  • Compressor running but battery stays warm
  • Range reduced in hot weather

Common causes

  • Low refrigerant charge
  • Chiller heat exchanger fouled
  • Expansion valve malfunction
  • Compressor performance degraded
  • Coolant flow rate to chiller insufficient

Diagnostic steps

  1. Check refrigerant charge level
  2. Monitor chiller inlet and outlet temperatures
  3. Test expansion valve operation
  4. Measure coolant flow through chiller
  5. Check compressor performance

Repair notes

Recharge refrigerant system. Replace chiller, expansion valve, or compressor as needed.
