On Saturday I plugged my 2011 Nissan Leaf into the OpConnect EVSE on Electric Avenue in Portland. The car beeped once to indicated that it was plugged in, then it beeped twice to indicate that it was charging. This was all normal. I did not swipe my OpConnect card since it had already started charging. I left to enjoy the National Plug In Day event.
When I came back 90 minutes or so later the car was no longer charging. It was only at ~30% SOC and it was still plugged in. It should have been changing still. I think it charged for less than 30 minutes. I started the car; the amber error indicator lit up. I ran Leaf Spy and read Diagnostic Trouble Code "B29C1 2368 Charger EVSE VC-98".
I plugged back in, swiped my card and completed the charge without any further problems.
I don't know if this is a reproducible problem or a onetime anomaly.
Have any of you seen this DTC before or know what went wrong to cause it?
I have seen something like this before at a SemaConnect EVSE. I reported it and they changed the unit out. I did not have an ODBII reader then to see the DTC. I reported Saturday's failure to OpConnect via email tonight, I'll post their reply (if any).
