PL3 000629.06 – Control Unit, Current Too High

PL3 000629.06 (PL3 629.06)

Code: 000629.06

Shortcode: 629.06

Description:

This diagnostic trouble code is generated when the control unit for range shifting (DirectDrive transmission) detects a current that is too high. This may be due to electrical faults, short circuits, or issues within the control unit itself. When this happens, the driver outputs at the control unit are switched off to prevent damage.

Reaction:

The control unit switches off driver outputs to protect the system from potential damage due to excessive current.

Recommendations:

Inspect Electrical Components:

  • Check all electrical components related to the control unit for signs of damage or short circuits. Repair or replace any faulty components.

Examine Wiring and Connections:

  • Inspect wiring and connections for damage, wear, or corrosion. Repair or replace as necessary to ensure proper current flow.

Test Control Unit:

  • Test the control unit to ensure it is functioning correctly. Replace the control unit if it is found to be defective.

Check for Obstructions:

  • Ensure there are no obstructions or mechanical issues that could cause excessive current draw.

Note:

Excessive current can cause severe damage to electrical systems. Address this issue promptly to avoid further complications.
