will not illuminate and the charging indicator (EV charger lid indicator assembly) will illuminate for several seconds and then turn off.
- While performing plug-in charging, if the electric vehicle charger cable assembly (charging connector) is shaken, charging will be suspended for safety.
- The electric vehicle charger cable assembly is unrelated to the display of the EV driving distance.
- Check the plug-in charging function:
- Connect the electric vehicle charger cable assembly and perform plug-in charging.NOTE:
- Make sure to use a known good AC power source.
- Make sure to use a known good electric vehicle charger cable assembly.
- If the malfunction cannot be reproduced, perform [#1].
- If the malfunction can be reproduced, inspect the vehicle.
HINT:
- Connect the electric vehicle charger cable assembly and perform plug-in charging.
- If the malfunction cannot be reproduced [#1]:
- Connect the electric vehicle charger cable assembly and perform plug-in charging.NOTE:
- Make sure to use a known good AC power source.
- Make sure to use the electric vehicle charger cable assembly that the customer used when the malfunction occurred.
- If the malfunction cannot be reproduced, check the condition of the AC power source and charging conditions when the malfunction occurred based on the interview with the customer.
HINT:
Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [12/2023 - ]
- If the malfunction is reproduced, perform [#2].
- Connect the electric vehicle charger cable assembly and perform plug-in charging.
- If the malfunction is reproduced [#2]:
- Compare the state of the power indicator, charging indicator and error indicator of the electric vehicle charger cable assembly while performing plug-in charging with the following table.
*a Power Indicator *b Charging Indicator *c Error Warning Indicator Power Indicator Charging Indicator Error Warning Indicator Content Detection Condition Socket Connection Charging Inlet Connection Procedure Illuminated - Off Voltage is applied to the plug. - ◦ - - Off - Off Voltage is not applied to the plug. - x - - Plug in the electric vehicle charger cable assembly to a socket.
- Check if voltage is present at the socket.
CCID internal malfunction. The CCID internal electronic does not turn on. ◦ - Replace the electric vehicle charger cable assembly. Illuminated Off Flashes
(once)CCID relay stuck closed error The conditions to close the CCID relay are not met but the relay is closed. ◦ - Replace the electric vehicle charger cable assembly. Illuminated Off Flashes
(twice)CCID relay stuck open error The conditions to close the CCID relay are met but the relay is open. ◦ - Replace the electric vehicle charger cable assembly. Illuminated Off Flashes
(3 times)Electricity leakage detected The electricity leakage detection function is operating. - Electric leak on the vehicle side
- Electric leak on the electric vehicle charger cable assembly side
- Incorrect detection due to power source malfunction
◦ - Check the operation at several different electrical outlets. - If the malfunction can be reproduced only at a specific electrical outlet, the electrical outlet may be malfunctioning and should be checked by a qualified tradesperson.
- If the malfunction is reproduced at several electrical outlets.
HINT:
- Refer to AC Line Insulation Malfunction [12/2023 - ]
- Make sure to use an outlet other than one used by the customer.
Illuminated Off Flashes
(4 times)CPLT (duty) error The duty ratio is less than 5% or 40% or more. ◦ ◦ Replace the electric vehicle charger cable assembly. Illuminated Off Flashes
(5 times)CPLT (-12V) error -12 V cannot be detected while the duty waveform is output. ◦ ◦ Replace the electric vehicle charger cable assembly. Illuminated Off Flashes
(6 times)Electricity leakage self diagnosis error The electricity leakage self-diagnosis function is abnormal. ◦ ◦ Check the operation at several different electrical outlets. - If the malfunction can be reproduced only at a specific electrical outlet, the electrical outlet may be abnormal voltage and should be checked by a qualified tradesperson.
- If the malfunction is reproduced at several electrical outlets, replace the electric vehicle charger cable assembly.
HINT:
Make sure to use an outlet other than one used by the customer.
Flashes
(interval of 0.25 seconds)- Off Abnormally high power source plug (electrical outlet) temperature detected Abnormally high power source plug (electrical outlet) temperature detected - Connecting part of electrical outlet is extremely hot
- Power source plug internal malfunction
◦ - Check the operation at several different electrical outlets.
HINT:
Make sure that the plug is fully inserted into the outlet.- If the malfunction can be reproduced only at a specific electrical outlet, the electrical outlet may have internal deterioration and should be checked by a qualified tradesperson.
- If defects reemerge with the multiple electrical outlets, exchange only the power plug redo the reemergence confirmation.If it reemerges, replace the charging cable.
HINT:
Make sure to use an outlet other than one used by the customer.
Flashes
(interval of 0.25 seconds)- Flashes
(interval of 0.25 seconds)Power source plug temperature detection malfunction - The electric vehicle charger assembly is not connected correctly.
- Charging plug temperature cannot be detected.
◦ - Check that the electric vehicle charger assembly is locked correctly. - If the electric vehicle charger assembly is not locked, reconnect and lock it correctly.
- If the electric vehicle charger cable assembly is locked correctly, check for an open in the circuit.
Illuminated - Flashes
(interval of 0.25 seconds)Advance notice of end of service life The number of charging cycles has reached a specific number. ◦ - - Illuminated - Illuminated End of service life reached The maximum number of charging cycles has been reached. ◦ - Replace the electric vehicle charger cable assembly. - ◦: Correct
- x: Incorrect
HINT:
- In the case of an electricity leakage error:
*a Flashing 3 times *b Illuminated *c Off *d 0.5 seconds *e 2.5 seconds The power indicator flashes in the pattern shown in the illustration.
*a Flashing at interval of 0.25 seconds *b Illuminated *c Off *d 0.25 seconds In the case of a power source plug temperature detection malfunction:
The power indicator and error indicator flash in the pattern shown in the illustration.
- If a certain number of charging cycles is reached, CCID relay operation will be suspended.
- The end of service life advance notice and end of service life reached warnings are displayed when charging has completed and a corresponding number of charging cycles has been performed.
- Compare the state of the power indicator, charging indicator and error indicator of the electric vehicle charger cable assembly while performing plug-in charging with the following table.
