Charging issue

is the timer set?

 

I use the timer religiously, unless I forget,but mine doesn't blink like that. With the timer set, when you plugin, the light comes on then shuts off after a few seconds, but no blinking.

 

Isn't there a warning text on the MID?

 

Page 101 in the 2012 book: Situation - The charging indicator flashes for 10 seconds. Reason - An error has probably occurred in the charging system. Correction procedure - Turn the "POWER" switch to ON mode and comply with the warning message shown on the multi-information display. (->P. 562) (Gives 9 possible messages)

 

The cable is covered under the 10 years/150k miles warranty. If it is a cable issue, just take it to a dealer.

Did you try a different outlet? Have you tried any other EVSE?

But if you ever need to buy a 2nd 120v EVSE, look for a used Leaf one on eBay, they're about $200-300 last I checked.

 

the chargers have gone bad in some 2014's, you can find the threads here. perhaps you should visit the dealer, it should be covered under warranty.

 

I believe it should be covered under the CA emissions and battery warranty (10/120). But I just read the guide and it doesn't mention anything about the EVSE being covered or not. However, I would think since the mileage and emissions estimates for the PiP are dependent on having a charged battery, it should apply. at least that's how I would approach the discussion with the dealer.

 

Hello,
Had this happen at a public charging station. It was the only time I've seen this until now. I would check a different outlet. Possible grounding issue. Just a thought. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

there's no recall. i'll look around and see what i can find.

edit: search for this title;

1) 'Plugin Charger issues'. (4 new chargers in this thread)

2) 'Charging failure' (this member had the light blinking 10 times symptom) turned out to be an ecu.

 

You might want to try someone else's cable or even test it at a public charger before you buy a new one? I think you've ruled out that its an outlet issue. But at this point, it could be the cable/EVSE or the car? Maybe test out another cable at the dealer or try their Level 2 charger if they have one.

 

You need to try using a public charging station. I had a similar situation (I don't remember how many times the light flashed) and tried several charging stations with the same result. Ended up having to replace both the charging ECU and the charger.

 

I may have a used EVSE from a Leaf for $200. if that would interest you.
