Likely causeCorrection procedure
The traction battery warming control 
is operated ( P. 9 9 )
When the traction battery warming 
control operates, the charging 
schedule is not used and charging is 
performed.
This is a control to  protect the trac-
tion battery, and not a malfunction.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
System check is not completed prop-
erly after DC charging.
The EV system can not be started 
until the system check is completed 
properly. Perform a system check 
following the procedures on P.115.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
The DC charging is not completed 
within the restric ted time with DC 
charger.
• Depending on the type of DC char- ger, the timer may be set to stop 
charging after a certain time. 
Check with the charging station 
manager.
Depending on the condition of the 
vehicle, the charging time may 
become longer than  normal, and the 
DC charging may not be completed 
within the restricted time.
• When the A/C, headlights, audio  system, etc., are  turned on, the 
electricity consum ption of the vehi-
cle will be increas ed. Perform the 
DC charging after turning off all of 
the above.
• The temperature of the traction  battery may be low. Perform the 
DC charging after warming up the 
traction battery.
