Description:

This diagnostic trouble code is generated when the control software detects a supply voltage (ELX) exceeding 16 V. This can occur due to overcharging from the alternator, issues with the voltage regulator, or wiring faults leading to excessive voltage supply.

Reaction:

When this error is detected, the equipment may enter a protective mode to prevent damage to electronic components. This could include reducing functionality or shutting down certain systems.

Recommendations:

• Inspect Alternator and Voltage Regulator:
  • Check the alternator for overcharging issues.
  • Verify the voltage regulator is functioning correctly and not allowing excessive voltage.
• Examine Wiring and Connections:
  • Inspect wiring for any signs of damage, fraying, or poor connections.
  • Ensure all connections are secure and free from corrosion.
• Check Battery Health:
  • Test the battery for any faults or issues that could lead to abnormal voltage readings.
• Monitor System Voltage:
  • Use a multimeter to monitor system voltage and ensure it stays within the normal range (typically 12-14 V).

Note:

High supply voltage can damage sensitive electronic components. Regular maintenance of the alternator and voltage regulator is crucial to prevent this issue.
