CHARGING CABLE CHECK




Visual check


1.Check that the cable, the regular charging plug and the plug do not have damage, corrosion or rust. If they have damage, corrosion or rust, replace the charging cable.

Check on insulation resistance


caution When the insulation resistance is measured, set the range of the special tool electric insulation tester (MB992355) to 500 V. When the insulation resistance is measured at the range more than 500 V, the component may be damaged.


1. Use the special tool electric insulation tester (MB992355) to measure the insulation resistance at the plug side with the range of 500 V.
note The plug shape is different depending on the country. Perform the check according to the specification of each country, referring to the illustration.

Standard value:
Tester connection terminal
Standard value
1 - 2
1 MΩ or more
2 - 3
1 MΩ or more

2. Use the special tool electric insulation tester (MB992355) to measure the insulation resistance at the regular charging plug side with the range of 500 V.

Standard value:
Tester connection terminal
Standard value
1 - 5
1 MΩ or more
2 - 5
1 MΩ or more
3.If the resistance deviates from the standard value, replace the charging cable.

Check on regular charging plug built-in switch



1.Measure the resistance between the regular charging plug terminal No. 4 and the terminal No. 5.

standard value:
Regular charging plug release button
Normal condition
Without pressing release button
135 - 145 Ω (at 20°C)
With pressing release button
432 - 528 Ω (at 20°C)
2.If the resistance deviates from the standard value, replace the charging cable.

Check pilot signal terminal



1.Connect the charging cable with a home socket.
2.Use the analogue voltmeter from the regular charging plug side to connect the pilot signal terminal between the terminal No. 3 and the terminal No. 5. Measure the output voltage.
Standard value: approximately 12 V
3.If the voltage deviates from the standard value, replace the charging cable.
