diagnostics error PPP018

During diagnostics I received error PPP018 - there may be a problem with the power port. The MacBook is charging. With what it can be connected? I ask for help, who knows.

Has to be plugged in when you run the test.




Does you Mac support fast charging.... you do not say(?)

Why running the Diagnostic... is there some bigger issue that you do not state?

Thank you! Yes, you are right, the adapter from which the MacBook is charged is now 61W. The kit should include 140W.
I bought a Macbook pro 16 m1 pro today which was in use. The seller gave me the wrong adapter in the kit. I didn't understand this when purchasing. I decided to do some diagnostics and received an error report ppp018. It turns out that the reason is the adapter, which does not support fast charging. Thanks for the help. I am confident that this is not a hidden defect.
