YUKA Charging Station Not Found: Positioning and Dock Fixes

When YUKA reports that the charging station cannot be found, treat it as a location-and-approach problem first. Confirm the station is powered and unchanged, then verify positioning and the mapped return route.

Quick answer

Check station power, clear the approach, confirm stable RTK/positioning, and make sure the base has not moved since the map was created. Watch one return attempt before remapping.

Fix it in this order

  1. Confirm the station is powered
    Inspect the outlet, adapter, cable, and station indicator. Record the indicator state before power-cycling.
  2. Check whether the base moved
    Even a small shift can affect the saved location and final alignment. Use the app’s relocation workflow if the station position changed.
  3. Clear the final approach
    Remove obstacles, tall grass, soft soil, and low branches. Ensure the mower has enough straight, level space to align.
  4. Verify positioning quality
    Check the RTK station’s sky view, LED, and the mower-to-reference connection. Test YUKA in a nearby open area.
  5. Inspect the map route
    Look for narrow channels, sharp turns, edited boundaries, or no-go zones that interrupt access to the base.
  6. Clean relevant sensors and contacts
    Gently clear dirt from the mower and station surfaces specified in the manual. Do not spray connectors.
  7. Retest before remapping
    Run a short supervised task. Remap only if placement changed or the route itself is invalid.

What usually causes this?

Station power loss, moved hardware, weak RTK positioning, an obstructed or invalid return route, dirty sensors, and uneven dock placement can create a station-not-found symptom.

How to verify the fix

YUKA should navigate to the saved base, align, dock, and show a rising charge level. Repeat once from a different nearby location.

Do not skip this check: a cleared message is not proof of a repair. Confirm the mower completes the affected action under supervision before restoring unattended schedules.

When to contact support

Share the exact YUKA model, serial number, map screenshot, RTK status, station LED, photos of the approach, firmware versions, and a return-attempt video.

Stop troubleshooting and contact the manufacturer if you find damaged wiring, swelling, burning odor, water inside electrical parts, or repeated failures after the documented checks.
