I experienced this at the time you brought it up, and I just tried it again with the same result. This was on EVGO and Electrify America chargers. Have you been successful at charging since you reported this?

Follow up to previous posts on my RAV 4 at Toyota of Carlsbad. I have had it there since the beginning of February for the Cruise Control issue. They were told by Tesla to wait for another drive unit and gateway computer, so they sent me away in a rental Corolla Hybrid (50+ MPG) and it stayed...

They should ask you and not Tesla next time, because Tesla's response is that they should replace the drive unit again. What's funny is the service rep said they were going to use a "new" one instead of a rebuild. Everything I have heard on this forum says those do not exist. I have no idea when...

I am taking my RAV back to Carlsbad Toyota tomorrow to fix the remaining issue with the cruise control. The new drive unit has been perfect so far otherwise. They left the JdeMO in non-functional condition last time, so I may need to swing by QC Charge on my way back whenever it gets done to...

The drive unit was replaced. They held onto it per my request for an extra week, due to one issue they cannot seem to resolve. After replacing the drive unit, they could not get the car to go into cruise control. Everything else works. Tesla came back and said they would not be able to work with...

Unrelated to your original post, but thought it a fun coincidence that yours came off the line right before mine did (VIN 1655).

Carlsbad Toyota took the RAV in on Thursday the 3rd. They found a bunch of 12 volt errors, so they had to replace that battery first. It was an original Toyota battery already, only 3 years old, so they gave me a 50% credit on it. That cleared the 12 volt errors. They sent off the Tesla errors...

I got a hold of Tony Williams. He now recommends Carlsbad Toyota again due to a service manager change. I will have mine dropped off there tomorrow and will let you all know how it goes.

Looking for recommendations on where to take a RAV with a Check EV message (JdeMO installed) in LA/Orange/San Diego County. Thanks!

My RAV is throwing a check EV error and won't go READY. I need to have it towed to a dealer. Last time I needed this, I took it to Carson Toyota because no Orange County dealers would work on it with JDeMO. I'm just wondering if that has changed before I call Carson to see if they will look at...

I had this problem fixed last month - see http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2211 The code was CHGF078, and the costs were as follows: $3439.18 - Chargr Assy $28.96 - G48 Coolant $35.10 - Super Long Life Coolant $554.40 - Labor This was covered by the extended warranty. Carson...

This was my experience as well. No EVSE would work with the on-board charger. JdeMO worked just fine. The part was roughly $3600 on my invoice (covered by warranty).

Picked the RAV up yesterday. They replaced the on-board charger and all is well. They charged $300 to work around the JdeMO, which is a little high, but they did not give any hassle about it. Took 1 week from drop-off to pickup, with a free rental. JdeMO was fully functional on return as well.

Update: Due to life getting in the way, and not being dead in the water with the JdeMO ;) , I just dropped off the RAV at Carson Toyota yesterday. They have been testing it this morning (multiple charge interruption emails). I will update more as I hear back.

So this morning the onboard charger decided to stop working. It starts charging, then clicks off and on 4 times before giving up. There are no Check EV messages, and the vehicle starts normally. I have two different EVSE's, and both give the same result. Anybody have any experience with this?

Did you figure out a place to get it serviced? I had a traction battery replacement done at Carson Toyota almost a year ago, and they worked around the JDeMO. See a few posts down for the story. Tony has a contact for the service manager if you want to reach out in advance. I had to have Tony...

I did have an OEM battery. The last time I had an issue, Tustin blamed it on that and I let them replace it. It worked fine for 3 weeks until the traction battery failed, which was likely the real original problem. It may have helped having Tony "grease the skids" with the service manager...

Follow up - With Tony's assistance, I received confirmation from Carson Toyota that they would service the vehicle with the JDeMO. I had it towed there on 5/22/17. After confirming on arrival what was to be done, they diagnosed the issue after a couple of days to be a traction battery failure...

If you have a JdeMO, I do not recommend Tustin Toyota in Orange County. I have a check EV message and took it there for diagnosis (flatbed). After getting to the battery, they decided they no longer wanted to troubleshoot it due to the wiring that the JdeMO adds. They forced me to move it...

And that is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much! Interesting thing happened after I did that. I tried starting the vehicle again, and the Ready locked in this time. I did it multiple times, and the Check EV message cleared. I've driven the car for a bit with no issue, but I am still going...
