Defect

The fuse box circuit inside the cab of the electric truck was designed with insufficient consideration. Age-related degradation of the water pump, or activation of emergency operating mode, may increase water pump drive current beyond the maximum allowable current of the connector terminals. If the connector melts due to overheating, a warning lamp (amber) indicating a cooling system malfunction illuminates. In the worst case, the VCU (vehicle control ECU) loses power and the vehicle becomes inoperable.

Corrective action

Modify the circuit downstream of the fuse box inside the cab on all vehicles. Additionally, inspect the wiring connector in that circuit and replace associated components with new parts if melting or discoloration is found.

状況

電動トラックのキャブ内にあるヒューズボックスにおいて、回路の設計検討が不十分なため、ウォータポンプの経年劣化や非常作動モードによってウォータポンプの駆動電流が大きくなると、コネクタ端子の最大許容電流を超える電流が流れることがある。 そのため、当該コネクタが発熱により溶損すると、冷却装置の異常を示す警告灯(橙色)が点灯し、最悪の場合、VCU(車両制御ECU)の電源が遮断されて走行不能になる。

改善措置

全車両、キャブ内にあるヒューズボックス下流の回路を修正する。また、当該回路の配線コネクタを点検し、溶損や変色が認められた場合は関連部品を新品に交換する。
