Summary

SOME ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) RANGERS MAY EXHIBIT A NO-CHARGE CONDITION. THERE ARE SEVERAL POSSIBLE CAUSES WHY THE BATTERY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) MIGHT NOT ALLOW CHARGING (AS INDICATED BY THE OP_STATES). A CHARGING SYSTEM FAULT (C1838) DOES NOT NECESSARILY INDICATE A CHARGER FAILURE. THIS PROCEDURE WILL HELP TO PINPOINT A NO-CHARGE CONDITION USING PREVIOUSLY STORED DATA IN THE BCM. *TT
