Well that's not it.

Looks like pin number 3 does not have a function. Pin number 3 is the one missing.

I have observed that the lock tab on the chademo clicks when pressed, activating a micro switch. I realized I no longer hear that clicking.
I believe this micro switch is wired in serries with the proximity circuit. So if this switch isn't closed the plug isn't reading as being plugged in all the way.
