Scanner Use Case
Temperature warning on the charger or dashboard? Scan it.
Updated March 2026
The situation
The charger screen or your car's dashboard is showing a temperature-related warning. It might say the battery is too hot, the cable is overheating, or the charger itself is thermal throttling. You do not know if this is dangerous, if you should unplug immediately, or if charging will continue at a lower speed.
How the scanner helps
Scan the warning and the scanner tells you the severity. A cable temperature warning means reduced speed but continued charging. A charger shutdown means move to a different unit. A battery temperature advisory from your car usually means the system is managing itself. The scanner tells you which situation you are in and what to do.
