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

CH-56Charging

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
All types of charging
cannot be performed. The vehicle power switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
Before charging, place the vehicle power switch in the OFF position.
Both the normal charge connector and the
quick charge connector (if so equipped) are
connected at the same time. The normal charge connector and the quick charge connector cannot be connected at
the same time.
The Li-ion battery is already fully charged. Confirm the available Li-ion battery capacity remaining by checking the Li-ion battery
available charge gauge. If the Li-ion battery charge gauge reaches 100%, the Li-ion battery
is already fully charged and cannot be charged. Charging automatically turns off if the
Li-ion battery is fully charged.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is too
hot or cold to charge. Confirm the Li-ion battery temperature by checking the Li-ion battery temperature gauge.
If the gauge indicates the Li-ion battery is too hot (red zone) or too cold (blue zone),
charging is not possible. Allow the Li-ion battery to cool or warm up before charging. For
additional information, refer to “Li-ion battery temperature gauge” in the “Instruments and
controls” section of this manual.
The 12-volt battery is discharged. If the vehicle electrical systems cannot be turned on even when the power switch is turned
on, the 12V battery may be discharged. Charge or replace the 12V battery.
The vehicle has a malfunction. The vehicle may have a malfunction. Confirm if the warning light on the meter is illumi-
nated. If a warning is displayed, stop charging. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.
CHARGING TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE
ChargingCH-57

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Normal charge or trickle
charge cannot be per- formed. There is no electrical power coming from
the outlet.
Confirm that there has not been a power failure. Make sure the breaker is on. If an outlet
with a timer device installed is used, power will only be available at the time set by the
timer.
The EVSE or charging device may have a
malfunction. If Genuine NISSAN EVSE is used, refer to the “Charging Troubleshooting” section in the
manual for the device.
The charge connector is not connected
correctly. Confirm the charge connector is connected correctly.
Plug might not be connected correctly. Confirm if the plug is connected correctly.
There is no electric power coming from the
normal charging station. Confirm operation procedure of charging station.
The outlet (that the EVSE is connected to) is
not connected to the power source cor-
rectly. Confirm the condition according to the illumination pattern of the indicator light on the
EVSE. For additional information, refer to "EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) control
box indicator light" earlier in this section.
Immediate charge can- not be performed. Charging timer has been set. Turn off the charging timer. For additional information, refer to “Charging timer” in this
section.
Charging timer cannot be performed. The charge cable is not connected. Connect the charge cable.
The time on the clock is wrong.
The charging timer function does not start charging based on the clock located on the
vehicle information display. Adjust the clock. For additional information, refer to “Clock” in
the “Instruments and controls” section of this manual. If the 12-volt battery is discharged
or if the Li-ion battery is disconnected, the time setting must be updated.
The immediate charge switch has been
pushed. Charging timer does not operate when immediate charge is selected.
Charging timer has not been set. Set the charging timer schedule. For additional information, refer to “Charging timer” in
this section.
Charging does not start because the
charging timer start time and end time are
set and the current time is before the set
start time. Confirm when the charging timer time is set to start charging. Change the charging timer
setting to the desired charge time or push the immediate charge switch. For additional
information, refer to “Charging timer” in this section.
The charge cable is not connected. Connect the charge cable beforehand.
CH-58Charging

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Normal charge stops in
the middle of charging. There is no power coming from the outlet. There may have been an electrical power failure, or the breaker may have failed. Charg-
ing will resume when the power source is reset.
The charge cable has been disconnected. Check that the charge cable has not been disconnected.
Both the normal charge connector and the
quick charge connector were connected at
the same time. If the normal charge connector and the quick charge connector are connected at the
same time, charging will be stopped.
Charging timer end time has been
reached. When the charging timer is set and the charge end time is reached, charging will be
stopped, even if the Li-ion battery is not fully charged.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is too
hot or too cold to charge. Confirm the Li-ion battery temperature by checking the Li-ion battery temperature
gauge. If the gauge indicates the Li-ion battery is too hot (red zone) or too cold (blue
zone), charging is not possible. Allow the Li-ion battery to cool or warm up before charg-
ing. For additional information, refer to “Li-ion battery temperature gauge” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this manual.
The electric power supply from the normal
charging station was stopped. Confirm operation procedure of charging station.
Quick charge cannot be performed. Incorrect charge connector connection, not
fully inserted or may not be locked.
Check that the charge connector is connected correctly and that it is locked.
The self-diagnostic function of the quick
charge device returns a negative result. There is a possibility that the vehicle has a malfunction. Stop charging. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
The power switch of the quick charger is off. Check the power switch of the quick charger.
Quick charge stops in the middle of charging. Charging is stopped by the quick charge
timer.
Charging will stop depending on the timer function setting of the quick charge device.
If you need to charge the Li-ion battery more, start the charging procedure again.
The power supply for the quick charger is off. Check whether the power supply for the quick charger is off.
