Safety
Protocol work still uses live connectors — follow pad safety.
How it presents
Symptom
SECC discovery wrong IP — vehicle cannot find SECC on the expected link-local/IP path; handshake dies at discovery/SDP. protocol field note: keep evidence scrubbed and prove the ranked cause before module RMA on CCS-H09.
Root causes (by observed frequency)
- #1 SECC IP/VLAN misconfig after network change
Protocol before power
- #2 Switch blocking necessary discovery traffic
- #3 Wrong SECC firmware/profile for the vehicle cohort
- #4 Cable/PE issue mis-reported as discovery fail
Diagnostic procedure
1. Capture stage: SDP/discovery vs later SLAC/ISO
Expected: Fails at discovery
Tools: SECC logs
2. Verify SECC network settings vs OEM commissioning
Expected: Correct IP/VLAN
Tools: OEM tool
3. Check switch ACLs/mirroring not dropping discovery
Expected: Allowed
Tools: IT
4. Known-good vehicle/cable prove
Expected: Discovery succeeds
Tools: known-good
5. OEM SECC config/FW only after network path proven
Tools: OEM
The fix
Wrong SECC discovery IP is network/SECC config — confirm before power-module blame.
- Correct SECC IP/VLAN to the commissioning standard. Document readings and scrubbed photos for CCS-H09 before closing the ticket.
- Fix switch ACL issues blocking discovery. Document readings and scrubbed photos for CCS-H09 before closing the ticket.
- Prove with known-good cable/vehicle. Document readings and scrubbed photos for CCS-H09 before closing the ticket.
- Apply OEM SECC firmware/profile updates as required. Document readings and scrubbed photos for CCS-H09 before closing the ticket.
- Validate full CCS start after discovery succeeds. Document readings and scrubbed photos for CCS-H09 before closing the ticket.
