DTC CHG_f041: Communication Problem between Charger and Electric Vehicle Battery [09/2013 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK FOR ANY OTHER ALERT CODES OUTPUT
- Connect the RAV4 EV diagnostic tool to the No. 2 DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (READY).
- Turn the RAV4 EV diagnostic tool on.
- Enter the following menus: Alert List.
- Read the alert codes.RESULT
Result Proceed to CHG_f040*1 and CHG_f041 are output A CHG_f040*1, CHG_f041, electric vehicle charger internal fault alert codes*2 and electric vehicle battery internal fault alert codes*3 are output B *1: CHG_f040 may not be output.
*2: Electric vehicle charger internal fault alert codes are CHG_f002, CHG_f003, CHG_f004, CHG_f017, CHG_f054, CHG_f079, CHG_f080 and CHG_f081.
*3: Electric vehicle battery internal fault alert codes are BMS_f003, BMS_f007, BMS_f023, BMS_f024, BMS_f025, BMS_f026, BMS_f027, BMS_f028, BMS_f047, BMS_f050, BMS_f051, BMS_f054, BMS_f061, BMS_f104 and BMS_f108.
B → See step 5
A: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGER - ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY)
- Disconnect connector D4 from the electric vehicle charger.
- Disconnect connector h1 from the electric vehicle battery.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition D4-4 (TSCH) - h1-21 (TSCH) Power switch off Below 1 Ω D4-10 (TSCL) - h1-32 (TSCL) Power switch off Below 1 Ω D4-4 (TSCH) or h1-21 (TSCH) - Body ground and other terminals Power switch off 1 kΩ or higher D4-10 (TSCL) or h1-32 (TSCL) - Body ground and other terminals Power switch off 1 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector

OK: Go to next step
- Disconnect connector D4 from the electric vehicle charger.
- READ ALERT CODES OUTPUT
- Connect the RAV4 EV diagnostic tool to the No. 2 DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (READY).
- Turn the RAV4 EV diagnostic tool on.
- Enter the following menus: Alert List.
- Read the alert codes.RESULT
Result Proceed to CHG_f041 is output A CHG_f040 and CHG_f041 are output B
B → See step 6
A → See step 7
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ELECTRIC VEHICLE TRACTION MOTOR - ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGER, ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY)
- Disconnect connector D4 from the electric vehicle charger.
- Disconnect connector h1 from the electric vehicle battery.
- Disconnect connector D14 from the electric vehicle traction motor.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition D4-4 (TSCH) - D14-4 (TSCH) Power switch off Below 1 Ω D4-10 (TSCL) - D14-5 (TSCL) Power switch off Below 1 Ω h1-21 (TSCH) - D14-19 (TSCH) Power switch off Below 1 Ω h1-32 (TSCL) - D14-20 (TSCL) Power switch off Below 1 Ω D4-4 (TSCH) or D14-4 (TSCH) - Body ground and other terminals Power switch off 1 kΩ or higher D4-10 (TSCL) or D14-5 (TSCL) - Body ground and other terminals Power switch off 1 kΩ or higher h1-21 (TSCH) or D14-19 (TSCH) - Body ground and other terminals Power switch off 1 kΩ or higher h1-32 (TSCL) or D14-20 (TSCL) - Body ground and other terminals Power switch off 1 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
