CHRYSLER PACIFICA HYBRID 2018 Owner's Manual

General Information
The vehicle is also equipped with a Battery Management
System that is designed to:
•Ensure safe operation
• Maximize driving range
• Maximize the life expectancy of the high voltage battery
NOTE:
• During vehicle start up and shut down a clicking noise
may be heard from within the vehicle. When the ignition
is in the ON position, the high voltage battery contactors
inside the battery are closed to make the stored electric-
ity inside available for vehicle use. The clicking noise
heard is the sound of these contactors as they open and
close during normal operation.
• In extreme temperatures, high or low, the High Voltage
Battery may need to be conditioned and therefore may
require the vehicle to be plugged-in. When the vehicle is
not plugged-in, the following message, “Plug In Vehicle
for Battery Conditioning” might appear in the instru-
ment cluster display. When the High Voltage Battery is
not ready to crank the vehicle at start up, due to
conditions including extreme temperatures, the message
“Battery Conditioning Leave Ignition In Run” will be displayed in the instrument cluster display. Keep the
ignition in the ON/RUN position for the battery to
recover. Switch the ignition back to the OFF position
when the message disappears, and then start the vehicle.
When the “Battery Conditioning Leave Ignition in Run”
message is displayed on the instrument cluster display,
do not operate any air conditioning controls.
• Under cold or hot temperatures, while the vehicle is
plugged-in and the ignition is in the OFF position, the
vehicle may wake-up to pre-condition the high voltage
battery for usage.

•It is recommended that the vehicle be plugged-in over
night where possible to maximize the electric range of
the vehicle.
The message will only be displayed when the ignition is in
the RUN position, or if there was a failed attempt to
achieve PSA (Propulsion System Available) when the High
Voltage Battery cell temperatures are either too cold, or too
hot.HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGING OPERATION

Charging Cordset Operation
1. Plug the AC plug of the charging cordset into a 15 A, or20 A, 120 VAC, 60 Hz, grounded wall receptacle. Do not
use an extension cord, outlet/plug adapter, or a worn
outlet. The charging cordset will not operate safely
unless it is plugged directly into the wall receptacle.
NOTE: The EVSE should be plugged into a dedicated
circuit, not a circuit shared with other devices drawing
electricity on the circuit.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor could result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
product – if it does not fit the outlet, you must have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
2. Check to see if the charging cordset is ready to charge by reviewing the indicator lights. After a brief self-check,
where the indicator light will flash, a green AC indicator
light and two green “charge active” indicator lights
indicate that the cordset is ready for use.

3. If the charging cordset is ready to charge, ensure thevehicle is in PARK, and then connect the charge connec-
tor to the vehicle’s charge inlet. You will hear a “click”
when the charge connector is inserted correctly and
coupled with the vehicle’s charge inlet. 4. When the vehicle commences charging, the Charge
Active Indicator Lights will cycle from left to right, and
then both turn off. This pattern will repeat while the
vehicle is charging. The lights are illuminated at the rate
of approximately one cycle per second.

NOTE:The vehicle should start charging automatically. If
not, please check the following:
•Charging Cordset - The charging cordset status indi-
cators illuminate green or red to identify the charging
cordset status. Refer to “Troubleshooting Using The
Status Indicator Display” in this section for further
information on the charging cordset status.
• Wall Receptacle – Check whether the wall receptacle is
functional (no power outage) and/or plug the charg-
ing cordset into a different wall receptacle.
• Charging Schedule – Check whether or not the charg-
ing schedules have been enabled. If enabled, check
that you are within the scheduled time and day of the
week. If a charging schedule has been enabled in the
vehicle, and it is outside the time and day of the week,
you may override the schedule for this charging event
by plugging in the charge connector, unplugging it,
and then plugging it back into the vehicle charge inlet.
Complete the double plug sequence within ten sec-
onds for it to override the set schedule. 5. To stop the charging process, disconnect the vehicle side
connector first and then the charging cordset from the
wall receptacle. To disengage the vehicle coupler, press
the button on the charge connector first and then
remove the connector from the vehicle charge inlet.
6. Close the inlet door when an EVSE is not connected to the vehicle.

NOTE:It is good practice to keep the ignition in the OFF
position while conducting Level 1 Charging. This mini-
mizes any additional vehicle loads the EVSE has to sup-
port. The additional electrical loads will extent the High
Voltage Battery charging time.
Troubleshooting Using The Status Indicator Display
If the vehicle is not charging properly, consult the status
indicator lights.
The AC Power Indicator displays the status and safety of
the input power. If this indicator is green, the power is
within acceptable limits to charge the vehicle. If only the
AC Power Indicator is flashing red, then there is a problem
with the AC power at the electrical outlet. If the AC Power
Indicator does not return to green, then the outlet should
be inspected by a licensed electrician to ensure the voltage,
frequency, and grounding are complaint to national and
local electrical codes and ordinances. It may be possible to
attempt charging from a different outlet.
The Fault Indicator displays the status of the Portable
EVSE Cordset and the vehicle connection. The Portable
EVSE Cordset will not allow charging while the fault
indicator is red. If it is off, the Portable EVSE Cordset has
not detected any internal faults, or faults with the vehicle
connection. If the Fault Indicator is flashing red, there is a fault detected either with the Portable EVSE Cordset,
electronics, or with the vehicle connection. The Portable
EVSE Cordset may attempt to retry to provide current to
the vehicle if the fault is cleared. If the Portable EVSE
Cordset does not attempt to provide charge to the vehicle,
the charge connector will need to be removed from the
vehicle to clear the fault.
The fault code list in the table below provides a reference
for the important faults that are detected by the Portable
EVSE Cordset. When a fault is detected, the AC Power
Indicator, the Fault Indicator, or both the AC Power and
Fault Indicators will flash red. If only the AC Power
Indicator is red, there is a problem on the AC Power side of
the unit. If only the Fault Indicator is flashing red, there is
a problem internal to the unit or with the vehicle. If both
the AC Power and Fault Indicators are flashing red, an over
temperature condition is detected at either the AC plug or
within the EVSE enclosure. Additional information about
the faults is provided by a fault code that is displayed on
the two green Charge Rate Indicators. The fault code
consists of four digits, each with a value of 1 or 2. The value
of a digit is the number of indicators illuminated for that
part of the sequence. For example, fault code (1, 2, 1, 1) will
display the following sequence: One indicator will illumi-
nate for 0.3 seconds, then two indicators will illuminate,
3
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 27

then one indicator, and finally one indicator will illumi-
nate. After all four fault code digits have been displayed,
the indicators will remain off for one second before repeat-
ing the sequence.
