OIC 000158.04 – Control Software, Supply Voltage (ELX) Too Low
OIC 000158.04 (OIC 158.04)
Code: 000158.04
Shortcode: 158.04
Description:
This error code indicates that the switched supply voltage to the control software (ELX) has dropped below 9 volts. Low voltage can cause the control software to operate improperly or fail to function.
Reaction:
The control software may function in a limited capacity or stop working altogether, potentially disrupting vehicle operation.
Recommendations:
Inspect Power Supply:
- Check the power supply source to ensure it is providing adequate voltage. Verify that the battery or power supply unit is functioning correctly.
Check Wiring and Connections:
- Inspect all wiring and connections related to the power supply for signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Repair or replace any faulty components.
Test Voltage Levels:
- Use a multimeter to monitor the voltage levels supplied to the control software. Ensure that the voltage stays within the recommended range (typically 12-15 volts).
Replace Faulty Components:
- If the power supply unit or battery is found to be faulty, replace it with a properly functioning unit.
Update Control Software:
- Ensure that the control software is updated to the latest version. Firmware updates may improve voltage handling capabilities.
Consult Manufacturer Support:
- If the issue persists, consult technical support or the manufacturer for further diagnostics and potential replacement parts.
Monitor System Performance:
- After addressing the issue, monitor the system to ensure that the voltage levels remain stable and the error does not recur.
Note:
Maintaining a stable and adequate power supply is crucial for the proper operation of the control software. Undervoltage conditions can lead to significant operational issues if not promptly addressed.
