After resetting the charging error code, the car was able to be charged normally again at the dealership. This suggests something is wrong with my EVSE, so I will look to replace it. I'm planning to get this...

I will be sure to ask for exact error codes when I bring car in this week. Thank you @dstjohn99 for posting these photos. I asked the service manager whether he can point the EV technician to this thread in case it helps any but they have a policy against that so no go.

I spoke with the Toyota service manager and he thinks my charging cable shorted something in the charging connector and that system error code is going to prevent charging until it's reset, which they will do for me when I bring it in. They recommend I don't plug my existing cables again to...

Awesome, great info -- thanks @Al Savage! I'm currently using one of those $200 Chinese EVSE that I got on Amazon awhile back, so maybe you get what you pay for. I will look into getting a prebuilt OpenEVSE.

Thank very much for the information, guys. I'm not sure what my course of action is long-term, but Tustin Toyota has agreed to let me try to use their charger on Monday to see if it works. The first thing I requested when I had the car serviced was for them to test for blown fuses, and they...

UPDATE: After driving the car down to 20mi range, I tried to plug it in this morning and faced the same issue as before. This leads me to think the charging assembly is at fault and I may have wasted almost $900 to replace a component that didn't need replacing because of a misdiagnosis by the...

Cool, thanks for the link! I plugged car in yesterday night and it was charging normally again, thank goodness. I hope it stays this way.

Yeah not sure why they included that info. What happened was the first time I encountered the charging malfunction I thought it was simply because I forgot to plug the car in overnight since when I drove it later in the afternoon the range only showed ~55 miles (only in hindsight I realized that...

Hey guys, I finally got the car back today. As seen in attached pic, the part itself was $310; it was mostly the labor involved in taking the car apart to replace that part that made it total $850. The first thing I did when I reached home was plug in my 240V charger to see if the problem was...

I'll be sure to report back once I get my car back in working order. It's been almost a week and the car is still in the shop (they did mention the Tesla part will take time to arrive).

The EV specialist wasn't working that day, so everything I was told was conveyed to me by the service manager who read it off his notes. He didn't mention any specific codes (hopefully I'll know more once I get the paperwork/receipt), but he did say the EV specialist was 99% sure it was the...

Awesome, thanks in advance, Steve! We're in Mission Viejo, so not too far. Rav4 EVs are rare and getting rarer, so we're blessed to have this forum.

UPDATE: Luckily Tustin Toyota still had an EV specialist on hand to do a proper diagnosis. Good news: the fault likely isn't with the onboard charging assembly ($3500 excluding labor). The not-so-good news: there is an intermittent electrical problem with the charging port, which needs to be...

Thanks, I just dropped it off at Tustin Toyota...already dropped $160 to diagnose it. The charging assembly is $3500, so let's hope it's not that. I should know in about a day or so. This is my first time paying for servicing after 72k miles, but I suspect it won't be the last. I'll update here...

This just started happening: I plug the EVSE cable in, the lights slowly blink like it's charging normally, then after about 12 seconds both lights blink 19 times and charging prematurely stops with a "charging stopped by system malfunction" error in the dashboard. Before bringing it in to the...
