READY POWER or CHARGE: FAULT Status and action to be taken  All LED lamps will light for a 1/2 second check when EVSE is first connected to an outlet.
  Af ter initial processing is completed, when the EVSE is not connected to the vehicle, or the EVSE
is connected to the vehicle but charging is not being performed. For additional information, refer
to “Charging troubleshooting guide” in this section.
 While the Li-ion battery is being charged
  If the EVSE control box indicator light does not illuminate af ter connecting the plug to the outlet,
check the GFCI and circuit breaker for the outlet. If either the GFCI or breaker has tripped, the cir-
cuit may not be suitable for use with EVSE. You should have a qualified electrician inspect and
repair the electrical circuit. If the GFCI breaker is not tripped, stop using the EVSE. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.

 The EVSE could not detect sufficient grounding at outlet for reliable EV charging. Consult a quali-
fied electrician to have the outlet checked.


When the temperature of the electrical plug is too hot or the EVSE is unable to detect the tem-
perature of the electrical plug.
The EVSE is restricting the charging current for safety according to the temperature of the elec-
trical plug.
POWER or CHARGE Lamp status:
 = No charging current restricted.

= Charge current restricted
 = Charge stopped
This problem may be caused by a failure in the outlet.
Stop using the outlet and consult a qualified electrician.
If the same indication continues af ter checking an outlet, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.  
 

 

  

 L1&L2EVSEonly
The temperature detection circuit in the plug of the EVSE is malfunctioning.
Power Lamp status:

= Charge current reduced
 = Charge stopped
Since the EVSE is restricting the charging current, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer.
