    If a DTC is displayed, go to  A.

    If a vehicle control history is displayed, go to  B.

    If no DTC or vehicle control history is displayed, go to  C.

    (If trouble occurred, use the Electric vehicle charger cable assembly that was provided with the vehicle.)

    If no DTC or vehicle control history is displayed, and charging did not start, go to  D.

    (If trouble occurred, use a charger or an Electric vehicle charger cable assembly other than the one that was provided with the vehicle.)

    If no DTC or vehicle control history is displayed, and charging started, go to  E.

    (If trouble occurred, use a charger or an Electric vehicle charger cable assembly other than the one that was provided with the vehicle.)

    Yes  :

    1. Go to the related DTC chart.
    2. Go to the vehicle control history.
    3. Go to  4.
    4. Analyze the cause (vehicle cause).

      Analyze the cause as shown below.

    5. Analyze the cause (environment or user cause).

    Environment

    • Stop caused by power outage, breaker trip, etc.
      • Ask questions to customer and explain method of use.
      • Explain that charging does not start when a power outage or breaker trip occurs.
    • Plug-in charging suspended from the charger side or problem with compatibility
      • Ask questions to customer and check charger.
