Abstract
A failure detection method in a charging connector locking system includes transmitting, by the main controller, an initial command that is received from the charge controller to the locking device; monitoring, by the main controller, whether the initial command is normally executed by the locking device; and determining, by the main controller, whether a failure occurs in the locking device by monitoring whether the initial command is executed while transmitting, to the locking device, a lock command and an unlock command alternately at predetermined time intervals within a predetermined number of times when the initial command is not normally executed, thereby determining the failure of the locking device with high accuracy.
