Try to Pair with a Different Controller or USB Cable Step 1: If the DS4 still will not pair, try another USB cable or try a different DS4 controller. Step 2: Try another USB port on the console. If it works on a different port, the PS4™ may need to be repaired. Step 3: Try to pair the controller to a different PS4™, or a computer with PlayStation™Now to ensure the console is not the issue
