Description:

This diagnostic trouble code is triggered when the control software detects a supply voltage (ELX) below 9 V. Low voltage can result from battery issues, poor connections, or alternator problems leading to insufficient power supply.

Reaction:

The equipment may experience reduced functionality or performance issues due to insufficient power supply. Critical systems may be prioritized, while non-essential functions are limited or disabled.

Recommendations:

• Check Battery Condition:
  • Inspect the battery for charge level, age, and any signs of wear or damage.
  • Recharge or replace the battery if necessary.
• Inspect Alternator Function:
  • Verify the alternator is properly charging the battery and providing adequate voltage.
• Examine Wiring and Connections:
  • Ensure all electrical connections are secure and free from corrosion.
  • Check for damaged or loose wiring that could lead to voltage drops.
• Test Load Conditions:
  • Check the electrical load on the system to ensure it is not exceeding the alternator’s capacity.

Note:

Maintaining a healthy battery and alternator is essential for reliable equipment operation. Regular checks and timely replacements can prevent low voltage issues.
