Description:

This error code is triggered when the supply voltage (BAT) at terminal J4 drops below 9 volts. Low voltage levels can indicate 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 at terminal J4, 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.
