Read freeze frame and freeze data with a scan tool; note conditions when the code set
Visually inspect wiring, connectors, and harnesses around charger and control module for damage, corrosion, or pin push-out
Check fuses and relays related to charger supply and control circuits
Backprobe the charger A enable pin and measure voltage with key ON and during attempted enable
Measure resistance/continuity between enable pin and battery positive to check for shorts
Inspect for aftermarket accessories that may be tied into the circuit

Expected logic: 0 V (low) when disabled; typical control logic 0–5 V; some systems use 12 V/ignition supply for enable — consult service manual
Fault condition: measured voltage higher than the controller’s high threshold (varies by vehicle; often >5 V or near battery voltage)
Nominal supply (vehicle battery) typically ~12–14.5 V (12V systems) or higher in HV/HEV systems — reference vehicle-specific values
Use manufacturer wiring diagrams for exact pin identification and expected voltages

Retrieve and record trouble codes and freeze-frame data with a scan tool. Note ignition state, battery voltage, and temperature.
Visually inspect harnesses, connectors, and mounting for the charger, vehicle/control module. Repair obvious damage.
With harness connected, backprobe the charger A enable terminal and measure voltage with key ON and while commanding charger enable from scan tool. Compare to expected values.
If enable line is high, disconnect the charger connector and re-measure the harness side. If voltage remains high on harness side, suspect wiring short to B+ or control module output sourcing voltage.
Check continuity between the enable circuit and battery positive to confirm short. Repair short to battery (pinching, chafing, aftermarket tie-ins).
If harness side measures correct (low) when charger disconnected but goes high with charger connected, suspect charger internal fault — remove/replace or bench-test charger per service procedure.
Inspect and test fuses/relays that feed the enable circuit or charger power. Replace as required.
If control module is suspected (sourcing voltage incorrectly), verify other outputs and grounds, check for software bulletins, and consider module replacement only after wiring and charger are confirmed good.
After repairs, clear codes and perform functional test: command charger enable, monitor circuit voltages, and confirm proper charging operation over a charge cycle.

Open or damaged insulation allowing contact with B+ causing the enable line to be high
Defective charger pulling the enable line high internally
Connector pins pushed out, corroded, or contaminated causing incorrect voltage reading
Control module output transistor or driver failed, sourcing voltage when it should not
