Onboard charger

Delphi onboard charger is an aftermarket solution for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) that converts AC to DC in order to charge the traction battery pack.

Since 2015, Delphi offers a wide range of AC/DC onboard chargers in production that support fast charging for plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles. We apply the same technological expertise to our aftermarket onboard chargers for exact OE performance.

What is an onboard charger for an electric vehicle?

Unlike internal combustion engines, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) use an electric traction motor to drive the vehicle’s wheels. The onboard charger charges the traction battery pack, and the energy stored in the battery is then used to power the electric motor.

When an electric vehicle is plugged into a household outlet or a level 2 charger, the charging cable pulls alternating current (AC) from the power grid and sends it to the onboard charger. In order to store the electric power in the battery, the onboard charger must then convert AC to direct current (DC).

Additionally, the onboard charger monitors voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge while charging for the safety of the electrical system and the driver.

Resource Highlights

A DPF sensor is crucial for exhaust systems and emissions levels. Learn how to replace one to industry standards.

How do I remove the DPF sensor?

Firstly, you’ll need to remove the engine cover. Next, remove the electrical connector from the sensor by putting pressure on the connector and press it in. Now lift the tab and you should be able remove it with a pull. Lastly, you’ll need to remove the pipework from the sensor before you take it out.

How do I remove the pipework?

Unscrew the retaining screw from the sensor. Once you’ve done this you can start work on unfixing the pipework. Using a pair of pliers, loosen the clips from the pipework. Now, slide the pipework off the sensor.

How do I visually inspect the new part?

Simply put the old and new parts next to each other and check that the barbs are the same diameter and the electrical keyways are the same.

How do I fit the new part?

Essentially, do what you’ve just done in reverse. When it comes to fitting the clips to the pipework, use the pliers again making sure the clips are snug and not too close to the edge. Relocate the sensor into the clip, place it against the backing plate and put the retaining screw back in. Now, reattach the electrical connector, pushing down firmly until you hear a click that lets you know it’s secure. Replace the engine cover and use a diagnostic tool to erase any fault codes and check live data.
