9-52 Driving and Operating
Charging Status
Feedback
The vehicle has a Charging Status
Indicator (CSI) at the center of the
instrument panel near the
windshield. When the vehicle is
plugged in and the vehicle power is
off, the CSI indicates the following:
.
Solid Green – Vehicle is plugged
in. Battery is not fully charged.
Battery is charging.
.
Long Flashing Green – Vehicle
is plugged in. Battery is not fully
charged. Battery charging is
delayed.
.
Short Flashing Green – Vehicle
is plugged in. Battery is fully
charged.
.
Solid Yellow – Vehicle is plugged
in. It is normal for the CSI to turn
yellow for a few seconds after
plugging in a compatible charge
cord. The solid yellow may be
extended depending on the
vehicle and if there is a total
utility interruption via OnStar.
See “Utility Interruption of
Charging” later in this section.
This may also indicate that the
charging system has detected a
fault and will not charge the
battery. See “Charge Cord
Status Indicators” later in this
section.
The system may be thermally
conditioning the battery during any
of the states above, requiring
electrical energy to be transferred to
the vehicle.
If the vehicle is plugged in and
vehicle power is on, the CSI will be
on solid green. The same is true
during a remote start if the vehicle is
plugged in.
If the vehicle is plugged in and the
CSI is off, a total utility interruption
using OnStar or a charging fault has
been detected. See “Utility
Interruption of Charging” or “Charge
Cord Status Indicators” later in this
section.
This chart indicates vehicle
feedback when the charge cord is
plugged in.
