Possible Causes

Shorted CP/PP lines, Faulty Schneider EVlink CP sensing circuit, Software state machine stuck, Debris bridging pins in socket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting the socket.

  • Inspect socket: Look inside the Type 2 socket for foreign objects, moisture, or conductive debris that could bridge pins.
  • Clean carefully: Use a dry, non-metallic brush or compressed air (low pressure) to clean the socket. Do not use liquids.
  • Power cycle: Restore power and check if the status resets to 'ready' with no cable connected.
  • Internal diagnostics: If the charger still thinks a vehicle is connected, a technician should test the CP/PP sensing circuits and replace the control board if necessary.
