3. Is the protection light illuminated? If yes, your vehicle may have
undergone a series of faults which forced the PCS to terminate the
charge process.
•
Push the stop button.
•
Unplug the PCS charge connector from the vehicle inlet, to clear the
fault.
•
Inspect the charge cable and connector for any signs of possible
damage (i.e. cuts, tears or breaks in the cable insulation). If damage is
found, stop any further attempts to charge the vehicle and call the
PCS manufacturer for repair.
•
If the charge cable and connector are undamaged, reconnect the
vehicle. Is the charge interrupt light illuminated or flashing? Consult
your authorized Ranger EV dealer to determine possible fault.
4. Is the service light illuminated? If yes,
•
Disconnect the PCS charge connector from the vehicle inlet.
•
Turn off the power to your PCS at the service or disconnect panel.
Turning off the power may allow the PCS to clear the fault.
•
Turn the power back on and reconnect the PCS to the vehicle. Is the
service light still illuminated? If so, call the PCS manufacturer for
repair or replacement.
•
Are the ready or charging lights illuminated? If yes, your PCS is
operating correctly. Consult your authorized Ranger EV dealer to
determine vehicle fault.
•
If turning the PCS power on and off or unplugging and plugging the
charge connector in the vehicle inlet does not cause any of the lights
to illuminate on the PCS, the PCS has either failed or has a damaged
charge cord. Call the PCS manufacturer for repair or replacement. The
toll free number is located on the PCS.
The Ranger Electric Vehicle should be connected to a PCS
whenever it is not being driven.
