The illumination/flashing pattern
changes to inform the user of the
charging status in the following
ways.
*1: If equipped
*2: Flashes for approximately 15 seconds.
*3: Flashes for approximately 10 seconds.
■Charging indicator
When a system malfunction occurs while charging or using the Remote Air
Conditioning System, the charging indicator rapidly flashes for approximately
10 seconds, and then turns off.
If this occurs, the next time the hybrid system is started, a message is dis-
played on the multi-information display. When a message is displayed, follow
the instructions displayed on the screen.

■ Charging cable types
The following charging modes are categorized according to the availability of
a charging control device, which detects malfunctions such as electrical leak-
ages, and its location (whether it is attached to the charging device or
charging cable). The type of charging cable that can be used differs accord-
ing to the charging mode.
1
2
Charging modeOutline
Mode 1
A charging method which does not use charging
control to detect electrical leakages between an
external power source and the vehicle.
Does not apply to this vehicle.
Mode 2
A charging method which connects the vehicle to an
external power source through a charging cable
equipped with a CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device).
Applies to charging through most household sock-
ets.
Mode 3
A charging method which charges from a charging
device (such as at a public charging station)
equipped with charging control to detect electrical
leakages. Control to detect electrical leakages is
implemented on the device side. Therefore, a CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) is not
equipped to the charging cable.
Not all charging devices are equipped with charging
cables. If there is no charging cable available, use
the Mode 3 charging cable equipped to this vehicle.
(if equipped)

PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47A89E_(EE)
The CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) has the following
safety features.
■Electrical leakage detection function
If an electrical leakage is detected during charging, the power
source will be automatically interrupted, thus preventing fires or
electrical shocks caused by electrical leakage.
If the power source is interrupted, the error warning indicator flashes.
If the power source is interrupted: P. 121
■
Automatic check function
This is an automatic system check that is run before charging
begins to check for problems in the operation of the electrical leak-
age detection function.
If a malfunction is found in the electrical leakage detection function as a
result of the check, the error warning indicator flashes to inform the
user. (P. 121)
■
Temperature detection function
A temperature detection function is equipped to the plug. While
charging, if heat is generated due to looseness on the socket side
etc., this function suppresses heat by controlling the charging cur-
rent.
■Conditions for supplying current to the vehicle
The CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) is designed to pre-
vent electrical current from being supplied to the charging connec-
tor when it is not connected to the vehicle, even if the plug is
inserted into the socket.

Indicator operation
3 indicators are used to indicate the following conditions.
Power indicator
Illuminates when electricity is
flowing to the CCID (Charging
Circuit Interrupting Device).
Charging indicator
Illuminates when charging is in
progress.
Error warning indicator
Flashes when there is an electri-
cal leakage or when a malfunc-
tion occurs in the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device).
■
When a malfunction occurs during charging
The indicators on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device)
use a combination of different statuses (not illuminated, illuminated
or flashing) to inform the user of internal malfunctions.
When the error warning indicator is illuminated or flashing, temporarily
remove the plug from the socket and then reconnect it to check if the
error indicator turns off.
If the error warning indicator turns off, charging is now possible.
If it does not turn off, perform the correction procedure in the following
chart.

The plug-cord can be replaced using the following procedure.
Prepare the charging cable
( P. 118) and the replacement
plug-cord.
Pull out the release key.
Make sure that the pulled out
release key is not lost.
Remove the plug-cord connec-
tor cap.

With the release key fully
inserted into the release slot of
the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device), turn the
plug-cord connector nut of the
plug-cord to remove the cord.
After the plug-cord is removed,
remove the release key.
Align the protrusion of the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device), with the groove of the
plug-cord, insert the plug-cord
into the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device), and then
turn the plug-cord connector
nut of the plug-cord to install it.
Turn the plug-cord connector nut of
the plug-cord in the opposite direc-
tion of removal until a click sound
is heard and the plug-cord is
secured.
Install the plug-cord connector cap and release key to the plug-cord
that has been removed.
Securely install the release key to the protection cap to prevent it from
being lost. Also, make sure that the release key does not fall out of the pro-
tection cap accidently.
Store the plug-cord in a safe, clean and dry place.
