RLC 000158.04 – Control Software, Supply Voltage (ELX) Too Low

RLC 000158.04 (RLC 158.04)

Code: 000158.04

Shortcode: 158.04

Description:

This error code indicates that the supply voltage (ELX) has dropped below 9 volts. Such low voltage levels can be caused by a failing battery, poor electrical connections, or issues with the charging system.

Reaction:

When this error is detected, the control software may experience limited or no functionality, affecting the performance or operation of specific electronic control systems within the equipment.

Recommendations:

  • Check Battery Health:
    • Test the battery to ensure it holds a charge and is in good condition. Replace the battery if it is old or unable to maintain adequate voltage.
  • Inspect Electrical Connections:
    • Inspect all electrical connections, including those at the battery and control software. Ensure they are clean, secure, and free from corrosion.
  • Verify Charging System:
    • Check the alternator and voltage regulator for proper operation. Ensure they are charging the battery correctly. Replace faulty components as necessary.
  • Examine Wiring:
    • Inspect the wiring harness for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Repair or replace any compromised wiring.

Note:

Consistently low supply voltage can cause long-term damage to the control software and other electronic components. Regular maintenance of the electrical system is crucial to prevent such issues.
