Your plug-in system has malfunctioned

Does it charge okay?

did the dealer clear the codes and say to come back if they returned?

did they give you the codes?

were they going to contact corporate?

 

A very common reason for similar types of errors in other plug-in vehicles is with the EVSE (wall charger); usually a non-OEM EVSE. Also, ground faults at the wall receptacle.

 

...bummer... I sympathize with you....a brand new prime....Hope they will help you find the problem fast ,the dealer has to learn this new generation and find the quirks as soon as possible

 

What does this mean “plug in system has malfunctioned?” Did the dealer explain? The plug in system seems limited to the onboard car charger, charging cord, or charging connector, or is it more? What was the car doing when this happened, charging? Sorry for so many questions. On my 2020 yesterday it took a few minutes to start charging, with the charge now or later screen displayed, then started, don’t know why. The other one I had randomly did the same thing.

 

A bunch of pips had bad chargers

 

Hummm...interesting but I suspect by reading the description of the day the error message appeared, does not quite explain it. As you probably know plugging your car to an EVSE is governed by the SAE J 1772 standard . In a nutshell , an active and constant. dialog is establish between the EVSE and the car . 5 pins of different length and diametre are linked thru the plug and the receptacle . 2 of them carries AC current , an other is the Pe (protective ground), and one PP pin (proximity pilot) aka plug present mainly preventing the car to moove while being plugged to a EVSE aka charging station . Finally the CP (control pin) where the dialog is generated between the car and the EVSE. .
This dialog is happening at 1KHZ meaning a time period of 1 millisecond . Mainly this dialog controls the current requested by the onboard charger in the car .As the connector is removed, the shorter control pilot pin disconnects first, causing the EVSE to drop power to the plug. This also ensures that the power pins will not be disconnected under load, causing arcs and shortening their life. The ground pin is longer than the other pins, so it breaks last.
As you can see , controlling logic is distributed at the source (EVSE) and at the destination (car onboard charger) thru the connector.Also the car ECU monitors other parameters supervising the charge process.
So I don't think that pulling the handlle out quickly is the problem

 

The message you got from the MID was generated by a ECU and Toyota must have a flowchart reffering to that message .
Keep us informed of future actions..meanwhile enjoy your new car

 

@ForrestMunden as reported he his waiting Toyota for a cure ,Thanks for the follow up , by the way this new prime owner gen 5 has the same error message .

 

Same issue here, 2023 prime 581 miles. Only ever used the factory charge cable.

Fault code: P1CEA

I'm going to clear it and cross my fingers

 

Came back, took it to the dealer, they said it is related to the battery cooling pump, sent me home in a rental. Will update when I hear back.

 

They must be talking about ones that may be hardwired in somehow. They can't possibly be talking about the 3rd party dashcams plug in through the existing 12v/USB outlets.

But then again, one of the Toyota dealers I bought from a few years ago mentioned putting on any kind of aftermarket wheels would void the entire cars warranty. Guess where I never took the car for service.

 

i don't think dealers have a clue about warranty laws
