Solutions for Chery Arrizo 7e Charging Faults?
2 Answers
Arrizo 7e high-voltage faults can be resolved with the following methods: If it's not an issue with the high-voltage coil, then it's likely a problem with the oscillation power supply. First, check for any open circuits, then inspect the high-voltage wires and ignition coil. Verify whether the main relay ignition system power supply is normal and if the crankshaft position sensor signal is good. If the high-voltage coil is open-circuited, it can only be replaced. The Arrizo 7e is Chery's first mass-produced plug-in hybrid model. Externally, the Arrizo 7e is almost indistinguishable from the internal combustion engine version, with only two differences: a chrome strip above the grille designed in matte black and the badge at the rear, making the overall appearance not highly distinctive. The interior differences are even fewer, with seat stitching changed to light blue and minor variations in the dashboard details. In terms of power, the Arrizo 7 PHEV plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.6L gasoline engine and an electric motor, paired with a CVT transmission. Its minimum fuel consumption is only 1.9L/100km, with a battery capacity of 9.2kWh and a pure electric driving range of over 50km. It does not come with a fast-charging interface; slow charging to full takes about 4 to 5 hours. The charging time is acceptable to most users. It's worth noting that the Arrizo 7e enjoys provincial and municipal subsidies in many cities.
When my Chery Arrizo 7e encountered charging issues, I first checked if the charging gun connection was secure—that time it was because the plug wasn’t fully inserted. Next, I tried switching to a different charging station, as the external power supply might have been unstable. Then, I flipped through the vehicle manual to inspect whether any fuses in the fuse box had blown; a simple replacement costs just a few dollars. Weather also plays a crucial role—extreme cold or heat can trigger the protection mechanism, causing charging to halt, especially on winter mornings when preheating the car in the garage helps. The onboard charger module might be aging or have software glitches; sometimes, a system update can fix it, which requires connecting a diagnostic tool. Finally, if troubleshooting doesn’t work, just drive to the 4S shop for professional inspection—avoid tampering with high-voltage components yourself to prevent electric shock. Regularly cleaning the charging port and preventing dust buildup can reduce the frequency of faults.
