Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit/System Description
The drive motor battery charger cable allows the vehicle to be charged using a common household power outlet. The drive motor battery charger cable contains LEDs that indicate the status of the drive motor battery charger cable. The drive motor battery charger cable automatically prohibits voltage transfer to the hybrid/EV battery charger receptacle and illuminates the indicator LEDs red if it senses internal faults or inadequate household voltage. If the drive motor battery charger cable senses no faults, voltage transfer to the hybrid/EV battery charger receptacle occurs and the indicator LEDs are illuminated green. Charging continues until Hybrid/EV Battery Pack State of Charge reaches 86% at which point the green indicator will flash slowly, indicating charging is complete.
