P0E69
Control Pilot Indicator Circuit Intermittent/Erratic
The control pilot indicator circuit drops out or jumps intermittently. The on-board charger negotiates voltage, current and safety with the EVSE; a fault interrupts charging or limits it to AC slow-charge despite a DC fast charger being attached.
