What is the reason for the flashing fault light on the charging pile?
2 Answers
The specific reasons and solutions for the flashing fault light on the charging pile are as follows: 1. Charger converter damage: Unable to convert and charge. Solution: Replace the charger resistor or open the battery and check with a multimeter. 2. Charger fuse blown. Solution: Replace the charger or check and replace the power cord, battery socket for detachment or poor contact. 3. Incomplete charging: Red indicates a fault, yellow indicates standby, and green indicates normal. A continuously flashing yellow light means the charging pile is in standby mode without charging. Solution: Check if the charging operation is normal.
When I encounter a flashing fault light while charging my electric vehicle, I often ponder over it, and there are quite a few common causes. First is overheating—the charging station running for extended periods or operating in high-temperature environments triggers its internal protection mechanism, causing the light to flash as a cooling reminder. Then there's communication failure, where poor contact between the charging gun and the vehicle or unstable network signals disrupt communication. Software glitches are also frequent, with bugs appearing after system updates leading to abnormal flashing signals. Other causes include voltage instability or loose plugs triggering warning lights. I always recommend trying simple steps first: disconnect the power, let the station rest for 5 minutes to cool down, and reconnect for testing. If the flashing persists, observe the flashing pattern, as different sequences correspond to different error codes—for example, E01 indicates a network issue. For prevention, ensure the charging environment is well-ventilated, avoid direct sunlight, and regularly clean dust to prevent clogging the cooling vents. This not only resolves most issues but also extends the equipment's lifespan.
