(CP_a004) Charging equipment not recognized Try again or try different equipment

Post by thaterrormessage »

The charge port is unable to detect whether a charge cable is inserted or the type of charge cable connected. If this alert appears while a charge cable is connected, it should be determined whether the issue is caused by the charging equipment or the vehicle. Try charging the vehicle using different external charging equipment (charge cable, charging station, charging stall, etc.).

• If the vehicle begins charging, the issue was likely with the equipment.

• If the vehicle still does not charge, the issue may be with the vehicle.

If this alert appears while a charge cable is not connected or if the issue is suspected to be with the vehicle, inspect the charge port inlet and the charge cable connector for any obstructions (use a flashlight as necessary). Debris, moisture, and/or foreign objects present in the charge port inlet or the charge cable connector can prevent the charge port from properly detecting charge cables. If any obstruction is found:

1. Remove the debris / foreign object or dry any moisture.

2. Try re-inserting the cable into the charge port. Charging should now be possible. As this alert is usually specific to external charging equipment and power sources, and it does not typically indicate an issue with your vehicle that can be resolved by scheduling service, it is recommended that you:

• Try charging with multiple, different types of charging equipment.

• Make sure any charge port inlet obstruction has been removed.

You can also try charging your vehicle using a Tesla Supercharger or Destination Charging location, all of which can be located through the map on your vehicle's touchscreen display. See Range Assurance on page 72 for more details. Additional third-party charging stations may also be available in your area to help you to pinpoint the issue.
